The Punjab Provincial Cooperative Bank Limited (PPCBL), established in 1924, is one of the oldest banks in Pakistan. It has historically served as a specialized bank catering to the needs of housing and agricultural cooperatives.[1]
History[edit]
PPCBL was established during the British rule and played a major role in providing agricultural credit after partition. However, over time, the bank faced financial challenges and bureaucratic problems.[1]

Legal issues[edit]
In May 2018, a notable scandal involving misappropriation of funds emerged, leading to legal action.[5]
In July 2023 the bank, along with other banks, received fines for violations of the rules.[6]
