Merger Update
Several rural banks in Bihar were reorganised under a single arrangement tied to Punjab National Bank. If this branch previously operated under Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) or Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB), note the following:
- UBGB and DBGB have been merged operationally under Punjab National Bank’s sponsored structure for these regional rural banks.
- The active IFSC for transactions for these merged branches is PUNB0MBGB06.
- Old UBGB/DBGB IFSC codes are revoked. Only the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 must be used for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS.
- If you have saved an old IFSC, update it before initiating transfers.
What is IFSC Code?
IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to route electronic payments to a specific bank and branch.
- First 4 characters = bank code. Example: PUNB = Punjab National Bank.
- 5th character = zero (0). This is reserved for future use.
- Last 6 characters = branch identifier. Example: in PUNB0MBGB06, the last six characters are MBGB06, which identify the Supaul Bazar branch within the bank’s coding.
- Total length = 11 characters (alphanumeric).
How to Use IFSC Code
Follow these steps when sending money via NEFT, RTGS or IMPS:
- Obtain the recipient’s account number and the branch IFSC. Double-check spelling and digits.
- Log in to your bank’s internet banking, mobile app, or visit a branch. Choose NEFT, RTGS or IMPS based on urgency and value.
- Enter beneficiary name, account number, and IFSC exactly as provided. Select the transfer type and enter the amount.
- Verify charges, cut-off times and any minimum/maximum limits with your bank (some banks set limits even if RBI rules vary).
- Confirm the transaction. Save or note the transaction reference number for tracking.
- If you get an error or delay, contact the beneficiary bank branch (phone 9297955174) and your bank immediately with the transaction reference.

FAQs
Q: Is PUNB0MBGB06 the only IFSC I should use for Supaul Bazar?
A: Yes. PUNB0MBGB06 is the active IFSC for this branch. Any old IFSC codes from UBGB or DBGB are revoked and should not be used.
Q: What happens if I enter the wrong IFSC?
A: If the IFSC points to another valid branch, funds may go to an unintended account. If the IFSC is invalid, the transfer will likely be rejected and returned. Always confirm all details before sending.
Q: Which method should I use — NEFT, RTGS or IMPS?
A: Use IMPS for immediate small-value transfers (24×7). NEFT is suitable for regular transfers; it settles in batches and is available across most hours. RTGS is for high-value or urgent transfers. Check your bank’s service rules and any minimum/maximum limits.
Q: How long does a NEFT/RTGS/IMPS transfer to this branch take?
A: IMPS is typically instant. NEFT settles in hourly or half-hourly batches depending on the bank’s schedule. RTGS is usually real-time for eligible transfers. If a transfer is delayed, use the transaction reference and contact your bank and the Supaul Bazar branch at 9297955174.
Q: Can I receive international remittances using IFSC?
A: For many incoming international wire transfers, banks use SWIFT/BIC codes instead of IFSC. However, some remittance services may require an IFSC plus account details. Check with the sending service and the Supaul Bazar branch before providing instructions.
