About this branch

The branch is located at KORANGA HALL, NEAR POLICE STATION,VILL AND PO-BARHAINI, DIST UDHAM SINGH NAGAR, UTTARAKHAND. It serves the Barhaini region and is connected to the bank's core banking platform, which means transactions initiated here are instantly visible across all other branches of State Bank of India.

Why every State 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 BARHAINI of State Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code SBIN0061261 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 SBIN0061261 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

UPI payments and IFSC SBIN0061261

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 State Bank of India – BARHAINI is still mapped to IFSC SBIN0061261. When a customer links a savings or current account to a UPI app for the first time, the app silently looks up this IFSC against the account number to verify the account exists. The VPA acts as a friendly alias on top of the same plumbing.

If a UPI transfer to or from this branch fails, the most common reasons are an inactive UPI handle, a daily limit breach or a temporary outage at one of the participating banks — not the IFSC. You can always fall back to NEFT or IMPS using the IFSC SBIN0061261 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
