Harishji. even though the RBI has made things clear, the bank officials are looking for any possible loophole. when I applied for a check ook, I had given them the RBI circular. however I was initialy told that a person using a thumb impression can't be issued a checkbook. it was after a lot of argument and struggle, and an intervention from the principal of my college that the PNB idiots finally gave way. it is important we take it up on larger platforms, including the media. in the case brought out through this particular thread, I'ave talked to some friends in the media already, and I would like to get some more details on the issue. best,
