Merger Update

Bihar Gramin Bank is a Regional Rural Bank (RRB) sponsored by Punjab National Bank (PNB). It was formed from the merger of Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB). This means that if you previously used an IFSC code for UBGB or DBGB, those old codes are no longer valid.

For all transactions with Bihar Gramin Bank branches, including the Mubarakpur branch, you must now use the new, consolidated IFSC code. The correct and only valid IFSC code for the Mubarakpur branch is PUNB0MBGB06. Always use this new code to prevent any issues with your fund transfers.

What is IFSC Code?

The IFSC, or Indian Financial System Code, is an 11-character alphanumeric code. It’s assigned by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to identify each bank branch uniquely. Think of it like a digital address for a specific bank branch.

The code follows a specific pattern:

  • The first four characters represent the bank name. For Bihar Gramin Bank, sponsored by PNB, this starts with ‘PUNB’.
  • The fifth character is always a zero (0). This character is reserved for future use and helps maintain the standard length of the code.
  • The last six characters identify the specific branch. For the Mubarakpur branch, these are ‘MBGB06’.

This structure helps automate and secure electronic fund transfers across different banks and their branches throughout India.

How to Use IFSC Code

You will need the IFSC code when you initiate electronic fund transfers. Here’s how it’s used in common scenarios:

For NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer)

  1. Log in to your bank’s internet banking portal or mobile app.
  2. Go to the ‘Fund Transfer’ or ‘Payments’ section.
  3. Select ‘NEFT’ as the transfer type.
  4. Add the beneficiary (the person you are sending money to). You will need their name, account number, and the IFSC code of their bank’s branch (in this case, PUNB0MBGB06 for Bihar Gramin Bank, Mubarakpur).
  5. Enter the amount you wish to transfer and confirm the details.

For RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement)

RTGS is designed for large-value transactions, where funds are settled individually and continuously, in ‘real time’.

  1. Access your online banking platform or visit your bank branch.
  2. Choose ‘RTGS’ for your transfer type.
  3. Provide the beneficiary’s details, including their name, account number, and the specific IFSC code (PUNB0MBGB06).
  4. Input the transfer amount. Remember, RTGS usually has a minimum transaction limit.
  5. Review and authorize the transaction.

For IMPS (Immediate Payment Service)
