What is the MICR Code for State Bank of India in Chennai?

Every State Bank of India branch in Chennai has a 9-digit MICR code structured as follows:

• Digits 1–3 (City Code): All State Bank of India branches in Chennai share the same first 3 digits — the CTS city code assigned by the RBI for the Chennai clearing zone.
• Digits 4–6 (Bank Code): These 3 digits identify State Bank of India within the Chennai clearing zone. All State Bank of India branches in Chennai share this segment.
• Digits 7–9 (Branch Code): The final 3 digits are unique to each branch. This is what differentiates the 272 State Bank of India branches in Chennai from each other.

This means that even if two State Bank of India branches are on the same street in Chennai, they have different MICR codes. Always use the code for the specific branch where your account is held — not just any State Bank of India Chennai branch.

When You Need the State Bank of India Chennai MICR Code

SIP Registrations and Mutual Fund Mandates

When registering a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), the NACH mandate form asks for your bank branch's MICR code. If your account is at a State Bank of India branch in Chennai, find your branch's MICR code above and enter it on the mandate form. The NPCI's NACH platform uses this code to debit your account each month for the SIP instalment. Using an incorrect MICR code causes mandate rejection and delays your SIP setup.

ECS Mandates for Bills and Insurance

ECS (Electronic Clearing Service) auto-debits for electricity, broadband, gas, and insurance premiums require your State Bank of India branch MICR code in Chennai. The ECS mandate form has a specific field for the 9-digit MICR code — not the IFSC. The clearing system uses this to identify your branch and process the recurring debit on the scheduled date.

Loan EMI Collection

Banks and NBFCs serving Chennai collect loan EMIs via NACH mandates. When you take a home loan, personal loan, or vehicle loan, the lender asks for your bank account's MICR code to set up the monthly auto-debit. Enter the MICR code of your specific State Bank of India branch in Chennai — found by clicking your branch in the list above.
