what is ifsc code of sbi
For SBI, there isn’t one single universal IFSC code – every branch of State Bank of India has its own unique 11‑character IFSC code used for online transfers like NEFT/RTGS/IMPS.
Quick Scoop: What is IFSC code of SBI?
- IFSC full form : Indian Financial System Code.
- Length & format (for SBI):
- 11 characters in total.
* First 4 letters: **SBIN** – this identifies State Bank of India.
* 5th character: usually **0** – reserved for future use.
* Last 6 characters: the **branch code** , which is different for every branch.
So an SBI IFSC code looks like this pattern:
SBIN0XXXXXX (X = digits/letters that specify your branch)
Example SBI IFSC codes
These are just examples for specific branches (not for all SBI accounts):
- New Delhi branch at Himalaya House, KG Marg: SBIN0005943.
- IFB New Delhi branch: SBIN0009601.
Your own IFSC code will be different unless your account is in that same exact branch.
