Hello: There are no guidelines or rules by the RBI regarding VI's operating bank a/c's. In fact, it's high time they considering issuing one, because the number of VI bank users have been on the increase.
Giving the mentioned facilities or denying it, therefore remains the knowledge or ignorance of the officer you are approaching. The problem is, one officer may grant these facilities and may get transferred elsewhere, and if a new officer comes to the branch in which you are operating you're a/c, he/she may deny all of them at one stroke. No arguing will do. This is the status as of now. If possible, all of us can sign a petition demanding the RBI to issue special guidelines or even a PIL.

I am a bachelor so I thought I could open a joint account with any of my relatives or friends. I had also asked for cheque, ATM and Net Banking facility. But unfortunately none of these ware met. What I want to know is 1. if there is any circular from RBI or any competent authority about opening bank account Individual or joint by blind persons, 2. is there any circular to allow or disallow a blind person from having ATM and Net Banking facility? I am thinking of sending an e-mail to Chief General Manager SBI about this incident. Arup To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
