Yes, I also tried on my smartphone but the Punjab National bank is not available on the Google Pay application. Punjab national bank is removed from Google pay android application. This is true. I can see that the PNB bank does not appear on the Google pay application...
Punjab national bank supports for Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) application. Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) is also available on the Google Play store. You should try that. It will help you to make payments and receive payments.
