History
Punjab National Bank was registered on 19 May 1894 under the Indian Companies Act, with its office in Anarkali Bazaar, Lahore. The founding board was drawn
from different parts of India professing different faiths and a varied back-ground with, however, the common objective of providing country with a truly national
bank which would further the economic interest of the country.
[1]
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 Lala Dholan Dass.
[6][7]
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 Singh Majithia.
[1]
The bank opened for business on 12 April 1895 in Lahore.
PNB has the distinction of being the first Indian bank to have been started solely with Indian 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, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, as well as
the account of the famous Jalianwala Bagh Committee.

Timeline
1900: PNB established its first branch outside Lahore in Rawalpindi. Branches in Karachi and Peshawar followed.
1940: PNB absorbed Bhagwan Dass Bank, a scheduled bank located in Delhi Circle.
1947: at the Partition of India and the commencement of Pakistani independence, PNB lost its premises in Lahore, but continued to operate in Pakistan.
Partition forced PNB to close 92 offices in West Pakistan, 33% of the total number, 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 in New Delhi.
1951: PNB acquired the 39 branches of Bharat Bank (est. 1942); Bharat Bank became Bharat Nidhi Ltd.
1960: PNB again shifted its head office, this time from Calcutta to Delhi.

1986: PNB acquired Hindustan Commercial Bank (est. 1943) in a rescue. The acquisition added Hindustan's 142 branches to PNB's network.

2004: The next year, PNB established a branch in Kabul, Afghanistan and a representative office in Shanghai. PNB also established an alliance with Everest

Bank.

Kong.
January 2009: PNB established a representative office in Oslo, Norway. PNB hopes to upgrade this to a branch in due course.

what has become JSC (SB) PNB. The subsidiary has branches in Almaty, Astana, Kangandu, and Pavlodar. Dena Bankwas established on 20 October 1992 in
Pavlodar.
