How to Check PNB Balance by Missed Call

The missed-call service is one of the easiest methods because it does not require internet access, a smartphone or an app.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the calling application on your phone.
2. Dial 1800 180 2223 from your registered mobile number.
3. Allow the phone to ring.
4. The call should disconnect automatically.
5. PNB will send an SMS containing your account balance.

Customers outside India can use the tolled number +91 120 2303090.

According to PNB’s official missed-call service page, the facility is free for the toll-free number and is available for savings and current accounts.

If the same mobile number is linked to multiple eligible PNB accounts, the balance SMS may contain information for those accounts.

PNB also states that there should be a gap of at least 45 minutes between two balance enquiries made from the same mobile number.

How to Check PNB Balance by SMS

SMS banking is helpful when you cannot use mobile data but still need your account information.

Type the following message:

BAL <Account Number>

Send it to:

5607040

PNB’s official SMS banking information also lists 9264092640 as an SMS banking number.

For example, if your account number were 015300XXXXXXXXXX, the message would look like this:

BAL 015300XXXXXXXXXX

Send the message only from the mobile number registered with your PNB account. Standard SMS charges from your mobile operator may apply.

The complete account number is sensitive information. Enter it only in the official SMS format and send it only to a number listed on PNB’s official website.

How to Get a PNB Mini Statement by SMS

A balance enquiry tells you how much money is available. A mini statement shows recent transactions, helping you understand why the balance changed.

To request a PNB mini statement, type:

MINSTMT <Account Number>

Send it to:

5607040

You may also use 9264092640, as listed on the official PNB SMS Banking page.

A mini statement can help you check:

1. Recent deposits
2. ATM withdrawals
3. UPI payments
4. Debit-card transactions
5. EMI deductions
6. Charges deducted by the bank

If you need an older or more detailed statement, use PNB ONE, internet banking or the bank’s e-statement facility.

How to Check PNB Balance Through WhatsApp

PNB offers banking services through its official WhatsApp account.

Save this number:

+91 9264092640

Then follow these steps:

1. Open WhatsApp from the number registered with PNB.
2. Send “Hi” to +91 9264092640.
3. Check that the account displays Punjab National Bank’s verified identity.
4. Select the account-related services option.
5. Choose “Balance Inquiry.”
6. Select the required account if more than one account is displayed.

PNB WhatsApp Banking can also provide an account summary, recent transactions and other services. The bank says these services are available around the clock.

Before continuing, look for the verified account indicator. Do not trust another WhatsApp number merely because it displays the PNB name or logo. You can confirm the current number through PNB’s official WhatsApp Banking page.

Check Your Balance Using the PNB ONE App

PNB ONE is Punjab National Bank’s mobile banking application. It is suitable for customers who regularly check balances, transfer money or download statements.

After activating mobile banking:

1. Open the PNB ONE app.
2. Sign in using your MPIN or another enabled login method.
3. Open the account section.
4. Select the required savings or current account.
5. Your balance and account summary should appear on the screen.

You can also use the application to check recent transactions, download account statements, manage cards and access other banking services.

Download the application only through the official link provided on PNB’s website or through a verified app-store listing. Fake banking applications can look similar to genuine ones.

Check PNB Balance Through Internet Banking

Customers registered for PNB internet banking can check their balance from a computer or mobile browser.

1. Visit PNB’s official retail internet banking portal.
2. Confirm that the website address belongs to PNB.
3. Enter your user ID and login password.
4. Complete any required authentication.
5. Open “Account Summary” or the equivalent account section.
6. Select the account whose balance you want to see.

Never enter your banking password after opening a link received through an unknown SMS, email or WhatsApp message. It is safer to type the official address yourself or access internet banking through PNB’s main website.

Check PNB Balance Through UPI

You can also use a UPI app linked to your PNB account.

The steps may differ slightly between applications, but the general process is:

1. Open your UPI application.
2. Go to “Bank Accounts” or “Check Bank Balance.”
3. Select your Punjab National Bank account.
4. Tap “Check Balance.”
5. Enter your UPI PIN.
6. The balance will be shown on the screen.

A UPI PIN is used to approve actions within your UPI application. Never tell it to another person, including someone claiming to be a bank employee.

Check PNB Balance at an ATM

If mobile services are unavailable, visit a PNB ATM or another bank’s ATM.

1. Insert your PNB debit card.
2. Select your preferred language.
3. Enter your ATM PIN privately.
4. Choose “Balance Enquiry.”
5. Select the account type, if requested.
6. View the balance on the screen or request a printed slip.

Balance enquiries at another bank’s ATM may count toward the monthly number of free ATM transactions available under your account and applicable banking rules.

What If the PNB Balance Check Number Is Not Working?

Do not panic if you do not receive the balance SMS immediately. Check these common causes:

Your mobile number is not registered

Missed-call and SMS banking work only when the number is linked to your bank account. Visit your home branch if the number needs to be registered or updated.

You made another request recently

PNB specifies a minimum gap of 45 minutes between two missed-call balance enquiries from the same number.

Your phone has a weak network

Wait for the network to improve and try again. You can also use WhatsApp, PNB ONE, UPI or internet banking.

SMS service is unavailable

Check whether your phone can receive regular messages and whether your inbox has enough space.

Your account is inactive or restricted

Some digital services may not work normally for an inactive, frozen or restricted account. Contact PNB or visit a branch to understand the reason.

For help, call PNB customer care at 1800 1800 or 1800 2021. Global users can call +91 120 2490000. Confirm current details on the official PNB contact page.

Three Safety Tips for PNB Customers

1. Use only official numbers: Check numbers on PNB’s website instead of trusting numbers posted in comments, social-media replies or unverified listings.
2. Never share secret credentials: PNB or its genuine representatives should not ask you to reveal your OTP, ATM PIN, UPI PIN, CVV or internet-banking password.
3. Do not install screen-sharing apps: A fraudster may pretend to help while using remote-access software to view your banking activity.

A Real-World Example

Suppose Neha is standing at a pharmacy and needs to check whether her salary has reached her PNB account. Her mobile data is not working, and there is no ATM nearby.

She calls 1800 180 2223 from her registered mobile number. The call disconnects automatically, and she receives her balance by SMS. She can now make the purchase without guessing whether enough money is available.

This is where missed-call banking is especially useful: it provides essential information without requiring internet access.
