Branch details at a glance

Pune Regional Office branch overview

Located at 2ND FLOOR, KALYAN ENTRPRISES, 975,811 & 812, SATRANJIWALA CHOWK, RAVIVAR PETH, LAXMI ROADDIST-PUNE,MAHARASHTRA-411002, the Pune Regional Office branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable.

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 PUNE REGIONAL OFFICE of Central Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CBIN0281149 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 CBIN0281149 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

• Spaces or hyphens. Do not put spaces in the IFSC. It is exactly 11 characters: CBIN0281149.
• Wrong branch. A bank can have dozens of branches in the same city. Make sure you are using the IFSC for the actual branch where the beneficiary holds the account, not just any nearby branch.
• Old IFSC after a merger. If two banks have merged, the IFSC may have been reissued. Always verify with a recent passbook or cheque leaf.
• Copy-paste from chat. Auto-correct on phones can silently change letters in IFSC codes. Type carefully or copy from a trusted source like the cheque book.
