Merger Update

Important: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) were merged into a single entity under Punjab National Bank. All former UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. Transactions for these rural branches now use the single IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 under Punjab National Bank. Use this new IFSC for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS. Old UBGB/DBGB IFSCs are not valid and will cause failed transfers.

What is IFSC Code?

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

  • First 4 characters – bank identifier. Example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank.
  • 5th character – reserved and usually 0 (zero).
  • Last 6 characters – branch identifier. Example: MBGB06 identifies the specific branch.

Example breakdown for this branch: PUNB | 0 | MBGB06 = PUNB0MBGB06 (11 characters).

How to Use IFSC Code

Steps for NEFT, RTGS or IMPS transfer from netbanking or mobile banking:

  • Log in to your bank’s netbanking or mobile app.
  • Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. (RTGS is for larger amounts—check your bank’s minimum, often ₹2,00,000.)
  • Add a new beneficiary. Enter beneficiary name and account number exactly as provided by the recipient.
  • Enter the bank name as Punjab National Bank and the IFSC: PUNB0MBGB06.
  • Enter the amount and any required remarks.
  • Confirm details and authenticate with OTP or token.
  • Save the beneficiary (if required). Transfers may take a few minutes to a few hours depending on the service and cut-off times.
