About the Birasal branch

The Birasal branch of State Bank of India is situated at RAJIV GANDHI SEVA KENDRA ATPOBIRASAL DISTTDHENKANAL ODISHA759039. Customers visiting this branch can complete cash deposits, withdrawals, demand draft requests, cheque clearing, passbook updates and KYC formalities.

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 BIRASAL of State Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code SBIN0017956 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 SBIN0017956 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How to transfer money using IFSC SBIN0017956

Online transfers in India are powered by three major channels — NEFT, RTGS and IMPS — and each one requires a destination IFSC. Below is a quick guide for using IFSC SBIN0017956 across all three.

NEFT to State Bank of India, BIRASAL using IFSC SBIN0017956

National Electronic Funds Transfer is the simplest way to move money into an account at this branch. NEFT works around the clock, including Sundays and public holidays, and settles in half-hourly batches.

To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC SBIN0017956, and confirm that the system picks up State Bank of India – BIRASAL. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

Real-Time Gross Settlement to BIRASAL

If you need to transfer ₹2 lakh or more in one go to an account at State Bank of India's BIRASAL branch, RTGS is the right channel. Each transaction is settled individually in real time. Use IFSC SBIN0017956 while initiating the transfer and the credit will appear within minutes.

IMPS to State Bank of India BIRASAL (IFSC SBIN0017956)

IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) offers instant, 24x7 fund transfers up to ₹5 lakh per transaction. Provide the beneficiary's account number along with IFSC SBIN0017956 in your mobile or internet banking app, and the money is credited to the BIRASAL branch account within seconds.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Birasal

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 SBIN0017956:

• 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.
• IMPS — best when speed matters more than batch scheduling; instant credit up to ₹5 lakh.
• UPI — best for small peer-to-peer payments using a VPA; the underlying account at BIRASAL is still linked to IFSC SBIN0017956.

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.

UPI payments and IFSC SBIN0017956

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 – BIRASAL is still mapped to IFSC SBIN0017956. 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 SBIN0017956 and the beneficiary's account number to complete the transfer.
