For a change, I will do this thread only in English because this concern every Indian and we need the voice to reach the highest authority. This is regarding @TheOfficialSBI
A branch I know recently sent SMS to old savings A/C holders saying "Dear Customer,There is discrepancy in your Account Opening Form. Plz visit SBI Konnagar with PAN, UID/Voter Card,Photo URGENTLY.For more info contact BM/DBM". The story starts now #NoToNPR #NoToNRC
The branch had no clue why this was being done. Employees said they got a mail from HQ asking them to do this. A close look at the form they gave A/C holders perhaps exposes the reason #NoToNPR #NoToNRC
Page 2. Look at No. 6. @TheOfficialSBI wants to know income, religion, category of A/C holder. But why does it want to know if somebody in his/her family is involved in politics? #NoToNPR #NoToNRC
No. 7 goes a step farther and wants details of the related person if you declare somebody IS "exposed to politics". What gives @TheOfficialSBI, or any bank for that matter, the authority to ask for an individual's details from another? #NoToNPR #NoToNRC
That's not all. Page 1 makes it mandatory to provide Aadhar No. or Aadhar enrolment No. even though the 2018 SC judgement said it can't be made mandatory for opening bank accounts #NoToNRC #NoToNPR
The declaration on page 4, to be signed by A/C holder, is terrifying. Just read No. 1. Bank is shifting responsibility of keeping secrecy of your user id/password/PIN/OTP etc to you. And you are agreeing to the bank closing account without "any notice" to you #NoToNPR #NoToNRC
If you really care about privacy, then read No. 4 #NoToNPR #NoToNRC
In short, this @TheOfficialSBI account opening form is diabolical. Who ordered this? @RBI or @FinMinIndia? And why are A/C holders who became SBI customers 15-20-30 years back being asked to fill this up? What is the hidden agenda? Is it NPR/NRC by another name? #NoToNPR #NoToNRC
I request the following persons to take a look. Also, are there other @TheOfficialSBI branches who are doing this?
