Dear Shri Vijay and others, Different Nationalized Banks have already issued circulars to provide chequebooks to visually challenged customers, who can not sign consistently for specific purpose e.g. repayment of loan installments or for the payment of utility bills. Only problem is that Bank Managers have been guided in the said circulars to put their GBPA Number and signatures to verify the thumb impression of such customers on each cheque leaf and Bank Managers are not willing to carry an additional responsibility. This is the reason that most of the banks are avoiding to issue chequebooks to visually challenged customers. However, in some cases, Bank Managers are ignorant of this provision. I have also arranged soft copies of such circulars issued by PNB to few of our list members on their request.
Therefore, it is my personal opinion that views of our different members should be sought to solve this issue effectively. With good wishes.
