Without IFSC UCBA0001420, money simply cannot be routed to the ASHOK MARG LUCKNOW branch electronically.

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 UCBA0001420:
