Merger Update

Important: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) have been consolidated under Punjab National Bank for operational purposes. The consolidated branches now use a single IFSC code: PUNB0MBGB06. Old IFSC codes issued to UBGB or DBGB branches have been revoked. For any NEFT, RTGS, or IMPS transaction, use only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Transactions attempted with old UBGB/DBGB IFSC codes may fail or be rejected.

What is an IFSC Code?

IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character alpha-numeric code that identifies a specific bank branch for electronic transfers. The structure is fixed:

  • First 4 characters — bank code (alphabetic). Example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank.
  • 5th character — always 0 (reserved).
  • Last 6 characters — branch identifier (alphnumeric). Example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06.

How to Use IFSC Code for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS

  • Open your bank’s internet banking mobile app or visit the branch for a manual transfer.
  • Choose the transfer type: NEFT (standard), RTGS (high-value), or IMPS (instant, mobile-enabled).
  • Add a beneficiary: enter beneficiary name, account number, and the IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 exactly as shown.
  • Verify the beneficiary name that appears after entering IFSC and account number. If the name differs significantly, stop and confirm with the beneficiary or branch.
  • Enter the transfer amount and purpose. For RTGS check with your bank for any minimum/charges specific to high-value transfers.
  • Authenticate the transfer using OTP, token, or UPI PIN as required by your bank.
  • Save the beneficiary once verified. Future transfers will be faster and less error-prone.

Benefits of Knowing the IFSC

  • Ensures funds reach the correct bank and exact branch every time.
  • Prevents delays and reversals caused by wrong branch routing.
  • Required to add beneficiaries for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS payments.
  • Helps verify bank details when reconciling payments or invoices.
  • Useful when filling cheque formats, bank forms, and online payment setups.
