Merger Update
This branch now uses the IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 under Punjab National Bank. Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) were merged into a single entity under Punjab National Bank. As part of that process, old UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. Only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 is valid for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transactions. Do not use old UBGB/DBGB IFSCs — those will result in failed routing or reversal delays.
What is IFSC Code?
The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to identify bank branches in electronic payments. The structure is:
- First 4 characters — bank identifier (e.g., PUNB = Punjab National Bank).
- 5th character — reserved and is always 0.
- Last 6 characters — branch identifier (for this branch: MBGB06, making the full code PUNB0MBGB06).
How to Use IFSC Code for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS
- Add beneficiary in your bank’s netbanking or mobile app. Provide beneficiary name and account number accurately.
- Enter IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 for Bihar Gramin Bank, SALEMPUR branch. The app may auto-validate the IFSC against the bank database.
- Verify details — confirm the beneficiary name and account number shown by your bank after entering IFSC. A mismatch can cause rejection.
- Choose transfer type — NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. NEFT is for regular transfers (no strict minimum), RTGS is intended for high-value transfers (typically for large amounts), IMPS is instant and available 24×7 for immediate needs.
- Enter amount and confirm. Authenticate using OTP or your bank’s security method.
- Note cut-off times and limits — banks may have batch timings for NEFT and operating windows for RTGS; IMPS is usually immediate. Check your bank’s limits and charges before sending.
- Keep transaction reference — save the UTR or reference number for tracking or dispute resolution.

FAQs
1. How do I confirm the correct IFSC before sending money?
Check the IFSC on the printed passbook, the cheque leaf (if provided), your bank’s official branch list, or the branch itself. For this branch use PUNB0MBGB06.
2. What happens if I enter the wrong IFSC?
If the IFSC points to another valid branch, funds route to that branch and may credit the wrong account if the account number matches. If the IFSC is invalid, the transaction will fail and the money will be returned. Save the transaction reference and contact your bank immediately to trace and recover funds.
3. Are IFSC codes case-sensitive?
No. IFSC codes are not case-sensitive. You can enter them in upper or lower case; the banking system treats them the same.
4. Did the merger change my branch’s IFSC?
Yes. After the merger into Punjab National Bank, the branch now uses PUNB0MBGB06. Old UBGB/DBGB IFSCs were revoked. Use only the new code for transfers.
5. How long do NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transfers take?
IMPS is instant (seconds). NEFT is processed in batches and is generally completed within minutes to a few hours; many banks now offer near-real-time NEFT round the clock. RTGS is meant for high-value transactions and is processed in real time during the bank’s RTGS window. Times can vary by bank and cut-off schedules, so retain the transaction UTR for tracking.
