What is IFSC Code?

IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to uniquely identify a bank branch for electronic payments. The format is:

• First 4 characters: Bank identifier (example: PUNB for Punjab National Bank).
• 5th character: Reserved and always 0.
• Last 6 characters: Branch code (example: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06).

Example mapping for this branch: PUNB | 0 | MBGB06.

How to Use IFSC Code (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS)

• Open your bank’s internet banking, mobile app, or visit a branch.
• Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS.
• Add beneficiary details: beneficiary name, bank account number, and IFSC PUNB0MBGB06. Enter the branch name if requested: SONBHADRA VANSHI.
• Save beneficiary after validation (some banks require OTP verification).
• Enter amount and purpose. Verify the beneficiary name shown by your bank before confirming.
• Submit the transfer. Note settlement behavior:
  • NEFT: No minimum. Settles in half-hourly batches but available 24×7 in most banks.
  • RTGS: For high-value transfers (typically ≥ ₹2,00,000). Real-time settlement during RTGS hours.
  • IMPS: Immediate 24×7 real-time transfer for low-to-medium amounts (bank limits vary; check with your bank).
• If the bank app shows a mismatch in beneficiary name after entering IFSC, re-confirm the IFSC and account number with the beneficiary or branch before proceeding.

Benefits of Knowing the IFSC

• Reduces failed or returned transactions and related delays.
• Required for online transfers (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS) and many payment services.

FAQs

• Q: Is PUNB0MBGB06 the correct IFSC to send money to Sonbhadra Vanshi branch?
  A: Yes. Use PUNB0MBGB06. Old UBGB/DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked after the merger. Do not use deprecated codes.
• Q: What happens if I enter a wrong IFSC but correct account number?
  A: Most systems route by IFSC and account number together. A wrong IFSC can cause routing failure or delayed return. Always verify IFSC and account number before confirming a transfer.
• Q: Can I use just branch name instead of IFSC for NEFT/RTGS/IMPS?
  A: No. Digital systems require the IFSC to route the payment. Branch name alone is not sufficient.
• Q: How do I verify this IFSC independently?
  A: Verify the IFSC on a bank passbook, cheque leaf of the beneficiary, or confirm with the branch phone number (7541807535) and head office if unsure.
• Q: Are there timing or amount limits I should know?
  A: NEFT has no minimum; settlements are batched. RTGS is for high-value transfers (commonly ₹2,00,000 and above) and settles in real time during RTGS hours. IMPS is instant and available 24×7 but per-transaction limits depend on your bank. Confirm limits with your bank.
