Merger Update
Note: The Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) have been consolidated into a unified setup and transactions for these earlier entities are now routed through Punjab National Bank’s code PUNB0MBGB06. Old UBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. Use only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 for all NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transfers to affected branches. If you have an older IFSC saved, update it before initiating transfers.
What is IFSC Code?
The IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to identify bank branches for electronic payments in India.
- First 4 characters — identify the bank (example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank).
- 5th character — reserved and is always 0.
- Last 6 characters — identify the specific branch (alphanumeric). In PUNB0MBGB06, the last six characters uniquely point to the Marwan branch setup under the merged structure.
IFSC is used by NEFT, RTGS and IMPS systems to route payments to the correct branch. It is different from the MICR code which is used for cheque clearing.
How to Use IFSC Code
- Add beneficiary: In your bank’s internet banking or mobile app, choose “Add beneficiary” or “Add payee”.
- Enter details: Fill beneficiary name, account number and IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Also enter branch name if requested.
- Verify: The bank will usually show the branch name after entering IFSC. Confirm it matches “Marwan” or MUZAFFARPUR.
- Authenticate: Complete OTP or transaction PIN verification as required by your bank.
- Choose transfer mode: Select NEFT, RTGS or IMPS based on urgency and amount.
- Check limits and timings: IMPS is immediate and available 24×7 (subject to bank limits). NEFT is typically available round-the-clock with near-real-time settlement. RTGS is for high-value transfers (minimum usually around ₹2,00,000 but check your bank for exact limits) and processes immediately.
- Confirm: Review beneficiary account number and IFSC before confirming. Mistakes can delay reconciliation.
Benefits of Knowing the IFSC
- Easier and faster fund routing for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS.
- Prevents failed transfers and reversals due to branch mismatches.
- Helps confirm branch identity when receiving inward remittances.
- Required when adding beneficiaries in internet banking and mobile apps.
- Useful for businesses and payroll to automate electronic payments.
