If you have an account with Punjab National Bank (PNB), this update is extremely important.
The bank has announced that all customers who fail to complete their KYC update by November 30, 2025 will have their accounts blocked.
PNB has already started sending alerts to customers to avoid inconvenience.
Once the deadline passes, any account without updated e-KYC will stop functioning.
What Happens If You Don’t Update KYC?
As per RBI guidelines, completing KYC is compulsory for every bank account holder.
If you do not update your KYC on time:
Your account may be blocked
You won’t be able to deposit or withdraw money
Online transactions will also stop
Even if you have money in your account, you will not be able to access it until the KYC process is completed.
What Exactly Is KYC?
KYC stands for Know Your Customer.
It helps banks verify the identity of customers and ensures the security of financial transactions.
If KYC is not completed, the risk of fraud, fake accounts, money laundering, and cybercrime increases.
KYC becomes especially important for:
Old account holders
People who have changed their address
Those with expired ID cards
Users whose mobile number or PAN is not updated in bank records
Documents Required for KYC Update
To complete your KYC, you will need the following:
Aadhaar card, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving License
Electricity bill, gas bill, or bank statement (as address proof)
PAN card or Form 60
Passport-sized photo
Registered mobile number
Visit your nearest PNB branch or complete e-KYC through available digital options before the deadline.
