Merger update

Important: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) were merged into Punjab National Bank for operational and payment routing purposes. After the merger both banks now use the single IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 under Punjab National Bank. Old UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. For transfers to branches formerly under UBGB/DBGB you must use PUNB0MBGB06; transactions with old IFSC codes will not complete.

What is IFSC Code?

The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an 11-character alphanumeric code that identifies a bank branch in electronic payment systems.

  • First 4 characters = bank identifier (example: PUNB for Punjab National Bank).
  • 5th character = reserved and is always 0 (zero).
  • Last 6 characters = branch identifier (alphanumeric). Example: in PUNB0MBGB06 the last six characters MBGB06 identify the specific branch.

How to use IFSC Code for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS

  • Step 1: Collect beneficiary details — name, account number, and IFSC (use PUNB0MBGB06 for Harnathpur).
  • Step 2: Log in to your bank’s netbanking, mobile app, or visit a branch.
  • Step 3: Select transfer type — NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. (IMPS is instant 24×7, NEFT is suitable for routine transfers, RTGS for high-value transfers.)
  • Step 4: Add or choose the beneficiary. Enter account number exactly and paste/type the IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Select account type (savings/current).
  • Step 5: Banks often require beneficiary verification. Complete any OTP or validation step.
  • Step 6: Initiate transfer and note the transaction reference/UTR. Keep it until the beneficiary confirms receipt.
  • Example: Beneficiary A/c 123456789012, IFSC PUNB0MBGB06, Bank: Punjab National Bank (Bihar Gramin Bank branch routing). Enter these exactly to avoid misrouting.

Benefits of knowing the IFSC

  • Keeps electronic transfers accurate and quick.
  • Prevents failed transfers and avoids return charges.
  • Allows you to add beneficiaries in netbanking/mobile apps without visiting a branch.
  • Needed for payroll, vendor payments and recurring payments.
  • Helps customer service identify the exact branch for queries and refunds.
