Evolution
The Regional Rural Banks(RRBs) were conceptualised by the Narsimham committee in 1975 to combine the local feel and familiarity of rural problems characteristic of cooperatives with the professionalism and large resource base of commercial banks. Subsequently, the RRBs were set up through the promulgation of RRB Act of 1976.

Pandyan Grama Bank, under the sponsorship of Indian Overseas Bank came into existence on 09.03.1977 with its Head Office at Sattur, covering undivided Ramanathapuram and Tirunelveli districts.
