Current · Source: Reserve Bank of India · RBI/2010-11/260 · issued 03 Nov 2010 · ~1 min read
Quick answerRBI has excluded State Bank of Indore from the Second Schedule of the RBI Act, 1934, effective August 26, 2010, as it ceased banking operations. This removes its scheduled bank status.
The rule, in the simplest words
State Bank of Indore is no longer a scheduled bank.
This is because it stopped carrying on banking business on August 26, 2010.
As a result, it lost access to RBI's liquidity facilities and no longer has to report to RBI.
How it plays out — a real example
A branch operations officer in Indore would no longer need to report to RBI about their transactions with State Bank of Indore, as it is no longer a scheduled bank. This change is routine and doesn't affect their daily work, but it's an important update to keep in mind. The officer will continue to work with other scheduled banks as usual.
What changed

The exclusion took effect from August 26, 2010, because the bank stopped carrying on banking business. The notification was published in the Gazette of India between September 25 and October 1, 2010.
