Merger Update
Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) have been merged into a single sponsored structure under Punjab National Bank. As a result, this branch now uses the consolidated IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. All old UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. Only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 is valid for NEFT/RTGS/IMPS and other electronic transfers to this branch. Before initiating a transfer, always confirm you are using the new IFSC.
What is an IFSC Code?
IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character code used to identify bank branches in electronic payment systems. The structure is fixed:
- First 4 characters: bank identifier (alphabetic). Example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank.
- 5th character: always 0 (reserved).
- Last 6 characters: branch identifier (alphanumeric). Example: in PUNB0MBGB06, the last 6 characters are MBGB06, which point to the specific branch/entry in the bank’s system.
The MICR code (here 800811002) is different. It is used mainly for cheque clearing and is a 9-digit numeric code tied to the branch and city clearing region.
How to Use IFSC Code (NEFT / RTGS / IMPS)
- Open your bank app or internet banking portal and go to the fund transfer / add beneficiary section.
- Provide beneficiary name, account number and select transfer type (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS).
- Enter the IFSC exactly as PUNB0MBGB06. Do not add spaces or change case; systems treat the code as a fixed token.
- Save beneficiary if required. Many banks perform a micro-validation or require beneficiary activation (may take minutes to hours).
- Enter the amount and any remarks. Verify the displayed beneficiary details (bank and branch) before confirming.
- Authenticate the transaction (OTP/password/signature) as required by your bank.
- Check transaction status after submission. For immediate credit options use IMPS or RTGS for high-value transfers; NEFT handles bulk batch settlements if your bank uses batch processing.
Practical tip: confirm the IFSC from a cheque leaf, passbook, or by calling the branch at 7541807545 if you are unsure.
Benefits of Knowing the IFSC
- Ensures electronic funds land in the right branch and account without delay.
- Makes adding beneficiaries faster and reduces failed transaction risk.
- Required for online forms, payroll and automated payments.
- Helps customer service verify branch details when you call or visit.
- Distinguishes between branches with similar names in different cities or districts.

FAQs
-
Q: How do I verify that PUNB0MBGB06 is correct for Kurtha Bazar branch?
A: Check the branch passbook or cheque leaf (IFSC printed), or call the branch at 7541807545. The head office toll-free number 18001807777 can also confirm IFSC details. -
Q: What happens if I enter the wrong IFSC during a transfer?
A: If the IFSC doesn’t match the account number and bank, the transfer may fail or be returned to the sender. If it routes to another branch/account, the receiving bank will investigate and may reverse funds after verification. Contact your bank immediately with transaction details. -
Q: Is IFSC case-sensitive? Can I type lowercase letters?
A: Most banking interfaces accept either case, but always enter the code without spaces. Use the exact sequence PUNB0MBGB06 to avoid issues. -
Q: Are IFSC and MICR the same?
A: No. IFSC (11 characters) routes electronic transfers (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS). MICR (9 digits) is used for cheque clearing. Both identify the branch but have different roles. -
Q: Are old UBGB or DBGB IFSC codes valid for this branch?
A: No. With the merger into Punjab National Bank, old UBGB/DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. Use only PUNB0MBGB06 for transactions to this branch.
