PNB warns its customer Important Announcement, may result in restrictions on account operations

Punjab National Bank (PNB) has reminded its customers to complete their KYC (Know Your Customer) updates by November 30, 2025. The bank said this is a regulatory requirement to ensure customer records remain accurate and up to date.
"As per RBI guidelines, KYC updation is mandatory for all customers. If your account has become due for KYC updation as of 30.09.2025, you are requested to get your KYC updated through PNB ONE/IBS/registered email/post/WhatsApp/SMS or in-person visit to any branch by 30.11.2025. Non-updation may lead to restriction of operations in your account," PNB informed its customers via a post on social media platform X.

KYC details help banks verify the identity and address of account holders, prevent account misuse, and ensure safer financial transactions.

PNB offers multiple ways to complete the KYC process
1. In-branch update
Customers can visit any PNB branch with the necessary documents. Bank staff will verify and update the details on the spot.
2. Online Update
Customers can also update their KYC using PNB One App, Internet Banking, or WhatsApp Banking. Documents can be securely uploaded through these digital channels.
3. Via post
Those unable to visit a branch can send documents via registered email or post to their home branch, offering flexibility for customers facing travel or health constraints.
