The role of IFSC in India's payments network
India's electronic payment infrastructure — NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI and the National Automated Clearing House (NACH) — is built on a single principle: every participating bank branch must be uniquely identifiable by an alphanumeric code.

Without IFSC CNRB0005003, money simply cannot be routed to the UTTARPARA KOTRUNG branch electronically.
MICR code & cheque clearing
Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Canara Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines.
