Merger Update
Note: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) have been merged under Punjab National Bank’s sponsor arrangement. Both banks now use the single IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 for electronic transfers. Old UBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. For NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transfers, use only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Transactions attempted with revoked IFSC codes may fail or be delayed.
What is IFSC Code?
The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an 11-character alphanumeric code. It tells payment systems which bank and branch will receive the funds. The structure is:
- First 4 characters = bank identifier (example: PUNB for Punjab National Bank).
- 5th character = reserved and is usually 0.
- Last 6 characters = branch identifier (example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06).
So for this branch: PUNB = bank code, 0 = reserved, MBGB06 = branch code within the bank.
How to Use IFSC Code (NEFT / RTGS / IMPS)
- Get the beneficiary details: account number, name, bank name, branch name and IFSC (here: PUNB0MBGB06).
- Log in to your bank’s netbanking, mobile app or visit a branch.
- Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. (IMPS is instant; NEFT and RTGS depend on bank processing rules.)
- Add or select the beneficiary. Enter the account number and exactly the IFSC code. Verify spelling and characters.
- Enter amount and purpose. For NEFT/RTGS, choose the service option shown by your bank. For IMPS use the immediate transfer option.
- Confirm details and authorize the transfer with OTP or token.
- Keep the transaction reference or confirmation for tracking. If a transfer fails, contact your bank with the reference number.
Tip: Always confirm the IFSC and account number with the beneficiary before sending substantial amounts. Check with your bank for cut-off times and any amount limits applicable to RTGS or IMPS.

- Required field for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transfers.
