Some of the e-ABs include the State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Bikaner, State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Raipur, State Bank of Travancore, and State Bank of Patiala. SBI had previously changed the names and IFSC codes of around 1300 of its branches.

Clients of the banks mentioned above, as well as those of BMB, were previously advised to apply for chequebooks with a new IFS code before 30 September 2017, which got extended to 31 December 2017. However, your latest deadline to apply for new, valid chequebooks is 31st March 2018.

In case you don’t have the time to visit the home branch of SBI, it has made your work easy. You can apply for the chequebooks via internet banking or mobile banking. You can also visit your nearest SBI ATM to do so.
