Why every City Union Bank Limited 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 MADURAVAYAL of City Union Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CIUB0000246 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 CIUB0000246 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.
MICR code & cheque clearing
Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by City Union Bank Limited carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC CIUB0000246 and the account number together uniquely identify the Maduravayal branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.
How to transfer money using IFSC CIUB0000246
Online transfers in India are powered by three major channels — NEFT, RTGS and IMPS — and each one requires a destination IFSC. Below is a quick guide for using IFSC CIUB0000246 across all three.
NEFT to City Union Bank Limited, MADURAVAYAL using IFSC CIUB0000246
National Electronic Funds Transfer is the simplest way to move money into an account at this branch. NEFT works around the clock, including Sundays and public holidays, and settles in half-hourly batches.
To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC CIUB0000246, and confirm that the system picks up City Union Bank Limited – MADURAVAYAL. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.
RTGS transfers via IFSC CIUB0000246
RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) is the fastest high-value transfer mechanism in India. It is meant for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above and settles each transaction individually and instantly. To remit through RTGS to City Union Bank Limited – MADURAVAYAL, ensure your bank's portal accepts IFSC CIUB0000246 while registering the beneficiary. RTGS is also available 24x7.
Send money instantly through IMPS
For a real-time, anytime transfer to City Union Bank Limited – MADURAVAYAL, use IMPS. With IFSC CIUB0000246 and the beneficiary's account number you can move up to ₹5 lakh per transaction with instant credit, any day of the year.
Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Maduravayal
The right transfer rail depends on how urgent the payment is, how large it is, and whether the receiving bank participates in the chosen scheme. Every option below works with the IFSC CIUB0000246:
- NEFT — best for everyday transfers of any amount; settles in half-hourly batches around the clock.
- RTGS — best for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above; settles each transaction individually in real time.
- IMPS — best when speed matters more than batch scheduling; instant credit up to ₹5 lakh.
- UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at MADURAVAYAL is still linked to IFSC CIUB0000246.
For salary credits, vendor payouts and refunds, employers and merchants usually default to NEFT because of its zero per-transaction cost for retail customers and its 24x7 availability.
How UPI relates to the IFSC code
UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC. For accounts at City Union Bank Limited's MADURAVAYAL branch, the IFSC CIUB0000246 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.
That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.
