Branch details at a glance

Patarghat branch overview

Located at JANASMALLFINANCEBANKLTD.FIRSTFLOOR,ABOVERELIANCEDIGITAL,MADHEPURA-PATARGHATROAD,ATPOST-PATARGHAT,DIST.-SAHARSA,BIHAR-852107, the Patarghat branch handles regular banking operations such as account opening, fixed and recurring deposits, locker facilities, loans, and trade finance services where applicable.

Why every Jana Small Finance Bank Limited branch has a unique IFSC

Before electronic settlement systems went live in India, money transfers between banks relied heavily on demand drafts, mail transfers and telegraphic transfers. These older instruments routinely took days to clear and were prone to misrouting because there was no single machine-readable identifier for a branch. The Reserve Bank of India solved this by issuing each participating branch — including PATARGHAT of Jana Small Finance Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code JSFB0004056 is therefore not just an internal reference; it is the digital postcode that lets the RBI's NEFT, RTGS and IMPS rails route funds straight to the right branch ledger without any human intervention.

Today, almost every salary credit, vendor payment, refund and EMI deduction in the country flows through this network, which is exactly why a correct IFSC matters so much. A wrong character can either bounce the transfer or send it to the wrong branch, and reversing such a credit is a manual, time-consuming process. Treat IFSC JSFB0004056 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

How UPI relates to the IFSC code

UPI lets you pay using a short Virtual Payment Address instead of typing the IFSC every time, but behind the scenes every UPI mandate is mapped to an account number plus an IFSC.
