One of India's largest and most significant industries is banking. Over the last 20 years, this industry in India has experienced tremendous growth and development. One important instrument that has assisted numerous banks in recovering from losses and insolvency is mergers and acquisitions. As part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's $5 trillion economic goal, Punjab National Bank merged with United Bank of India and Oriental Bank of Commerce. PNB 2.0 (Punjab National Bank 2.0) is the name of the combined company. There will be specific interoperable services available with PNB 2.0. With regard to the client experience, PNB 2.0 will strive to be a truly next-generation bank that offers cutting-edge services and products that are developed and provided using the newest technologies. The profitability, growth, liquidity, and valuation ratios are examined in this study to determine whether Punjab National Bank has expanded after the merger. The study's findings show that the bank's post-merger financial performance is noticeably superior to its pre-merger performance. Punjab National Bank benefits as a result of the merger.
