The CIF number on a bank passbook refers to the Customer Information Files which stores any information about the customer's account and personal information that is deemed pertinent. This information can be viewed not just by account type but by relationship with the bank as well.

CIF is Customer Information File. It's a number that is needed in core banking branches to Uniquely identify customers so that the repetition in Customer Bank A/c Number could be handled well. This file contains Customer's KYC information and PAN details as well as creditability. The number in front of the Debit card/ATM Card is going to be different one. It needs to be assigned by the cards division. It will not at all match or relate to the CIF or A/c No. The current pattern of SBI embeds the branch code on Debit card but it is not mandatory.
