Correct answer
Explanation
Bank of India was the first Indian bank to open a branch outside India, establishing its international branch in London in 1946. This was a significant milestone in Indian banking history, occurring before the country's independence and demonstrating early international ambitions. State Bank of India (SBI) expanded internationally later, while RBI is India's central bank and doesn't operate commercial branches abroad.
