[Resolved]  PNB — Opening an Account Most Difficult

I live in Sarojini Nagar and wanted to open a savings bank A/c in the branch located in Sarojini Nagar Market, New Delhi. I went to obtain an application and was asked to come next day. The next day I again went was handed a form in Hindi. When I asked for a form in English the rude lady told me that forms are available in hindi. When I inquired what are the documents and formalities she was most reluctant in helping me, nevertheless said that a guranter's signature is required.

After much difficulty I was able to locate a guranter and obtan her signature and went to the bank on the following day. After waiting for a lot of time when finally my turn came, the same lady officer returned the form saying that the guranter has not signaed at the appropriate place. She didn't check the other documents/detail.

After obtaining the guranter's signature I went to the bank the next day. The lady over there told me that copy of PAN card is also required. After taking a copy of the PAN card I again went to the bank. This time the lady and another lady after checking the application form told me that the guranter is a student and therefore his gurantee is not valid. This she should have checked at the begining. I was at my wits end and there and then in front of everyone I tore my application form and returned back.

To hell with PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK
