We all name sbi is the first bank of india earlier named as state bank of hindustan.
The government bank with all facilities.
The major benefit of this bank is the netbanking facilities of sbi is used all over india. Secondly if u wanna a fill any government of private form sbi is the option which is always present in the given options.
But as compared to other private bank. The rate of interest is comparitively very low.
The net banking lags many a times.
Currently charges after number of tionsactions and other charges they left behind many private banks. Currentlt SBI is more costlier than any other private bank. I would prefer if u want to open an account just for the sake of government bank go for it.
But in order to attain benefits go with private banks bcz charges and maintenance is almost the same.
