Dear consumers, Yesterday, Ms. Ashwini Naidu, the branch manager of Bank of India, Saligao, refused to honour a cheque presented by our son Suhail.
She wanted the Aadhaar Card (AC) linked to the account. *"We have not made ACs,"* said Suhail. Then sign this declaration stating, *"I do not wish to submit my AC number, for linking it in your bank," *she insisted. Suhail refused, saying that *there was no Supreme Court ruling on it as yet.* When I went to the bank, she told me the same thing, but this time, rudely and arrogantly. We came home, complained to a P P Joshi at the Zonal Office *(2404404,* also 2424627, 2404400). *He admitted that the BOI procedure was incorrect. He apologised profusely for Ashwini's behaviour and phoned her to immediately give us the money.* We went back and told her: *till the 31st December, based on AC linkage, you will never ever refuse to honour a cheque presented by a consumer, in this branch. It is illegal and amounts to a criminal offence of theft.* She was very angry, but had to give us the money. We told her that we have a strong consumer movement in Saligao and Goa and will not tolerate illegalities and arrogance from her. The rest is in the attachment... Warm regards and solidarity, M&M. -- ................................................................ there *is* *anOTHERgoa at:* *<https://www.facebook.com/mario.mascarenhas.967 <https://www.facebook.com/mario.mascarenhas.967>>,<https://www.facebook.com/goa.garbage.struggle <https://www.facebook.com/goa.garbage.struggle>>,*<http://www.an*OTHER* goa.blogspot.in <http://www.anothergoa.blogspot.in/>>, <http://www.saligao.org>, <http://www.youtube.com/anothergoa> ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' muriel & mario, c/o FULKAR, 6/22, sonarbhatt, saligao. bardez. goa. 403511. tel: *0832.2409999* / 9405950605 <anothergoa AT gmail.com> ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
