About Central Bank of India

Central Bank of India operates a wide network of branches across India, including the Baraut branch in Baraut. Each branch is enabled for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and core banking, allowing customers to send and receive money anywhere in the country using a unique IFSC – in this case, CBIN0280256.

Baraut branch overview

Located at PARVINDAR PURAM, CANAL ROAD, BARAUT 250611., the Baraut branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC CBIN0280256 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

Why every Central Bank of India branch has a unique IFSC

Before electronic settlement systems went live in India, money transfers between banks relied heavily on demand drafts, mail transfers and telegraphic transfers. These older instruments routinely took days to clear and were prone to misrouting because there was no single machine-readable identifier for a branch. The Reserve Bank of India solved this by issuing each participating branch — including BARAUT of Central Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CBIN0280256 is therefore not just an internal reference; it is the digital postcode that lets the RBI's NEFT, RTGS and IMPS rails route funds straight to the right branch ledger without any human intervention.

Today, almost every salary credit, vendor payment, refund and EMI deduction in the country flows through this network, which is exactly why a correct IFSC matters so much. A wrong character can either bounce the transfer or send it to the wrong branch, and reversing such a credit is a manual, time-consuming process. Treat IFSC CBIN0280256 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

NEFT vs RTGS vs IMPS — which one should you use?

UPI payments and IFSC CBIN0280256

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India. While most UPI transactions are addressed using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) like name@bank, the underlying account at Central Bank of India – BARAUT is still mapped to IFSC CBIN0280256.
