Merger Update

Note: This record lists the branch under Bihar Gramin Bank. The IFSC for this entry begins with PUNB, which indicates the sponsor bank code for Punjab National Bank. If you have accounts with Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) or Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB), both banks have been merged operationally and their branch transactions now use the single IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 under Punjab National Bank’s IFSC series. Old UBGB/DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. Use only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 for fund transfers; older codes will not work for NEFT/RTGS/IMPS.

What is IFSC Code?

The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an 11-character alphanumeric code. It uniquely identifies a bank branch for electronic payments. The structure is:

  • First 4 characters = bank code (example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank).
  • 5th character = always 0 (reserved for future use).
  • Last 6 characters = branch identifier (example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06).

Example: PUNB0MBGB06 breaks down as PUNB (bank) + 0 + MBGB06 (branch code). Even when a regional rural bank uses a sponsor bank’s prefix, the 11-character IFSC points to the specific branch for routing.

How to Use IFSC Code

Follow these steps when making NEFT, RTGS or IMPS transfers:

  • Open your bank’s internet banking or mobile app and choose the transfer type (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS).
  • Choose “Add Beneficiary” or “New Payee.”
  • Enter beneficiary name exactly as on their account.
  • Enter the beneficiary account number.
  • Enter the IFSC: PUNB0MBGB06 for Bihar Gramin Bank, Tekari branch.
  • Enter amount and purpose. For RTGS, check if your bank requires a minimum amount (many banks treat RTGS for high-value transfers—often around ₹2,00,000—but verify with your bank).
  • Confirm details and authenticate (OTP/password). The bank will validate the IFSC and account combination before sending.

Practical tips:

  • Double-check the IFSC and account number. A single wrong character can delay or block the transfer.
  • NEFT and IMPS are typically available 24×7; RTGS may have different limits—confirm with your bank.
  • When adding a payee, banks often display the beneficiary branch name after validation. Verify that the displayed branch matches “TEKARI, Gaya”.

Benefits of Knowing the IFSC

  • Enables online fund transfers (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS) to the exact branch.
  • Prevents failed or misrouted transactions by ensuring correct routing details.
  • Saves time when adding beneficiaries in internet or mobile banking.
  • Helps customer service identify and trace transactions quickly using IFSC + account number.
  • Useful for filling payment instructions on forms, invoices and government transfers.

FAQs

Q: Can I transfer funds if I only have the account number but not the IFSC?
A: Most banks require the IFSC for NEFT/RTGS/IMPS. Without IFSC, the bank may ask for branch name and validate the beneficiary manually, which can delay the transfer. It’s best to provide the IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 for Tekari branch.

Q: What happens if I use a wrong IFSC?
A: If the IFSC does not match the beneficiary bank and branch, the transfer will usually be rejected or returned to your account. In rare cases where an incorrect IFSC points to another valid account number, funds could be credited incorrectly. Always verify both IFSC and account number before sending money.

Q: Is the MICR code needed for online transfers?
A: No. MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code like 800811002 is used mainly for cheque processing. For NEFT/RTGS/IMPS you need the IFSC and account number.

Q: My old UBGB IFSC was different. Do I need to change anything?
A: If your account belonged to UBGB or DBGB and the bank merged, your old IFSC codes have been revoked. Use the new unified IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 for transactions. Contact your branch if you need help updating standing instructions or beneficiary details.

Q: How can I verify the IFSC before making a large transfer?
A: Verify by calling the branch at 9771464266, checking the bank’s official statement or passbook, or confirming the beneficiary details shown by your bank’s payee validation step. After you add a beneficiary, banks typically show the branch name — confirm it reads “TEKARI, Gaya”.
