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. The Reserve Bank of India introduced the IFSC system to fulfil this requirement, and that is how Canara Bank's VISAKHA DAIRY EXTENSION COUNTER branch came to be assigned the code CNRB0008601.

Without IFSC CNRB0008601, money simply cannot be routed to the VISAKHA DAIRY EXTENSION COUNTER branch electronically.

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. The MICR code, the IFSC CNRB0008601 and the account number together uniquely identify the Visakha Dairy Extension Counter branch and your account.
