Indian largest lender, State bank of India has changed names and Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) codes of around 1,300 branches, soon after merged five of its branches into itself. These branches are located in major cities such as in New Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Lucknow. The managing director (retail and digital banking) of State Bank of India, Praveen Gupta said, “Some of our old associate branches are now getting merged with branches of SBI. When this merger happens, the IFSC codes get changed”. The customers have been informed about the change in IFSC codes, but also the bank has internally mapped them to the new codes. Even if some payment comes based on the old IFSC codes, it will get mapped to the new codes. It will not cause any problem to any customer, Gupta added.

An 11-digit alpha-numeric code which is used to uniquely identify all bank branches participating in any Reserve Bank of India for the regulated funds’ transfer system, is known as IFSC. It is necessary to use IFSC code to transfer the money from one account to another using RTGS, NEFT or IMPS methods.
