Merger Update

Note on mergers: Bihar Gramin Bank branches in this region were part of the regional rural bank consolidation under Punjab National Bank. If this branch previously used an Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) or Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) IFSC, those old IFSCs have been revoked. All transactions now use the single IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 under Punjab National Bank. Use only this IFSC for NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS. Transfers made to old UBGB or DBGB IFSCs may fail or be returned.

What is an IFSC Code?

An IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) uniquely identifies a bank branch for electronic payments in India.

  • Structure: The IFSC is 11 characters long.
  • First 4 characters — bank code (letters). Example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank.
  • 5th character — always zero (reserved for future use).
  • Last 6 characters — branch identifier (alphanumeric). Example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06.

Note: The branch numeric code (for internal use) such as 100121 may differ from the IFSC’s last six characters. They serve different purposes.

How to Use the IFSC Code (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS)

  • Step 1 — Add beneficiary: In your bank’s netbanking or mobile app, choose “Add Beneficiary” or “Add Payee.”
  • Step 2 — Enter details: Provide beneficiary name, account number, and the IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Select account type (savings/current).
  • Step 3 — Verify: The bank may validate IFSC automatically. Confirm beneficiary details and save.
  • Step 4 — Initiate transfer: Choose the transfer mode — NEFT, RTGS, or IMPS — and enter amount and purpose. Select the saved beneficiary.
  • Step 5 — Authenticate: Approve using OTP, transaction PIN, or token as required by your bank.
  • Step 6 — Confirmation: Note the transaction reference or UTR for tracking.

Which mode to pick?

  • IMPS — Instant, 24×7. Use for urgent small-to-medium transfers.
  • NEFT — Retail transfers. Available round-the-clock; settlement may be near-instant or in short batches depending on banks.
  • RTGS — For high-value transfers where you need real-time gross settlement. Banks may have specific cut-offs and limits.

Always double-check account number and IFSC before confirming. An incorrect IFSC can route funds to the wrong branch or cause a failure.

Benefits of Knowing the IFSC

  • Ensures funds reach the correct bank branch during NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transfers.
  • Makes adding beneficiaries simple and faster in netbanking and mobile apps.
  • Helps verify branch identity when reconciling bank statements or receiving payments.
  • Required for receiving electronic credits like salary, refunds, and government payments.
  • Reduces the chance of failed transfers and delays when the correct code is used.

A: No. Use the exact IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 assigned to this merged branch. Other old codes have been revoked.

Q: What happens if I enter a wrong IFSC but correct account number?
