Merger Update
Important: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) have been consolidated under Punjab National Bank’s sponsorship. After the consolidation, affected regional rural bank branches now use the single IFSC code PUNB0MBGB06 for transactions. Old UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. If you previously used an UBGB/DBGB IFSC for this branch, stop using it. Only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 is valid for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS.
What is IFSC Code?
The IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is an 11-character code used to identify a specific bank branch in electronic payments. The structure is fixed:
- First 4 characters – bank identifier (example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank).
- 5th character – reserved and always ‘0’.
- Last 6 characters – branch identifier (example: MBGB06).
So in PUNB0MBGB06, “PUNB” is the bank, “0” is the reserved digit, and “MBGB06” points to the specific branch.
How to Use IFSC Code
Follow these steps when sending money via NEFT, RTGS or IMPS:
- Open your bank’s payment interface (mobile app, netbanking or branch form).
- Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. Use RTGS for large immediate transfers. Use IMPS for instant transfers outside banking hours.
- Enter beneficiary name and account number exactly as given by the recipient.
- Enter the IFSC code: PUNB0MBGB06 for Bihar Gramin Bank, Nanpur.
- Enter the beneficiary bank name if requested (Bihar Gramin Bank / Punjab National Bank sponsored RRB). This helps cross-check but the IFSC routes the payment.
- Enter amount, purpose and any remarks. Confirm and authorize the payment using OTP or transaction password.
- Keep transaction reference or UTR for tracking. For failed payments, use the UTR and the bank’s helpline.

FAQs
- Q: Can I use the old UBGB IFSC for transfer to Nanpur branch?
A: No. Old UBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. Use PUNB0MBGB06 only. - Q: Which transfer mode is fastest to credit the beneficiary account?
A: IMPS and RTGS (for high-value) are instant. NEFT processes in settlement batches; it can take minutes to a few hours depending on timing. - Q: What happens if I enter the wrong IFSC?

A: Use the branch details provided by the beneficiary or check an official bank statement or passbook. The IFSC is printed on chequebooks and passbooks issued by the branch. - Q: Is the IFSC case-sensitive?
A: IFSC is not case-sensitive in most banking interfaces, but use uppercase for clarity: PUNB0MBGB06.
