There was a lot of buzz around this when it was launched, with bytes from the ED of Axis Bank. Our own community member @hiyer is helming this initiative. It was applauded all over social media and yet the reality is very different.
1.Branch employees seemed to have NO idea of this scheme. No awareness that it existed, and no willingness to believe it did until we showed them their own bank's website.
2. Everyone acted super awkard & distanced,which made us feel othered. Not really #DilSeOpen

In Sept 2021, Axis Bank introduced #ComeAsYouAre scheme - a #DilSeOpen charter of policies for LGBTQ+ customers & employees, where same sex partners could open a joint savings bank account. My partner and I went to the 7 B'lows Branch to do this. Here's what happened - (thread)
With all our documents in hand, we visited the branch in New Siddarth CHSL, Seven Bungalows.On entering, we said we wanted to open an account and were directed to a table where there were 2 men & one woman.
The male officers allowed us to sit. The female officer now stood up & continued to stand right behind Bhakti's chair for pretty much the entirety of what followed.We asked how we could open a joint savings bank account. One male officer asked what our relation was to each other
