Explanation

State Bank of India (SBI) is indeed the oldest bank in India still in existence. It traces its origins to the Bank of Calcutta founded in 1806, which later became the Bank of Bengal (1809), then Imperial Bank of India (1921), and finally State Bank of India (1955). None of the other banks listed have such a long continuous history.
