IFSC code, or Indian Financial System Code, is an 11-digit alphanumeric code given by the Reserve Bank of India to every bank branch to distinguish them. This makes the transactional process error-free and more accessible as each bank branch has its own unique identity. The IFSC code plays a vital role when making an electronic payment such as IMPS, NEFT or RTGS. Before doing a transaction, it is essential to check if the IFSC code is correct.

The SBI IFSC code comprises 11-digits; the first four letters ‘SBIN’ stands for the bank's name, i.e. State Bank of India. The next character, ‘0’, is for future reference, while the remaining six letters represent the specific branch code of the bank.

The 11-digit alphanumeric code can be divided into three parts. SBI IFSC code has the following structure:

  • The first four letters of the IFSC code determine the bank name
  • The fifth digit is a ‘0.’
  • The last six characters of the IFSC code determine the branch of the bank making the transaction.

For instance, the IFSC code of the State Bank of India branch in Huda Market, Sector 31, Gurgaon, is SBIN0032633. Here, ‘SBIN’ denotes the State Bank of India, and ‘032633’ denotes the branch code, Huda Market, Sector 31, Gurgaon.
