If you do not update KYC details within the stipulated time, then your bank account may be banned. However, updating KYC details for a bank account is not mandatory for all customers.
For which PNB customers it is necessary to update KYC
Punjab National Bank said in a statement that KYC update is necessary only for those customers whose bank accounts are to be KYC updated by June 30, 2025.

What is PNB’s periodic KYC updation policy
PNB, the country’s third largest public sector bank in terms of market cap, had also asked its customers to update their KYC in January this year. According to the PNB KYC periodic update policy, the bank adopts a risk-based approach for periodic update of KYC. Periodic update is required to be done at least once every two years for high-risk customers, once every 8 years for moderate-risk customers and once every 10 years for low-risk customers from the date of account opening/last KYC update.
