Providing such types of facilities to a great extent depends upon the
branch
manager. It largely depends upon the attitude of the person at least at
the
initial stage. Since my college is having its account in Corporation bank,
so out of compulsion I also had to open my account in the same bank.
Initially the branch manager tried to create some hurdles but at a later
stage he was convinced and currently I'm availing ATM+Internet
banking+Credit Card facility and that too without showing any RBI/IBA
circular/guidelines.

Would recommend Corporation Bank, which is head quartered out of
Mangalore. They are pretty good in terms of providing cards ATMs and
even internet banking -absolutely no discrimination or questions over
one's disability. Also, till this march they give a credit card without
any processing fee. So pl approach a branch in your city if interested.

Subject: Re: [AI] Difficulties in Banking
dear Mr. Verma. .
surprised to know someone has something nice to say about PNB. I
haven't find many other organizations as obnoxious as PNB is. I had a
real struggle to get my ATM card from PNB. in fact, I'd contacted the
higher authorities as well. but at the end of the day, I had to
complaint to the RBI, and also to the NHRC and the government of India
ministry of finance to get my card. after all that, I got my card
after a good 7 months. recently too, I had a terrible time with the
PNB, when I applied for a check book. as I already mentioned, this
happened after I submitted the RBI circular on the rights of the
disabled on banking facility.
and then we all have the story of a visually challenged being asked to
provide a NOC from the parents to avail an ATM card. have you heard of
anything more obnoxious?
banks in general, and PNB in particular have a horrible record when it
comes to acknowledging the rightful claims of the disabled. so we have
to take the struggle against such horrible institutional nonsense to
all possible levels including the media.

Hello all,
I am surprised to note various complaints against PNB in this list. I
am
availing all the banking facilities, such as cheque book, debit card,
credit
card, internet banking, etc. PNB does not ignore the blind community,
hence
if any problem occurs, it may be communicated to the higher
authorities of
PNB with the name and designation of the concerned officer.
Thanks.
