I invested Rs. 50,000 in PNB fixed deposit it has the duration of one year then again the fixed deposit renew automatically, I am getting sms alert during the transactions. But I felt the rate of interest is lower as compared to HDFC , it would be great if they increase the interest for saving and fixed deposit.

I am having the fixed deposit account with the Punjab National bank and the services are good one. I would like to say that the rate of interest is okay one for me with the Punjab National bank. I am really happy with them till now.
I hold a fixed deposit with PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK. The rate of interest is 4.5% for one year. Even if i withdraw with in the Fixed Deposit period they do not apply any charges. The customer service and response with the fixed deposit account is great.
I put a decent amount of my Money into Fixed Deposit and PNB looked to be a perfect fit for that. I got Interest return of 7%, which I feel is quite good compared to the Market standards. The best thing about this Investment is that I can take the whole amount out of the FD any time I want even before maturity.

I do have fixed deposit account with the Fixed deposit and they have provided around 8.5% as interest rate. Services are perfect one for me and I do have good relationship with them because my relatives are working there. Net banking services are also working good and they are started to exhibit most of the services there.
I have taken a fixed deposit with Punjab National bank. It was a easy process to open this account. Though I have an option on the portal. I preferred visiting the bank in person and the process was completed pretty fast. The rate of interest is satisfactory too.
I hold a fixed deposit with PNB Bank. The services are average from them. When ever I contact them with a query, I do not get a very satisfactory answer. The rate of interest is normal. There are no charges taken for this facility. It would be better if there is an improvement in services.
PNB is giving 7.5% interest rate for one year fixed deposit . There is no activation charges. The minimum amount is Rs.1000. We can avail the plan through online which will be activated on the spot. If we withdraw the many in between there are no charges

When i opened the fixed deposit account the amount was taken from the saving so they told that there is no need of any receipt and another account number.But after seven months when i applied to break the deposit they were asking for th receipt and account number by which i am not able to break it. In the initial stage they told that for 10,000 will get 18,000 after a year but later they informed will get Rs.10,850. They are not transparent to the customer.
My fixed account is with Punjab national bank. Interest part was good. I am getting lots of offers from them. They offered me a debit card. They will provide install loan without any documents. We can use it as multiple purpose. Their fixed account is flexible for every one.
I opened an Fixed Deposit account with PNB because it is reliable to the customers. There is no need to open an savings account with them for doing any kind of investments. But if its any private bank we have to open an account as well as need to maintain some minimum balance. 9% is the rate of interest they are offering to me.
I opened an Fixed deposit account with PNB. Since it is an government sector I opened this account with them. They are very matured in banking services. It is very safe with PNB to hold an FD account, one of my friend has suggested me about this bank. They have offered me 9% interest rate which is good.
