Solution 1:[1]

Add pointer-events:none; property to the .banner-div class.

Solution 2:[2]

One possibility would be to give the .bannerheading the style pointer-events: none;, though this will make it impossible to select the text in .bannerheading:

.banner-container {
    min-height: 300px;
    position: relative;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.banner-container .banner-box {
    border-radius: 12px;
    min-height: 350px;
    background-color: #1C2841;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.banner-container .banner-box .banner-div {
    top: 50%;
    height: auto;
    -ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
    -webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
    -moz-transform: translateY(-50%);
    -o-transform: translateY(-50%);
    transform: translateY(-50%);
    padding: 20px;
    z-index: 3;
    border-radius: 12px;
    border:1px solid red;
}
.banner-div {
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    z-index: 999;
    top: 34%;
    padding: 10px;
    pointer-events: none;
}
.banner-container .banner-box .banner-div .bannerheading {
    color: #fff;
}

banner-container .banner-box .banner-img {
    min-height: 350px;
    border-radius: 12px;
    -webkit-transition: all .3s ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: all .3s ease-in-out;
    -ms-transition: all .3s ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: all .3s ease-in-out;
    transition: all .3s ease-in-out;
    -webkit-transform: scale(1);
    -ms-transform: scale(1);
    -moz-transform: scale(1);
    transform: scale(1);
}
.banner-img {
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 300px;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
}
<div class="banner-container">
    <div class="banner-box">
        <div class="banner-div">
            <div class="bannerheading">
                <p><span>The correct link should be&nbsp;</span></p>
            </div>
        </div>
        <a href="https://www.google.com/">
            <div class="banner-img" style="background-image:url('https://ssl.gstatic.com/gb/images/i1_1967ca6a.png');">
            </div>
        </a>
    </div>
</div>

You can solve this in two ways

1.You can add z-index and position:relative for z-index to get applied.

2.You can add pointer-events:none
