What is the RBI Banks in India directory on esi.in?

An educational map of 363 banks and bank-like entities listed on RBI's public Banks in India page, with links to loans, deposits, and UPI guides.

How is a bank different from an NBFC?

Scheduled banks take deposits under banking law and DICGC cover (where applicable). NBFCs are regulated separately: see our RBI NBFC directory for lenders that are not banks.

Does esi.in recommend any bank?

No. Profiles summarise public RBI list data: not ratings, promotions, or account offers.

How often should I verify a bank's status?

Before opening accounts or taking large loans, confirm the name and category on rbi.org.in: mergers and licence changes happen.
