Bank visits can eat up a lot of your day. Knowing the opening hours and holidays beforehand helps a lot. This blog covers the PNB Bank timings and holidays, so you know what to expect.
Key Takeaways
Most PNB branches start at 10 in the morning. Customer work wraps up around 4 in the evening. A few branches might run a little differently. They work on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays of the month with the same hours. Second and fourth Saturdays are off. Sundays are closed too, along with holidays.
Look up your branch on the bank website or the PNB ONE app, or just call them. Some village branches or busy city ones tweak the hours a bit. Since the staff does not take lunch breaks at the same time, counters remain open. However, lines tend to be long in the middle of the day.

Cash counters open at 10 with the rest of the branch. They stop taking cash earlier than other work. Most places finish cash by 3 or 3:30 so the staff can balance everything. Go early if you have a big deposit or withdrawal.
Things like putting in cheques or asking simple questions can continue closer to closing time.
You get to open your locker only when the branch is open for regular work. That is from 10 in the morning on normal days and on the first, third and fifth Saturdays. Lockers stay shut on Sundays, second and fourth Saturdays, and holidays.
There is no separate time for lockers. Call the branch if you need to plan a visit.
PNB follows the list put out by the Reserve Bank of India. Branches close every Sunday and on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. National holidays and many state festivals also mean a closed branch. You can check the national holidays in advance on the RBI website.
All public holidays, including holidays for festivals and other events, are closed for PNB branches. It is essential to check ahead whether the branch is open or closed.
Best to check the RBI list for your place or call your branch the day before. App, net banking, and ATMs keep working even when the branch is shut.
Yes, small changes happen. Most branches stick to 10 in the morning till around 4 in the evening. Busy city ones might open a bit earlier or stay open longer. Village branches sometimes shift hours to match the local crowd.
State holidays create bigger gaps. A festival day in one state may not close the bank in another. Always check with your own branch to get the correct PNB Bank timings.
