opening facility through its digital platform PNB ONE app. This initiative marks a
significant milestone in the Bank's digital transformation journey.
The new facility enables existing PNB customers to open SSY accounts for their girl
children anytime, anywhere, without the need to visit bank branches. This digital
initiative represents PNB's commitment towards leveraging technology for social
good and making government-backed savings schemes more accessible to families
across the country.

withdrawal, account closure, and premature closure will continue to be processed at
the base branch level following existing process for accounts opened through offline
mode.
