What Punjab & Sind Bank does

Smaller public sector bank owned by the Government of India, offering retail and corporate banking mainly in north India.

Earns mostly from the gap between loan interest and deposit costs, with the Government of India holding the large majority of its shares and providing fresh capital when needed, so recapitalisation is a recurring event. Its branches are concentrated in north India.
