India Post — Opening of savings account

Address: Kolkata, West Bengal, 700002

Website: www.consumercomplaints.in/new_complaint

I have been told by Paikpara post office, Kolkata, West Bengal that it will take 6-7 working days to open a savings account. I am working in a private organization and have been facing hardship continously since more than one year. As I stay out of Kolkata most of the time it is not possible for me to visit the post office 3-4 times to open an account. However I am forced to open an account in post office as I have to encash my National Savings Certificate (NSC). I feel like I have committed a crime by investing in NSC and hence have discontinued with investing in NSC and am using other tax saving investments.

I am making this complain with the hope that the matter will be taken up and the other citizens of this country is not harassed by the postal department for opening an account. .
