Merger Update

Important: Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank (UBGB) and Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank (DBGB) have been merged under Punjab National Bank for backend processing. The consolidated, valid IFSC for the merged rural bank branches is PUNB0MBGB06. Old IFSC codes that belonged to UBGB or DBGB are no longer valid for online transactions. Always use the new IFSC PUNB0MBGB06 when sending funds to the Thawe branch to avoid failed transfers or delays.

What is IFSC Code?

IFSC stands for Indian Financial System Code. It is an 11-character alphanumeric code used to identify bank branches in electronic payment systems. The structure is:

  • First 4 characters – alphabetic bank identifier (e.g., PUNB = Punjab National Bank).
  • 5th character – reserved and always 0.
  • Last 6 characters – branch identifier (alphanumeric) that uniquely identifies the branch (for this branch: MBGB06 in PUNB0MBGB06).

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

  • Open your bank’s internet banking or mobile banking app and choose the transfer type (NEFT, RTGS or IMPS).
  • Select Add Beneficiary (or similar). Enter the beneficiary name exactly as in their account, account number, and the IFSC: PUNB0MBGB06. You may optionally enter the branch address: Thawe, Gopalganj, Bihar, 841440.
  • Verify the beneficiary details and confirm. Some banks require an OTP or a waiting period before the beneficiary becomes active.
  • Initiate the transfer by selecting the active beneficiary, entering the amount and purpose, and authorizing via OTP/password.
  • Record the transaction reference or UTR for tracking. For failed or returned transfers, provide the UTR and beneficiary details to your bank for reconciliation.
  • Note practical differences: IMPS is instant 24×7; NEFT processes in near-real-time or hourly/batched windows depending on bank systems; RTGS is for large-value immediate settlement. Check with your bank for any per-transaction limits and charges.

Benefits of Knowing the IFSC

  • Ensures accurate routing of funds to the correct branch and account.
  • Reduces transaction failures and reversals, saving time and fees.
  • Required for online bank forms, payrolls, and third-party payments.
  • Helps customer service and reconciliation using the UTR and branch identifiers (IFSC + MICR).
  • Enables quick verification: IFSC identifies the bank and the specific branch.
