Merger Update

Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) were merged into a single entity under Punjab National Bank’s sponsorship. All former UBGB and DBGB branch IFSC codes have been revoked. The unified IFSC to use for this branch is PUNB0MBGB06. Only this new IFSC is valid for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transactions. If you have an old UBGB or DBGB IFSC saved, update it before sending money.

What is IFSC Code?

IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character code used to uniquely identify a bank branch for electronic transfers. The structure:

  • First 4 characters: alphabetic bank code (example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank)
  • 5th character: the digit 0 (reserved)
  • Last 6 characters: alphanumeric branch identifier (example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06)

Note: Banks may also maintain a numeric branch code (for example, 100796). That numeric code is separate from the IFSC’s last six characters and is used for internal and some reporting purposes.

How to Use IFSC Code

  • Collect beneficiary details: account name, account number, bank name and branch, and the IFSC (use PUNB0MBGB06 for Bihariganj).
  • Open your bank’s netbanking portal, mobile banking app, or payment app.
  • Choose transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. (NEFT works for most amounts; RTGS is for high-value transfers; IMPS is instant and available 24×7 within bank-set limits.)
  • Enter beneficiary details precisely. Paste or type IFSC exactly; one wrong character can route or block the transfer.
  • Confirm details shown by your bank. The receiving bank and branch name should match Bihariganj, Madhepura.
  • Authorize the transaction with OTP or security token. Save the transaction reference for tracking.
  • Check cut-off times for NEFT/RTGS from your bank if timing matters. IMPS is immediate any time but subject to daily limits set by the bank.

Benefits of Knowing the IFSC

  • Ensures accurate routing of electronic transfers (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS).
  • Reduces failed transactions and delays caused by wrong branch identification.
  • Needed to add beneficiaries in internet and mobile banking systems.
  • Helps reconcile incoming funds by matching branch codes and MICR details.
  • Essential when filling electronic or paper forms for fund transfers and for bulk payments.
