Merger Update

Bihar Gramin Bank branches that earlier belonged to Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) or Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) now operate under a single IFSC issued by Punjab National Bank. The unified IFSC for the Umgaun branch is PUNB0MBGB06. Old UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. For all NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transactions use only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06.

What is IFSC Code?

IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to route electronic payments to specific bank branches in India. The structure is fixed:

  • First 4 characters = bank identifier (example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank).
  • 5th character = 0 (reserved for future use).
  • Last 6 characters = branch identifier (alphanumeric). For this branch the last six are MBGB06, making the full IFSC PUNB0MBGB06.

How to Use IFSC Code

  • Open your bank’s internet banking or mobile banking app and go to “Add Beneficiary” or “New Payee.”
  • Enter the beneficiary name, account number and IFSC: PUNB0MBGB06. Double-check spelling and digits.
  • Bank systems usually auto-verify the IFSC and branch once entered. Confirm the branch name shown matches “Umgaun, MADHUBANI.”
  • Complete beneficiary verification (OTP or in-branch activation) as required by your bank.
  • Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. Enter amount and submit. IMPS is instant and available 24×7; NEFT and RTGS are also available round the clock in current practice, but confirm bank cut-offs for any limits or holds.
  • Save or note the transaction reference for any follow-up.

Benefits

  • Accurate routing: IFSC ensures funds go to the exact branch and account.
  • Faster transfers: Correct IFSC prevents rejections and delays.
  • Required for bank transfers: NEFT, RTGS and IMPS typically require IFSC to add payees.
  • Useful for paperwork: IFSC appears on bank forms, receipts and online beneficiary details.
  • Security: Verifying IFSC reduces the risk of sending money to the wrong bank.

FAQs

Q: Is PUNB0MBGB06 the only IFSC I can use for Umgaun branch?
A: Yes. After the merger the valid IFSC for this branch is PUNB0MBGB06. Old UBGB and DBGB IFSCs are revoked and should not be used.

Q: What happens if I enter a wrong IFSC during a transfer?
A: If the wrong IFSC points to a valid branch, funds may go to that branch and could require a recall to recover them. If the IFSC is invalid, the transaction will typically be rejected and funds returned. Always verify IFSC and account number before confirming the transfer.

Q: Can I use this IFSC for IMPS and UPI transfers?
A: IMPS transfers that use account number + IFSC require the correct IFSC. UPI transfers normally use the virtual payment address (VPA) and do not require IFSC. However, when adding a bank account as a beneficiary (not using UPI), IFSC is needed.

Q: What is the difference between IFSC and MICR?
A: IFSC is used for electronic fund routing (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS). MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition), here 800811002, is used mainly for processing paper cheques and clearing by banks.

Q: How can I confirm the IFSC if I am unsure?
A: Confirm by checking a cheque leaf from the account, the bank passbook, or by calling the branch at 9297954900. Use the head office toll-free number 18001807777 for additional confirmation.
