ANSWER: New Bank of India
 
The New Bank of India which was running at a loss was united with the Punjab National Bank in September 1993.

The Government of India nationalized New Bank of India in 1980. Punjab National Bank acquired New Bank of India in 1993.

No other nationalized bank in India has been merged into another bank (except for State Bank of India with its associate banks).
