==History==
Punjab National Bank is a [[Public sector undertakings in India|PSU]] working under union Government of India regulated by [[Reserve Bank of India]] Act, 1934 and Banking Regulation Act, 1949. Punjab National Bank was registered on 19 May 1894 under the Indian Companies Act, with its office in [[Anarkali Bazaar]], [[Lahore]], in present-day [[Pakistan]]. The founding board was drawn from different parts of India professing different faiths and of varying back-ground with, the common objective of creating a truly national bank that would further the economic interest of the country.<ref name=Origin>{{cite web |url=https://www.pnbindia.in/En/ui/OriginofPNB.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110213033022/http://www.pnbindia.in/En/ui/OriginofPNB.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 February 2011 |title=Origin of PNB |publisher=Punjab National Bank |access-date=18 February 2014}}</ref> PNB's founders included several leaders of the [[Swadeshi]] movement such as [[Dyal Singh Majithia]] and [[Lala Harkishen Lal]], Lala Lalchand, Kali Prosanna Roy, E. C. Jessawala, Prabhu Dayal, Bakshi Jaishi Ram, and Lala Dholan Dass.<ref>Singh Majithia (1994).</ref><ref>Tandon (1989).</ref> [[Lala Lajpat Rai]] was actively associated with the management of the Bank in its early years. The board first met on 23 May 1894.<ref name=Origin/> The bank opened for business on 12 April 1895 in [[Lahore]].

PNB is the first Indian bank to have been started solely with Indian capital that survives to the present earlier [[Oudh Commercial Bank]] was established in 1881, but failed in 1958.

[[Mahatma Gandhi]], [[Jawahar Lal Nehru]], [[Lal Bahadur Shastri]], [[Indira Gandhi]] and the [[Jalianwala Bagh]] Committee have held PNB accounts.<ref name=Origin/>

===Timeline===
[[File:PNB ATM at Moolchand Metro Station.jpg|right|thumb|PNB ATM at Moolchand Metro Station of Delhi Metro, Delhi]]
In 1900 PNB established its first branch outside Lahore in India. Branches in [[Karachi]] and [[Peshawar]] followed. The next major event occurred in 1940 when PNB absorbed Bhagwan (or Bhugwan) Dass Bank, which had its head office in [[Dehra]].

At the [[Partition of India]] and the creation of Pakistan, PNB lost its premises in Lahore, but continued to operate in Pakistan. Partition forced PNB to close 92 offices in [[West Pakistan]], one-third of its total number of branches, and which held 40% of the total deposits. PNB still maintained a few caretaker branches. On 31 March 1947, even before Partition, PNB had decided to leave Lahore and transfer its registered office to India; it received permission from the Lahore High Court on 20 June 1947, at which time it established a new head office at Under Hill Road, Civil Lines in New Delhi. Lala Yodh Raj was the Chairman of the Bank.

In 1951, PNB acquired the 39 branches of Bharat Bank (est. 1942). Bharat Bank became Bharat Nidhi Ltd. In 1960, PNB again shifted its head office, this time from Calcutta to Delhi. In 1961, PNB acquired Universal Bank of India, which Ramakrishna Jain had established in 1938 in [[Dalmianagar]], [[Bihar]]. PNB also amalgamated Indo Commercial Bank (est. 1932 by [[S. N. N. Sankaralinga Iyer]]) in a rescue. In 1963, The [[Politics of Burma#Military socialist era|Burmese revolutionary government]] nationalised PNB's branch in Rangoon ([[Yangon]]). This became People's Bank No. 7.<ref>Turnell (2009), p.226.</ref> After the [[History of the Kashmir conflict|Indo-Pak war]], in September 1965 the government of Pakistan seized all the offices in Pakistan of Indian banks. PNB also had one or more branches in [[East Pakistan]] ([[Bangladesh]]).

The [[Government of India]] (GOI) nationalised PNB and 13 other major commercial banks, on 19 July 1969. In 1976 or 1978, PNB opened a branch in London. some ten years later, in 1986, the [[Reserve Bank of India]] required PNB to transfer its London branch to [[State Bank of India]] after the branch was involved in a fraud scandal. That same year, 1986, PNB acquired Hindustan Commercial Bank (est. 1943) in a rescue. The acquisition added Hindustan's 142 branches to PNB's network. In 1993, PNB acquired [[New Bank of India]], which the GOI had nationalised in 1980. In 1998 PNB set up a representative office in [[Almaty]], Kazakhstan.

In 2003 PNB took over [[Nedungadi Bank]], the oldest private sector bank in [[Kerala]]. At the time of the merger with PNB, Nedungadi Bank's shares had zero value, with the result that its shareholders received no payment for their shares. PNB also opened a representative office in London. In 2004, PNB established a branch in [[Kabul]], Afghanistan, a representative office in Shanghai, and another in [[Dubai]]. PNB also established an alliance with [[Everest Bank Limited]] in Nepal that permits migrants to transfer funds easily between India and Everest Bank's 12 branches in Nepal. Currently, PNB owns 20% of Everest Bank. Two years later, PNB established PNBIL – Punjab National Bank (International) – in the UK, with two offices, one in London, and one in Southall. Since then it has opened more branches, this time in Leicester, Birmingham, Ilford, Wembley, and Wolverhampton. PNB also opened a branch in Hong Kong. In January 2009, PNB established a representative office in Oslo, Norway. PNB hopes to upgrade this to a branch in due course. In January 2010, PNB established a subsidiary in [[Bhutan]]. PNB owns 51% of Druk PNB Bank, which has branches in [[Thimpu]], [[Phuentsholing]], and [[Wangdue]]. Local investors own the remaining shares. Then on 1 May, PNB opened its branch in Dubai's financial center. PNB purchased a small minority stake in Kazakhstan-based JSC Danabank established on 20 October 1992 in Pavlodar. Within the year PNB increased its ownership till 84% of what has become JSC (SB) PNB, with its share currently decreased to 49%. The associate in Kazakhstan now called JSC Tengri Bank has branches in [[Almaty]], [[Nur-Sultan]], [[Karaganda]], [[Pavlodar]] and Shymkent. September 2011: PNB opened a representative office in [[Sydney]], Australia. December 2012: PNB signed an agreement with US based life Insurance company [[Metlife]] to acquire a 30% stake in MetLife's Indian affiliate MetLife India Limited. The company would be renamed PNB MetLife India Limited and PNB would sell MetLife's products in its branches.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/punjab-national-bank-acquires-30--stake-in-metlife-company-to-be-rebranded/1054584 |title=Punjab National Bank acquires 30% stake in Metlife, company to be re-branded |work=The Indian Express|date=4 January 2013 |access-date=18 February 2014}}</ref><ref name=PNBAR2012-13>{{cite web |url=http://www.bseindia.com/bseplus/AnnualReport/532461/5324610313.pdf |title=Annual Report 2012-13 |publisher=PNB |access-date=18 February 2014}}</ref><ref name=10K>{{cite web|url=http://www.hoovers.com/company/Punjab_National_Bank/ryxysxi-1-1njea5.html|title=Financials Information for Punjab National Bank |publisher=[[Hoover's]]|access-date=18 February 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/global2000/list/7/#header:assets_sortreverse:true|title=The World's Biggest Public Companies|work=Forbes}}</ref>
