India Ratings and Research stated that the upgrade reflects the agency's expectation of PNB Housing Finance (PNBHF) receiving timely support in terms of liquidity and equity from Punjab National Bank (PNB), with PNB maintaining its stake in PNBHF and sharing the brand name.
The rating also reflects PNBHF's position among India's top housing financiers, having seen multiple business cycles.
Moreover, PNBHF has demonstrated consistent improvement in profitability and asset quality and has achieved granularisation of the loan book. It has raised funding at competitive rates and maintained adequate liquidity buffers.
India Ratings expects the entity's credit cost to remain modest in the near to medium, given the tightened underwriting norms and retail & granular nature of its loan book.
However, the performance of its affordable housing finance portfolio, which is at a nascent stage with high growth, remains a monitorable.
PNBHF is a deposit-accepting housing finance company registered under NHB and the Companies Act, 1956. It provides housing loans to individuals for the purchase, construction, repair, and upgrade of houses. It also provides loans against property, loans for commercial property, and loans for purchase of residential plots, and real estate development loans. PNBHF has 356 branches/outreaches mainly located across metro, Tier I and Tier II cities across India. It had dedicated 198 branches for affordable business as on 30 September 2025.

Valued Customer,
BOB Capital Markets Limited (BOBCaps) is firmly committed to the safety of your wealth. We would like to bring to your notice certain precautions that you certainly must take against potential tele-fraudsters/ unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers:
ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
