Merger Update
This branch operates under the Bihar Gramin Bank arrangement linked with Punjab National Bank for IFSC routing. Earlier, some local branches were part of Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB). Those banks have been consolidated and now use a single IFSC code: PUNB0MBGB06 under Punjab National Bank. Old UBGB/DBGB IFSC codes have been revoked; only the new IFSC is valid for NEFT, RTGS and IMPS transactions. Always use the current IFSC shown above when adding a beneficiary.
What is IFSC Code?
The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to identify bank branches in electronic transfers. Its structure is fixed:
- First 4 characters: bank identifier (example: PUNB for Punjab National Bank).
- 5th character: always 0 (reserved for future use).
- Last 6 characters: branch identifier (example: MBGB06 for this branch grouping).
For Thakurganj the full code is PUNB0MBGB06. That tells the payment system to route to Punjab National Bank’s designated branch code for Bihar Gramin Bank Thakurganj.
How to Use IFSC Code
- Open your bank’s fund transfer screen (netbanking, mobile app, or branch form).
- Choose the transfer type: NEFT, RTGS or IMPS. IMPS is instant; NEFT and RTGS depend on bank processing and amount rules.
- Enter beneficiary name, account number, and the IFSC exactly as PUNB0MBGB06. Do not substitute spaces or change characters.
- Verify the beneficiary name or account details shown by your bank before confirming. A mismatch is a red flag.
- Confirm transfer and note the transaction reference number. Keep it until beneficiary confirms receipt.
Tip: If your bank auto-fills branch details from the IFSC, still cross-check the branch and city before sending large amounts.
Benefits of Knowing IFSC
- Ensures funds reach the correct branch and account without manual routing.
- Needed to add a beneficiary in netbanking or mobile banking.
- Prevents failed or returned transactions caused by incorrect branch selection.
- Facilitates faster resolution if you have a transaction reference and correct IFSC.
- Required for inward transfers, salary credits, pension payments and vendor payments.
