Link Aadhaar to Punjab National Bank Account
Linking your Aadhaar number with your Punjab National Bank (PNB) account is essential for receiving government monetary benefits. While it is not mandatory to link your bank account with Aadhaar, you must do so to receive subsidies and social security benefits from the central and/or state government.
PNB customers can now link their bank accounts with Aadhaar through four different methods:
Through the website
Through net banking
Through SMS
By visiting the branch

How to Link PNB Account with Aadhaar by Visiting the Branch

Visit the PNB branch where your account is maintained.
Fill out the Aadhaar seeding form with all required details.
Attach a self-attested copy of your Aadhaar and passbook.
Provide your original Aadhaar card for verification.
The bank executive will give you an acknowledgement receipt.
Use the receipt number to track your Aadhaar linking status.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your PNB account is linked with your Aadhaar, enabling you to receive all eligible benefits seamlessly.
