Punjab National Bank Signed MOU for Co-Lending arrangement with IIFL Home Finance Limited:

To align with the Government of India reform agenda and improve the flow of credit to the unserved and underserved sector of the economy, Punjab National Bank has entered into a Co-Lending arrangement with IIFL Home Finance Limited.
