Have you lately created a Punjab National Bank account? According to your account opening preferences, the account opening kit includes a passbook, ATM card, and online banking kit. You must first activate your ATM card before making any transactions with it.
The ATM PIN is included in the package. You must go to an ATM and enter the card into the machine slot to activate the card. The card will be activated and you will be able to use it for future purchases after entering the PIN and resetting a new PIN.
However, with the developments in the Indian banking sector, Punjab National Bank developed a new capability to generate PNB ATM/Debit Card PINs without the need of PIN mailers.
It saves both time and money. PNB’s Green PIN idea is applicable to both freshly issued and existing cards. If a PNB Cardholder forgets their PIN, they can use the Green PIN features to obtain a duplicate PIN.
Generate PNB GREEN PIN
The Green PIN is given to every account holder who applies for a PNB Debit card when the card is delivered. The Green PIN OTP will be sent to your registered cellphone number.
If you didn’t get the Green PIN or OTP after receiving the debit card, you can activate the card by sending an SMS to 5607040 with the text “DCPIN Card Number.”
On your cellphone number, you will receive a 6-digit OTP that is good for 72 hours. This OTP may be used to quickly set the PNB Debit Card PIN.
Method 1: Without Internet Banking, Reset PNB ATM Debit Card PIN

Method 2: Reset the PIN on a PNB ATM Debit Card Using an ATM

The screen will display a message asking you to enter your preferred 4-digit ATM PIN. Click on press here after entering the new PIN. For confirmation, you must re-enter the same 4-digit PIN.
