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.

UPI payments and IFSC PUNB0237600

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India.
