IFSCOriental Bank of Commerce IFSC codes: old codes and the new Punjab National Bank codes
Oriental Bank of Commerce merged into Punjab National Bank on 1 April 2020. The old IFSC codes, which began with ORBC, stopped working on 1 April 2021. Every branch became a branch of Punjab National Bank and got a new IFSC code.
How the new code is made
In the current list the former Oriental Bank of Commerce branches have Punjab National Bank codes that end in 10: the old branch number followed by 10. For example ORBC0100017 (Meerut Cantt) is now PUNB0001710.
What this page lists
2,431 old codes of Oriental Bank of Commerce that were in the lists of the Reserve Bank between December 2006 and the merger and are not in use now. For 2,058 of them we show the new code, found by matching the branch name and place in the current list of Punjab National Bank. Confirm it with the bank before a payment. Where no single branch matched, the page says so instead of guessing: some branches were closed or joined with a nearby branch after the merger.

Is my money safe?
Yes. In a merger every account, deposit and loan moves to the bank that took over, with the same balance. Only the names and codes change: the IFSC code, usually the MICR code, the cheque book, and sometimes the account number.
What to do if you still have the old code
- If you are paying someone: ask them for the new code, or find it here and confirm it with them. A payment to the old code is refused and the money returns to your account.
- If it is your own account: use the code printed on your new cheque book or passbook, or shown in the bank's app. Give the new code to your employer, tenants, clients, mutual funds, insurers and the income tax portal, so salaries, refunds and SIP or EMI debits keep working.
- Old cheques: cheque books of the merged bank stopped being accepted after a notice period. Ask your branch for a new one.
