Do not use old codes for fund transfers. Only the new IFSC code is valid for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transactions.
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 fixed:
- First 4 characters: bank identifier (example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank).
- 5th character: always the digit 0 (reserved for future use).
- Last 6 characters: branch identifier. These can be letters and numbers and point to a specific branch (example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06).
How to Use IFSC Code
- Open your bank’s netbanking, mobile app or visit the branch for a transfer.
- Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. Use RTGS for large value urgent transfers. Use IMPS for immediate small-value transfers 24×7.
- Add a beneficiary. Enter the beneficiary name, account number and the IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 for Bihar Gramin Bank, Fatehabad.
- Verify the beneficiary details shown by the system. Confirm that the bank name and branch match Muzaffarpur / Fatehabad.
- Initiate the transfer. For NEFT/RTGS, note the transaction reference. For IMPS you will get an instant confirmation.
- Keep the reference number until the beneficiary confirms receipt. Contact the sending bank if the transfer fails.

FAQs
Q: Can I use the IFSC for international transfers?
A: No. IFSC is used for domestic transfers within India (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS). For inward international transfers you need SWIFT/BIC details of the correspondent bank. Confirm with the sending bank.
Q: Is IFSC case-sensitive?
A: No. IFSC is not case-sensitive. PUNB0MBGB06 and punb0mbgb06 are treated the same. Still, enter it exactly as printed to avoid errors.
Q: What happens if I enter a wrong IFSC but correct account number?
A: Most systems match IFSC to the branch. A wrong IFSC can route the payment to a different branch or fail. This can delay resolution. Always confirm both IFSC and account number before sending money.
Q: How do I verify this IFSC is current?
A: Check with the branch phone number given above or ask the head office toll-free number. The active IFSC for this location is PUNB0MBGB06. Old UBGB/DBGB IFSCs have been revoked after the merger.
Q: What is MICR and when is it needed?
A: MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) is a 9-digit code used mainly for processing cheques. For electronic transfers you need IFSC. Use MICR (here 800811002) when issuing or processing cheques.
