Yes that's excellent advice I did not realize is possible here - apply electronically and have them reject it that way on record. Brilliant. Still, thereafter you need to have somewhere to take that evidence to who can hold them accountable anyway, and without you giving an arm and a leg to accomplish.
I've learnt the hard way that while I might get excited about collecting evidence, often the channels we have don't really care about justice. That happened when I lost my job at First National Bank in South Africa. They first appeared to innocently rename my role as back-office assistant by first narrowing it down to switchboard operator, then revoking that as a bank function which gives way to IVR systems. I recorded my exit interview which proved they were only box-ticking past accessibility requirements. Still, I could not fight because they had money and power and I had none. -----Original Message----- From: accessindia@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of BHAWANI SHANKAR VERMA Sent: Saturday, December 9, 2023 10:33 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Singnature required for banking facilities?
