About Punjab National Bank (PNB)
Punjab National Bank was registered on 19 May 1894 under the Indian Companies Act
with its office in Anarkali BazaarLahore. The founding board was drawn from differentparts of India professing different faiths and a varied back-ground with, however, thecommon objective of providing country with a truly national bank which would further the
economic interest of the country. PNB's founders included several leaders of the Swadeshi
movement such as Dyal Singh Majithia and Lala Harkishan Lal, Lala Lalchand, Shri Kali
Prosanna Roy, Shri E.C. Jessawala, Shri Prabhu Dayal, Bakshi Jaishi Ram, and LalaDholan Dass.Lala Lajpat Rai was actively associated with the management of the Bank in
its early years. The board first met on 23 May 1894. Ironically, the PNB Website now
claims Lala Lajpat Rai to be the founding father, surpassing Rai Mul Raj and Dyal SinghMajithia.
PNB has the distinction of being the first Indian bank to have been started solely withIndian capital that has survived to the present. (The first entirely Indian bank, Commercial
Bank, was established in 1881 in Faizabad , but failed in 1958.)
PNB has had the privilege of maintaining accounts of national leaders such as Mahatma
Gandhi, Shri Jawahar Lal Nehru, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, Shrimati Indira Gandhi, as well
as the account of the famous Jalianwala Bagh Committee.
Punjab National Bank, popularly called P. N. B., initially started its business on 12th April
of the year 1895. With their mission to provide banking services to the un-banked, they aimto be the leading player in global banking. Over the time, they have become a known name,especially in the Indo-Gangetic plains. The huge network of this bank includes over 5, 100
offices, which include 5 overseas branches and more than 60 million customers. This bank
has continued to maintain their leadership position for its strong fundamentals, superiorbrand image as well as huge franchise value.
