Branch details at a glance

About this branch

The branch is located at PLOT NO 2018 MOUZA TALAPADA AT PO RAHAMA DIST JAGATSINGHPUR. It serves the Rahama region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of Canara Bank. The IFSC CNRB0006131 is used to identify this branch on the RBI payments network.

Why every Canara Bank branch has a unique IFSC

Before electronic settlement systems went live in India, money transfers between banks relied heavily on demand drafts, mail transfers and telegraphic transfers. These older instruments routinely took days to clear and were prone to misrouting because there was no single machine-readable identifier for a branch. The Reserve Bank of India solved this by issuing each participating branch — including RAHAMA of Canara Bank — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CNRB0006131 is therefore not just an internal reference; it is the digital postcode that lets the RBI's NEFT, RTGS and IMPS rails route funds straight to the right branch ledger without any human intervention.

Today, almost every salary credit, vendor payment, refund and EMI deduction in the country flows through this network, which is exactly why a correct IFSC matters so much. A wrong character can either bounce the transfer or send it to the wrong branch, and reversing such a credit is a manual, time-consuming process. Treat IFSC CNRB0006131 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How to transfer money using IFSC CNRB0006131

2. Choose Add Beneficiary and select NEFT / Other Bank.

NEFT vs RTGS vs IMPS — which one should you use?

All three modes accept the IFSC CNRB0006131 for Canara Bank – RAHAMA, but they differ in speed, minimum amount and use case. The table below summarises the differences so you can pick the right channel for the situation at hand.

For most retail customers crediting the Rahama branch, NEFT or IMPS will be the quickest and most economical option. RTGS comes in for one-off, high-value movements such as property purchases, vendor settlements or large gifts.

UPI payments and IFSC CNRB0006131

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India. While most UPI transactions are addressed using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) like name@bank, the underlying account at Canara Bank – RAHAMA is still mapped to IFSC CNRB0006131. When a customer links a savings or current account to a UPI app for the first time, the app silently looks up this IFSC against the account number to verify the account exists. The VPA acts as a friendly alias on top of the same plumbing.

If a UPI transfer to or from this branch fails, the most common reasons are an inactive UPI handle, a daily limit breach or a temporary outage at one of the participating banks — not the IFSC. You can always fall back to NEFT or IMPS using the IFSC CNRB0006131 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.

The IFSC CNRB0006131 is the link between the digital channel and the branch ledger; once a transaction is confirmed, the credit or debit is reflected in the same core banking system that the branch officers see.

MICR & cheque-truncation details

Common mistakes to avoid when using IFSC CNRB0006131

An incorrect IFSC almost always results in a failed transfer or, worse, a credit to the wrong branch. Before you click Confirm on a transfer to Canara Bank – RAHAMA, double-check for these issues:

• Confusing 0 with O. The fifth character of every IFSC is the digit 0, not the letter O. Read carefully.
• Spaces or hyphens. Do not put spaces in the IFSC. It is exactly 11 characters: CNRB0006131.
• Wrong branch. A bank can have dozens of branches in the same city. Make sure you are using the IFSC for the actual branch where the beneficiary holds the account, not just any nearby branch.
• Old IFSC after a merger. If two banks have merged, the IFSC may have been reissued. Always verify with a recent passbook or cheque leaf.
• Copy-paste from chat. Auto-correct on phones can silently change letters in IFSC codes. Type carefully or copy from a trusted source like the cheque book.
