History
It was in the year 1908, when a humble idea to uplift the poorest of poor of the land culminated in the birth of Punjab & Sind Bank with the far-sighted vision of luminaries like Bhai Vir Singh, Sir Sunder Singh Majitha and Sardar Tarlochan Singh. They enjoyed the highest respect with the people of Punjab.[2]
The bank was founded on the principle of social commitment to help the weaker section of the society in their economic endeavours to raise their standard of life. Decades have gone by, even today Punjab & Sind Bank stands committed to honor the social commitments of the founding fathers.
On 15 April 1980 Punjab & Sind Bank was among six banks that the Government of India nationalized in the second wave of nationalizations. (The first wave had been in 1969 when the government nationalized the top 14 banks.)
In the 1960s Punjab & Sind Bank established a branch in London. In 1991 Bank of Baroda acquired Punjab & Sind Bank's London branch at the behest of the Reserve Bank of India following Punjab & Sind's involvement in the Sethia fraud in 1987.
Since 2004 Punjab & Sind has shown growth of over 40% year on year, and its recent IPO was oversubscribed by more than 50 times. Recently the bank crossed a mark of Rs 1 lac crore in business.
Setluj Gramin Bank is a Regional Rural Bank sponsored by Punjab & Sind Bank.
