Bank mergers and old IFSC codes
Between 2015 and 2020, 15 banks in the RBI branch list merged into other banks, and their IFSC codes were withdrawn. For each one we show how many of its codes our archive holds, when they actually left the RBI list, and for how many we can name the new code — with the evidence.

31,007 old codes across these mergers; a replacement is named for 15,319. "Gone from list" is the first release, in our archive, that no longer carried most of the bank's codes. Releases are irregular, so the codes left the list some time between that release and the one before it.
The merger date, the day the bank switched the old codes off, and the day they left the RBI list are three different dates. Why an old IFSC code stops working, merger by merger.
