Hello Friends, I told you the problem with banks will never end and talking about circulars ,there are many which employees forget and VI are discouraged to avail all facilities. The solution could be VI person going through NGO to bank for availing everything given to general customer and regarding signature on cheques ,it will always be difficult for us, the solution could be two signatures on cheque where one is signed by sighted person. To verify. The other person could be joint account Holder or customer with the bank or a bank employee.
Regards, Pankaj Kwatra Mantra- Try most difficult signatures with one or two striking points to remember and rest should be your artistry where sighted person could find it difficult to make out corrector incorrect. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Amar Jain Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 8:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] Regarding my new bank account opening with Standardchartedbank... Hi Prateek To my understanding there is one solution of this problem. Once such circular is issued by the supreme authority in this case say RBI or IBA, then all head offices of the bank should put a seal and sign or whatever to show that the circular is being implemented in their bank, and then the final copy should be circulated amongst people. The reason for this is only one. Any bank staff demands their own bank's circular. So this can be one good option. Right now every bank issue its own internal circular, copy of which is not available generally. And generally such circulars are not updated as per the changed circulars from higher authorities. So if the bank staff sees the seal, they are satisfied mentally.

Hi akhil, I think you no need to apologize for asking this important question. No matter how many times this question has come on the list and answered, the unfortunate part is that the same problem keep persisting again and again with someone or the other amongst us. Coming to your problem, Its ridiculous why these banks makes such specious decisions when it comes to a visually challenged person. >From experience I can tell you that its very much possible to open individual account in any bank, and that too with no special document or formality. We have the wonderful RBI circular and IBA guidelines supporting this, and as you must be knowing, one can obtain all the services of a bank which are being provided to any other customer. The said circular and guideline is available on my website for download. You might like to visit my website at www.prateekagarwal.webs.com or www.prateekagarwal.tk One thing that I'd like to advise you in this regard is, please try talking to bank manager regarding the denial. Also, show them the circular and if still the problem persists, ask the respective authority to give you a written statement about basis of denial. We'll see further from there. A bit away from the context, i'm wondering if something in general can be done regarding this aggravating problem. Since we have many NGOs and their representatives on this list, can a program like this be designed to spread the awareness in bank employees? i often believe that the problem is more about lack of awareness then anything else, and though legal fight is an option, but in my personal opinion, spreading awareness and changing people's attitude can prove more important and handy. I'll be happy to work in association if some NGOs are willing to run such an awareness campaign. At least I can try helping in spreading such an awareness in rajasthan. Regards, Prateek agarwal.
