Merger Update
Important: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) were consolidated and now operate under a single setup managed by Punjab National Bank for IFSC purposes. The Tetarhat branch uses the single IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 for all NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transactions. Old IFSC codes that belonged to UBGB or DBGB have been revoked. Only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 is valid for fund transfers to this branch. Always confirm the IFSC before initiating a transfer.
What is IFSC Code?
The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an 11-character code used to route electronic payments. It follows a fixed structure:
- First 4 characters — bank identifier (alphabetic). Example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank.
- 5th character — reserved and is always 0 (zero).
- Last 6 characters — branch identifier (alphanumeric). Example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06.
Note: The numeric Branch Code (3114) shown in branch records is an internal code. It does not have to match the last six characters of the IFSC, which can be alphanumeric.
How to Use IFSC Code
Follow these steps when sending money to Bihar Gramin Bank, Tetarhat:
- Open your bank’s netbanking portal or mobile app, or visit the branch.
- Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. Use RTGS for large-value transfers (typically for amounts ≥ ₹2,00,000). IMPS is instant and available 24×7; NEFT is commonly used and now runs round-the-clock.
- Add a new beneficiary. Enter beneficiary name exactly as per bank records, account number, and IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Enter the branch (Tetarhat) only if asked for branch details.
- Verify beneficiary details returned by the system before confirming. If the app shows the beneficiary bank and branch name, match them with Tetarhat, Lakhisarai.
- Initiate the transfer. For first-time beneficiaries, many banks require beneficiary activation which can take a few minutes to a few hours.
- Keep the transaction reference or UTR. Use it to track or to raise queries if a transfer is delayed or fails.
