A couple of years back, SBI branches used to have an official lunch time or lunch break.
SBI Lunch Time:
Lunch time of SBI is from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m as it is a public-sector bank. SBI banks started implementing no lunch break policy but then the government released a letter according to which every public-sector bank should have a lunch break. But don’t worry, the lunch time is fixed in all the branches across India.
The employees of SBI go to lunch in batches in rotation so uninterrupted service is provided. But they do go for lunch. (As it’s a basic need.)
For branches that have adequate staff, they make sure that the counter is open for all business hours and service is not hindered due to lunch hours.
At some SBI bank branches, even if the staff is limited, they make sure that the services are not hindered and counter is open all the time for customers.
Does SBI close at lunch?
No, SBI does not close at lunch.
You don’t need to worry about the services, services will be provided to you irrespective if there is any lunch recess or not.

Avoid going to the bank during SBI lunch time. This is the only way to avoid waste of time.
But, just in case, you might want to go to the bank in the morning to avoid getting caught up in the lunch hours of the bank.
Of course, there are many memes surfacing the internet regarding SBI not giving proper services during the lunch time, but from what I can see, they make every attempt to provide full and quality service to public.

Irrespective of lunch hours, you’ll be given full services in the business hours of the branch.
