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.

Under the KYC compliance process, PNB requests its customers to update the following details:

• Proof of Identity
• Proof of Address
• Recent Photograph
• PAN/Form 60
• Income Proof
• Mobile Number
• Any other KYC details

Through Registered Email/Post

You can also update your KYC by sending the required documents to your branch from your registered email ID or by sending them through the post.
