Hi,
First, report the same to the next higher authorities and top managements of the banks. Write about the same on their face book and other social media pages. Top management is usually sensitive to customer complaints, especially when reported in writing and on public platforms. Finally, the matter can be reported to the banking ombudsman who will seek explanation from the banks. Some NGO can take up the task of filing RTIs with all the banks to see if they have issued any internal circulars in this regard. If such internal circulars are quoted, even the branch officials may act promptly. Mostly, it is lack of awareness amongst the front line staff which makes them hesitant to provide services. Unfortunately, we are far from the ideal situation where all the banking employees should be aware of this and there shouldn't be any need for this kind of exercise. If anyone is ready to take up a systematic exercise as I have mentioned, I am ready to contribute in an advisory role.
