How to Check TGB Bank Balance in 2025

This bank has been in operation since 2006 under its popular old name, Deccan Grameena Bank. Later in 2014, it got a new name, “Telangana Grameena Bank”,

It is specially designed for the Telangana semi-urban and rural areas to provide best-in-class banking facilities. It is supported by one of the biggest banks, the State Bank of India.

How 1 RRB on 1 State Policy Changed Telangana Grameena Bank

As per the Hindu BusinessLine press release, the Telangana-based branches of Andhra Pradesh Grameena Vikas Bank (APGVB) were merged into TGB on 1 January 2015. Today, the bank operates 934 branches and bank touching more than 39 million customer base across the state.

To handle this growth and meet the needs of all types of customers from rural areas to semi-urban, TGB now offers multiple balance enquiry options, both online and offline.
Let’s explore top options, including one of my favourites.

1. TGB Missed Call Banking Alert Number

Let’s start with the easiest one—missed call banking. The bank has a large customer base from all types of areas in Telangana, and a few towns have internet issues, and many customers, like farmers, older citizens, who do not use smartphones. This service is perfect for those users.

According to the AskPAi NPCI chatbot of TGB Bank, this is a 24/7 working missed call banking number 09278031313 for individual account holders to enquire.

To activate this method, follow the steps –

Step 1: Get the Registration Form

Here you have to fill out the basic information about you-
