Ahh man! SBI simply wasted their .sbi domain which will be useless now.
They had spent crores of rupees securing this gTLD from ICANN and setting up the required DNS infrastructure. I believe they even have a dedicated team for managing the gTLD .sbi 😀 Gayi bheins paani mein

Bhains abhi bhi jameen pe hai and chara kha rahi hai.


 
Who owns bank.in though? RBI?
.bank.in is a Country Specific Top level Domain (ccTLD) [similar to .co.in] which is managed by National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI). The '.bank.in' domains will be registered and managed through the registrar known as Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT).
IDRBT and RBI are closely linked for development of many Banking technologies such as RTGS, IMPS, even UPI
