Pallavan Grama Bank came into existence in the year 2006 on the 31st of August with the sponsorship of the Indian Bank.

However, after the amalgamation of these two banks (i.e.) Pallavan Grama Bank was allotted with eleven districts thereby bringing 15 districts of Tamil Nadu wherein the newly formed Pallavan Grama Bank is operating.
