The history dates back to the year 1908, when three visionary Gursikhs Bhai Sahib Bhai Veer Singh, Sir Sunder Singh Majitha and Sardar Tarlochan Singh aimed to uplift the economic poverty of the poor. This far sightedness gave birth to Punjab & Sind Bank in the holy city of Amritsar. Since then times have gone by and the bank recently celebrated their 100 years of establishment.

The Bank is also unique as it gave a chance for sikhs to showcase their financial acumen and the all round personality of the Khalsa (a saint, a worldly man, a sewak, a fighter etc.). The Bank was adjudged No.1 in medium sized banks in Business Today in 2008 survey. Through these years the bank grew up and their unique feature has been sikh calendar which they release every year.
This year the calendar theme selectors have done an excellent job by focusing on sikh martial hero Baba Banda Singh Ji Bahadur. The 2010 sikh calendar starts up with the story and pciture of Madho Das Bairagi(who later ttook amrit from panj pyaraas and was named Banda Singh Bahadur by 10th Guru Sahib) in the feet of Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj.
At this juncture when sikhs have forgotten their legendary hero and some Brahmanistic fraction which are trying to steal the sikh shaheed by distorting history (for example naming Baba Banda Singh Ji Bahadur as Banda Bairagi etc.) this step is indeed worthy of praise. All these years these calendar have been very effective medium of sikh message.
We wish Punjab & Sind Bank a very bright future. To know more about the services offered by Punjab & Sind Bank visit http://www.psbindia.com/
