The petition was filed by a senior auditor at one of Punjab National Bank’s Mumbai branches. He stated that both Punjab National Bank and Bank of Baroda were national banks and, to some extent, had achieved international status.
But due to the names, many especially from remote areas were still unsure if these banks were regional or national/international banks.
The petitioner, therefore, prayed that the words ‘Punjab’ and ‘Baroda’ should not be used for the banks’ names.
