Q: What is IFSC code SBIN0010640 and which branch does it identify?

IFSC code SBIN0010640 is the 11-character alphanumeric code assigned by the Reserve Bank of India to the Central Soiland Water Conservation Reserch And Trg Inst Dehradun branch of State Bank of India in New Delhi, Uttarakhand. The first four characters (SBIN) identify the bank across the entire RBI NEFT network, the fifth character is always zero (0), and the last six characters (010640) identify this specific branch. No other branch in India shares this exact 11-character combination. Use SBIN0010640 for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS transfers and to link this account to UPI apps like PhonePe, Google Pay, and BHIM.

Q: How do I use IFSC SBIN0010640 to link my State Bank of India account to UPI?

To link your State Bank of India Central Soiland Water Conservation Reserch And Trg Inst Dehradun account to UPI, open any UPI app — PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, or BHIM — and select "Add bank account". Choose State Bank of India from the bank list. The app will auto-detect your registered mobile number and retrieve your account. During verification, the app validates your account against IFSC SBIN0010640 in the background — you do not need to enter the code manually. Once linked, your UPI VPA (such as yourname@statebankofindia) is used for daily payments. The IFSC is only needed during this initial account registration step, not for individual UPI transactions.

Q: What is the NEFT settlement time using IFSC SBIN0010640? Is RTGS faster?

NEFT transfers to Central Soiland Water Conservation Reserch And Trg Inst Dehradun using IFSC SBIN0010640 settle in half-hourly batches — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including public holidays. A transfer sent at 2:10 PM is batched at 2:30 PM and credited shortly after. There is no minimum or maximum amount for NEFT. RTGS is faster but has a ₹2 lakh minimum. RTGS settles in real time during RBI operating hours (7:00 AM to 6:00 PM on working days). For transfers below ₹2 lakh that need to arrive instantly — including on weekends and bank holidays — use IMPS with IFSC SBIN0010640, which settles within seconds, 24×7, year-round.

Q: How long is the beneficiary cooling period when I add IFSC SBIN0010640 to net banking?

When you add a new beneficiary using IFSC SBIN0010640 in net banking or mobile banking, most banks enforce a cooling period of 30 minutes to 24 hours before the first transfer is permitted. During this window, the bank sends a confirmation OTP or push notification and blocks outgoing transfers to the new beneficiary. This is a fraud-prevention measure. After the cooling period, per-transaction and per-day limits apply based on your bank's policy and your account type. If you need to transfer money urgently to a State Bank of India Central Soiland Water Conservation Reserch And Trg Inst Dehradun account, add the beneficiary at least one business day in advance. UPI payments bypass beneficiary cooling periods entirely — they can be initiated to a new UPI ID without any wait.

Q: Has State Bank of India's IFSC code changed due to a bank merger? Is SBIN0010640 still active?

Bank mergers in India can deactivate IFSC codes. When the RBI merges two banks, it typically issues new IFSC codes for the surviving entity's branches and deactivates old codes from the absorbed bank — sometimes immediately, sometimes on a scheduled date. If State Bank of India was involved in a merger, branches of the absorbed bank received new IFSC codes under the surviving bank's code prefix. IFSC SBIN0010640 is listed as active in our database as of Jun 2026. However, before initiating a large RTGS or NEFT transfer, we recommend verifying on the RBI's official IFSC lookup to confirm the code remains valid.

Q: Why does the 5th character of IFSC SBIN0010640 have to be zero (0) and not the letter O?

The 5th character of every IFSC code — including SBIN0010640 — is always the digit zero (0), not the letter O. The RBI mandated this design: position 5 is permanently reserved for future use and is always set to the numeral 0. In many printed fonts and small screens, the digit 0 and the letter O look nearly identical, but they are entirely different ASCII characters. If you type the letter O instead of 0, the payment system will reject the transfer immediately with an "invalid IFSC" error — no transfer will be processed and no money will leave your account. If a transfer to this branch fails IFSC validation, check position 5 of the code first: it must be the digit 0.
