      "Personal loan "
      0.5 4.0/5 "Great!"
      Being a loan seeker I had also approached PNB for the same personal loan. The rate of interest offered by them was also very good. They are very much transparent. No hidden cost and service tax. The only downside is they take a lot of time to revert back.

      "PNB is too transparent"
      0.5 5.0/5 "Blown Away!"
      PNB is too transparent with the process, they have mentioned clearly the required set of documents before hand . They promised to deliver the loan within a span of 7 days but to my surprise I got the credit within 5 days. They had given ample of time to arrange for documents. Response time was always good and within 5 days I got the loan amount in my account.

      PNB Bank being a nationalized bank it provides loans only for Government employee. As I am employed in a private school they are not providing loans to the private employees. This loan was taken during hte year 2006 now the personal loan norms has got changed. Moreover the staff approach is not good.

      PNB Personal loan process is fine. The interest rate offered by them is the least in the market. My salary account is with PNB so I had taken a loan from them. Interest rate offered by them was 13% . Processing fee is very much higher than what I expected. I am very much comfortable with the standing order instruction.

      Within 2 days I got my personal loan amount disbursed with Punjab National Bank, which is really short time. They collected only required documents for the loan application and 10.25% is the interest rate quoted by them. The best thing is foreclosure can be done at any time without any charges.
