What is the IFSC Code for State Bank of India in Kolkata?

Every State Bank of India branch in Kolkata has an 11-character IFSC code structured as follows:

• Characters 1–4 (Bank Code): All State Bank of India branches — in Kolkata and across India — share the same 4-letter bank code prefix assigned by the RBI. This uniquely identifies State Bank of India within the entire NEFT/RTGS network.
• Character 5 (Reserved Zero): Always the digit 0, never the letter O. Reserved by the RBI for future use. All 280 State Bank of India Kolkata branches share this character.
• Characters 6–11 (Branch Code): These 6 alphanumeric characters are unique to each branch. This is what differentiates the 280 State Bank of India branches in Kolkata from each other. Even two branches on the same street will have different branch codes.

This means you can quickly validate any State Bank of India IFSC code by checking that the first 4 characters match the bank's code and the 5th character is 0. If either check fails, the code is invalid.

When You Need the State Bank of India Kolkata IFSC Code

Sending NEFT or RTGS Transfers to State Bank of India Accounts in Kolkata

When someone needs to transfer money to your State Bank of India account in Kolkata via NEFT or RTGS, they need your account number and your branch's IFSC code. NEFT settles in half-hourly batches (available 24×7), while RTGS settles in real time for amounts above ₹2 lakh. Both are operated by the RBI and require the exact 11-character IFSC code of your specific State Bank of India branch in Kolkata. A single wrong character causes the transfer to fail.

IMPS Transfers to Kolkata Branches

IMPS, operated by NPCI, enables instant 24×7 transfers to State Bank of India accounts in Kolkata — including weekends and public holidays. Transfers using IFSC + account number are the most common method for IMPS. The IFSC code of the receiving State Bank of India branch in Kolkata is required to route the payment correctly.

UPI Account Registration

When you add your State Bank of India Kolkata account to a UPI app — PhonePe, Google Pay, BHIM, Paytm — the app requires your IFSC code to validate and link your bank account. Once your account is linked, daily UPI transactions use your VPA and you don't need to re-enter the IFSC.

Net Banking Beneficiary Registration

Adding a State Bank of India Kolkata branch account as a beneficiary in any bank's net banking portal requires the account number and IFSC code of the specific branch. Most banks impose a 30-minute to 24-hour cooling period for new beneficiaries before allowing large transfers.
