FAQs
Q: Can I use the old UBGB or DBGB IFSC for transfers?
A: No. Old UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes are revoked. Use only the current IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 for transfers to this branch.
Q: Where can I find the IFSC on my cheque leaf?
A: The IFSC is usually printed on the cheque leaf near the MICR band or at the top of the cheque. If not present, confirm with the branch before transferring funds.
Q: What happens if I enter a wrong IFSC but correct account number?
A: If the IFSC points to a different branch but the account number exists there, the funds may be routed and credited incorrectly. If no match exists, the transfer will usually fail and be returned. Contact your bank immediately to trace and reverse a misrouted transaction.
Q: Is IFSC case-sensitive?
A: No. IFSC is not case-sensitive, but banks and forms usually use uppercase for clarity. Enter it exactly as provided to avoid input errors.
Q: Do I need IFSC for UPI payments?
A: For UPI peer-to-peer using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) you do not enter an IFSC. For bank-account-based setups or when adding a beneficiary for IMPS/NEFT/RTGS, IFSC is required.
