Merger Update

Background: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) were merged into a single entity now operating under the name Bihar Gramin Bank in association with Punjab National Bank for banking operations.

IFSC change: All old UBGB/DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. The consolidated and valid IFSC for this branch is PUNB0MBGB06. Use only this IFSC for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transactions to this branch. Transactions initiated with old UBGB/DBGB IFSCs may not be processed.

What is an IFSC Code?

The IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is an 11-character code used for electronic fund transfers in India.

  • First 4 characters — bank identifier. Example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank.
  • 5th character — reserved and is always 0 (zero).
  • Last 6 characters — branch identifier. Example: MBGB06 identifies this specific branch code within the bank.

So for PUNB0MBGB06 the breakup is: PUNB | 0 | MBGB06.

How to Use the IFSC Code (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS)

  • Open your bank’s netbanking app or mobile banking.
  • Choose fund transfer and add a new beneficiary.
  • Enter beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC: PUNB0MBGB06.
  • Verify branch details shown by the app (bank name = Bihar Gramin Bank / Punjab National Bank routing).
  • Select transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. IMPS and NEFT work 24×7 at many banks; RTGS is used for larger value transfers as per bank policy.
  • Enter amount and confirm with OTP or transaction password.
  • After successful transfer, note the UTR reference. Use it to track the transfer if needed.

Tip: Always confirm the beneficiary account number and IFSC together. A correct IFSC with a wrong account number can still fail or route to a different account.

Benefits of Knowing the IFSC

  • Ensures funds are routed to the exact branch and account.
  • Prevents delays and failed transactions due to wrong routing.
  • Required for online forms, salary credits, vendor payments and government transfers.
  • Enables quick verification of branch details during beneficiary addition.
  • Helps customer support locate transactions using bank and branch identifiers.
