Merger Update

Important: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) have been consolidated. The merged operations now use a single IFSC code under Punjab National Bank: PUNB0MBGB06. Old UBGB and DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked. For all electronic transfers, use only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Transactions sent to old codes will not be routed to this branch.

What is IFSC Code?

The IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to identify bank branches for electronic payments. Its structure:

  • First 4 characters = bank identifier (example: PUNB for Punjab National Bank).
  • Fifth character = reserved and is always 0.
  • Last 6 characters = branch identifier (alphanumeric). Example: in PUNB0MBGB06, the last six are MBGB06, which pinpoint the Pipra Bazar branch.

How to Use IFSC Code

  • Open your bank’s netbanking, mobile banking app, or visit the branch for a paper transfer form.
  • Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. Note: RTGS is for large-value same-day transfers; NEFT for variable settlement batches; IMPS for immediate instant transfers (24×7).
  • Enter beneficiary name exactly as on their account and the beneficiary account number.
  • Enter the IFSC: PUNB0MBGB06 for Pipra Bazar branch.
  • Enter amount and any remarks required. Verify details before confirming.
  • Authenticate the transaction (OTP, token or netbanking credentials) and retain the transaction reference for tracking.
  • If you are unsure about IMPS via MMID or mobile-only flows: IMPS to a bank account generally requires IFSC + account number. MMID-based IMPS needs MMID and mobile number instead.

Benefits of Knowing the IFSC

  • Ensures funds reach the exact branch and account without manual correction.
  • Speeds up transfers: RTGS/NEFT/IMPS rely on IFSC for routing.
  • Reduces failed transactions and return charges caused by wrong routing.
  • Makes verification easier for inward remittances and payroll processing.
  • Required for uploading beneficiary details in netbanking and mobile apps.
