Merger Update
The Jokihat branch is part of the MbGB network that merged into Punjab National Bank. After the merger, all UBGB and DBGB accounts use the single IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 under Punjab National Bank. The old UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. Only the new IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 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 route money transfers. The first four characters identify the bank (PUNB for Punjab National Bank). The fifth character is always 0. The last six characters identify the specific branch (MBGB06 for Jokihat). This structure helps banks process electronic transfers quickly and accurately.
