If you have a bank account in Punjab National Bank (PNB), then this news is very important for you. PNB has issued an important warning to all its customers. The bank has said that to ensure the smooth operation of the accounts, all customers should get their KYC (Know Your Customer) details updated by 8 August 2025.
