Hello Pavan, You are right, that As per the RBI direction you should be provided with the cheque book facility, however, banks still hesitate to offer the service as there still exist challenges regarding cheque clearance on thumb impression as the new CTS system does not have the capability of doing so. More over RBI, IBA directions have been reiterated several times, however, none of the banks have focused on designing SOPs for third party cheque clearances on thumb impression so far. What I understand is you need the cheque book on urgent basis, and you need a canceled cheque for submitting to the salary section in your company. This requirement can be fulfilled by the bank verified statement as an interim solution. Feel free to connect offline if you require any assistance in opening account in Union Bank of India, we will facilitate the account opening process and will get the cheque book issued as well.

I hold an account with the Indian Bank, and I have been repeatedly denied this facility despite it being mandatory for my salary. I am visually impaired and have been told by the bank employees that it could be misused. They have instead insisted that a passbook is sufficient for a salary account. As a visually impaired person, I have been greatly inconvenienced by this denial of service, especially as I have now relocated to a different city and require this facility urgently. I would like to bring to your attention that according to RBI guidelines, banks are obligated to provide visually impaired persons with the same services as they would to any other person without discrimination. Ref: The RBI, vide circular DBOD. No. Leg BC.91/09.07.005/2007-08 dated 4th June 2008. I kindly request your assistance in this matter and also ask if you could suggest any government bank that issues cheque books with new accounts quickly. Please note that I do not wish to engage in legal battles as I have less time and find it to be expensive against persons from lower income groups. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time and assistance.
