Branch details at a glance

Sakhigopal branch overview

Located at DIST PURI, ORISSA 752 014, the Sakhigopal branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable. The IFSC SBIN0002118 is required for all interbank electronic transfers routed through this branch.

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 SAKHIGOPAL of State Bank of India — its own 11-character IFSC. The code SBIN0002118 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 SBIN0002118 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 SBIN0002118

NEFT to State Bank of India, SAKHIGOPAL using IFSC SBIN0002118

To send funds, add the recipient as a beneficiary in your bank's online portal, key in the account number, paste the IFSC SBIN0002118, and confirm that the system picks up State Bank of India – SAKHIGOPAL. Submit the transfer request, authenticate with OTP, and the amount will reach the beneficiary in the next clearing cycle.

Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Sakhigopal

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 SBIN0002118:

• 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 SAKHIGOPAL is still linked to IFSC SBIN0002118.

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

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC. For accounts at State Bank of India's SAKHIGOPAL branch, the IFSC SBIN0002118 is what the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) uses to route the credit when you tap Pay on a UPI app.

That is why, even in the UPI era, it is still worth knowing the IFSC of your home branch — for failed UPI mandates, e-mandate set-ups, third-party platform onboarding and salary or refund credits.
