Whilst it is true that they verify the document by clicking the photograph, but do note that they also verify the signature from your PAN records which is accessible to banking companies from the ITD directly.

Further, their CBS softwares are capable of handleing different signature patterns and detect counterfeiting if any. That is how in fact cheques are also authenticated for signatures in CTS.

Legally they are not wrong in requesting customer for physical KYC due to usage of biometrics i.e. thumb impression.

This is what I was told by both Standard Chartered and American
Express. So its not really about the signature, as the application is
anyways taken online. So, ICICI shouldn't create much fuss really. You
should surely not let it go, fight it out, they do have processes to
get cards issued to blind person, just that most people dealing with
it aren't aware of the same.

Bharat-authenticating thumb impression on a video kyc is not possible.

CEO or nodal officer or compliance officer can correct the situation before
it gets escalated.

Letting RBI know only helps from the perspective of data collection
perspective.

I generally wonder, how are people who put their signature instead of
a thumb impression are more reliable & trustworthy. Even the blind
people, if they can't  vouch for their own signature, which most of
them cannot, how & why are they should be taken at the face value?

The entire world seems to be against those who don't sign but use
their thumb impression to authenticate themselves.

Thank you,

Isn't that hillarious? the CEO of the bank needs to authorise extreme dangerous concern of the issuance of a credit card to a blind person! Wow, I am seriously impressed. Every 2 days I receive a call asking me why did I not complete my KYC? As soon as I tell them of my blindness. They tell me they would check & get back. & of course, they never get
back.

Thank you,

Bharat.

Bharat-very interesting!

I Did apply but when they said that follow physical process, I left it.

One advice I would have given was to write to the CEO and then approach
RBI.
But since you have already filed, then let’s wait.

In the mean time, you can also use ICICI's social media pages to
highlight the issue. Post comments to some of their posts, then send
a
private message detailing the issue. Also, keep the channels opened with the higher authorities in the bank, the nodal officer, principal nodal officer, and also try finding out the CEO desk mail ID and let them know about the issue. Based on my experience, the people at the
higher levels at ICICI, seem to be more sensitive and sensible.

I'm also puzzled how they are stating that physical KYC is no more.
I just did physical KYC in HDFC by visiting to the branch
yesterday.
On the other hand, I had applied for am Icici card couple of months
back
but
had not got any update concerning my application though.
Probably internally they might have discontinued physical KYC and
please
ask
them to provide circular/notification from the RBI or from Icici
itself.

I have heard from ICICI regarding my request. As expected, they

Please have a look at the below mail:

---------

Dear Customer,

Greetings from ICICI Bank.

Hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe.

We sincerely regret for the delay in response and inconvenience
caused
to
you.



Based on our record your application is not eligible for video
KYC.



In case you wish to do video KYC, we suggest cancelling the
application and applying again. You can opt for Video KYC in the
new
application.



However, please be informed that the cancellation request will
take
7
working days to get processed and the application will be
de-linked
in
another 7 working days.



Hence you can apply again only post 14 working days. Please
revert
back to us with your confirmation and we shall raise a request
for
cancellation.

Please be informed that due to RBI guidelines, Physical KYC is
permanently closed. You can only apply through Video KYC if
Aadhaar
linked with your mobile number and complete address updated in
your
Aadhaar.


Looking forward to more opportunities to be of service to you

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve.

Bank Digitally and Stay Safe!

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Bharat,
Please note the date on which you have made a complaint to
ICICI
bank.
On 30th day of filing complaint with ICICI bank approach RBI
Ombudsman
via CMS portal. The link is available on RBI's official
website.
While
registering the complaint mention that you have approached the
bank
on
which date; your declaration in this regard may suffice. You
may
choose to attach any other document/communication such as mail
regarding schedule of KYC call or application copy. If you
don't
have
any document you may submit the complaint without any
attachment
also.
This pressurises the bank to act with urgency.

Hi,

Here is the update on this. My Kyc has now been rescheduled
for
the
3rd time. On each of these days, let alone the represetative
visit,
I
haven't even received a phone call from anyone.

I have also written to ICICI on their website for the 1st
level
complaint but to no avail as no one got back to me.
Considering,
ICICI
did not send me a copy of my submission to me despite asking
for
my
email ID at the time of submitting my request, I don't even
have
a
proof of my submission.

I called up the Amazon customercare who assured me that they
have
raised my concern to the verification department & have lined
up
my

technically
have
no

Subject: [AI] KYC for banking facilities for the blind


Hi all,

I recently filled up the online application for the
Amazon
ICICI
credit card & was presented with the video KYC option.
Once
I
opted
for that, the representative refused to conduct my KYC
once
she
realised me being blind. She instead suggested me to opt
for
the
home
document collection option.

I have scheduled the home collection thrice but no one
has
come
up
for
it till now.

I would like to know, if the video KYC is not for the
blind.
&
if
yes,
then what are the rules for it.

Thank you,

Bharat.
