Where this data comes from
Branch names, addresses and IFSC codes are taken from the Reserve Bank of India's list of NEFT-enabled branches, snapshot of 2026-08-21. The RBI compiles it from the participating banks themselves, so spellings follow the banks' own records. We normalise state names and city spellings, merge duplicate names for the same city, and exclude administrative entries such as RTGS head offices and service branches from branch counts. Nothing is added to the data. Found something wrong? Write to [email protected].
