Branch details at a glance

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 SEELAYAMPATTI of Central Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code CBIN0282228 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 CBIN0282228 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by Central Bank of India carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC CBIN0282228 and the account number together uniquely identify the Seelayampatti branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Seelayampatti

The right transfer rail depends on how urgent the payment is, how large it is, and whether the receiving bank participates in the chosen scheme. Every option below works with the IFSC CBIN0282228:

• NEFT — best for everyday transfers of any amount; settles in half-hourly batches around the clock.
• RTGS — best for transfers of ₹2 lakh and above; settles each transaction individually in real time.

• UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at SEELAYAMPATTI is still linked to IFSC CBIN0282228.

For salary credits, vendor payouts and refunds, employers and merchants usually default to NEFT because of its zero per-transaction cost for retail customers and its 24x7 availability.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code
