Mere ko open karna hai pnb ka saving account

Can u please send my Punjab national bank account details; 16 digits account number, customer id, IFSC code, etc. through SMS to my linked mobile number;+91769090963, or through my Email id given under the column. Because I'd lost my bank passbook and I haven't noted down, and also I did not have a cheque book, I had a debit card without chips and that was issued for electronic use only and it is expiring this month, but I really need my 16 digits account number now for some emergency case.
I want to know pnb saving account minimum balance.
