Merger Update
Bihar Gramin Bank’s operations at this branch use the IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06, issued under Punjab National Bank (PNB). If this branch was earlier part of Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) or Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB), note that those regional gramin banks have been consolidated and now operate under the single IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Old UBGB/DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. For all NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transactions use only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06.
What is an IFSC Code?
IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to route electronic payments.
- First 4 characters = bank code. Example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank.
- 5th character = always zero (reserved for future use).
- Last 6 characters = branch identifier. Example: MBGB06 identifies the specific KESATH branch under the sponsor bank.
How to Use IFSC Code
- Open your bank’s netbanking app or mobile banking app.
- Choose payment type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. (Use RTGS for high-value immediate transfers; NEFT for bulk/standard transfers; IMPS for instant 24×7 transfers.)
- Enter beneficiary name and account number exactly as provided by the recipient.
- Enter IFSC code: PUNB0MBGB06. Double-check characters — a single wrong letter or digit redirects the payment.
- Provide branch details if required (KESATH, Buxar, Bihar — PIN 802125). Many apps do not require branch address, only IFSC and account number.
- Confirm amount and submit. Note the transaction reference number and keep it until beneficiary confirms receipt.
Benefits of Knowing the IFSC
- Accurate routing: Ensures funds reach the exact branch and account.
- Faster settlements: Reduces processing delays and failed transfers.
- Required for all electronic transfers: NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and many mobile wallets/bank mandates.
- Useful for standing instructions and automated credit (salaries, pensions, subsidies).
- Aids reconciliation: Banks use IFSC + account number for tracking and resolving issues.
