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 PUNB0479600, money simply cannot be routed to the DARINGIBADI branch electronically.
