If you feel "No one has to deform such a pioneer corporate like PNB", the bank should work in guidelines provided by Regulating authority. Being famous or having a vast contribution in economy do not mean that you are good for the society or for every matter, it could be a disease making you a big entity similar to terrorist group (they also play a good role in shaping economy of the world). If some day your employer ask you "why do you need a job?" what would be your answer? Your answer is what the answer should be for the question "Why does he need ATM card and Cheque book and how shall I issue?" though for the how you should issue part, ah please check your manuals, you can not expect a common man to guide you through procedures.
Further, I have had different experience with different branches of PNB and on top of everything have had different opinion from 2 official of the same branch over the question of ATM card and Cheque Book facility to VI customer. I think every year the bank should conduct annual exam or monthly test on circulars and guidelines, failing to which the officer should be sent to training department, failing 3 times in a row should result in expulsion.

RBI framed rules and circulars, but being a Branch Manager, it seems impractical to issue ATM card to the blind customers. Let me argue the matter with the blind customer who is in need of ATM card and cheque book. Why does he need ATM card and cheque book and how shall I issue? Let him convince me. Thanks.
