Fund Summary

Investment Objective

The fund seeks the maximum amount of current income exempt from federal income
tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the fund.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses	DREYFUS INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND INC
Management fees	0.60%
Other expenses (including shareholder services fees)	0.16%

Example

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all
of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund's operating expenses
remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example (USD $)	Expense Example, with Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, with Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, with Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, with Redemption, 10 Years
DREYFUS INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND INC	78	243	422	942

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was
15.11% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its net assets
in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax. The fund
invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds rated A or higher, or the
unrated equivalent as determined by The Dreyfus Corporation. The fund may invest
up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below A, including bonds rated
below investment grade ("high yield" or "junk" bonds) or the unrated equivalent
as determined by The Dreyfus Corporation. The fund generally maintains a
dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity between three and ten years.

The portfolio managers focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities.
To select municipal bonds for the fund, the portfolio managers use fundamental
credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various
sectors and securities and actively trade among various sectors, based on their
apparent relative values.

Although the fund seeks to provide income exempt from federal income tax, income
from some of the fund's holdings may be subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax. In addition, the fund temporarily may invest in taxable bonds.

Principal Risks

An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. It
is not a complete investment program. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes
dramatically, which means you could lose money.
  
o Municipal bond market risk. The amount of public information available about
municipal bonds is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds.
Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and
business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the fund's
investments in municipal bonds. Other factors include the general conditions of
the municipal bond market, the size of the particular offering, the maturity of
the obligation and the rating of the issue. Changes in economic, business or
political conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality,
or state in which the fund invests may have an impact on the fund's share price.

o Interest rate risk. Prices of municipal bonds tend to move inversely with
changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect bond
prices and, accordingly, the fund's share price. The longer the effective
maturity and duration of the fund's portfolio, the more the fund's share price
is likely to react to interest rates.

o Credit risk. Failure of an issuer to make timely interest or principal
payments, or a decline or perception of a decline in the credit quality of a
municipal bond, can cause the bond's price to fall, potentially lowering the
fund's share price. The lower a bond's credit rating, the greater the chance -
in the rating agency's opinion - that the bond issuer will default or fail to
meet its payment obligations. To the extent the fund invests in high yield
("junk") bonds, its portfolio is subject to heightened credit risk.

o Liquidity risk. When there is little or no active trading market for specific
types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities at or
near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities and
the fund's share price may fall dramatically, even during periods of declining
interest rates. The secondary market for certain municipal bonds tends to be
less well developed or liquid than many other securities markets, which may
adversely affect the fund's ability to sell such municipal bonds at attractive
prices.
