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 Punjab National Bank's BUDHANA, DISTT. MUZAFFARNAGAR branch came to be assigned the code PUNB0056600.

Without IFSC PUNB0056600, money simply cannot be routed to the BUDHANA, DISTT. MUZAFFARNAGAR branch electronically.

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Punjab National Bank carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines.
