⚠️ Official Website: The correct official website for PNB recruitment is pnbindia.in. The source listed "pnb.bank.in" which appears to be incorrect — do not use it. Always apply through pnbindia.in only. ResultDekho has corrected this in all links on this page.

🏦 What is Local Bank Officer (LBO)?

LBO = Local Bank Officer — a region/state-specific bank officer role at Punjab National Bank. Unlike a regular PO (Probationary Officer) who can be posted anywhere in India, an LBO is recruited for and deployed in a specific state or region. As a result, proficiency in the local language of that region is mandatory — tested through a separate Local Language Test in the selection process. LBO is a permanent public sector banking job at the officer grade.
