RBI says that 33% of ATMs should be accessible to blind persons, and it is stated on the same circular, which all our friends have mentioned here. now as a branch manager, it does not come in my power to install such ATMs. only my head office can do that. now in writing, i can reply that customer: "I accept your application for ATM card. since, as per the RBI circular our branchdoes not have ATM accessible to blind person, and also in our city there isno ATM installed, which is accessible to the blind person, hence, yourapplication is pending for consideration. as soon as. an accessible ATM will be installed, you will be facilitated ATM card. our hon'ble blind customer unable to operate ATM which exist in our branch, independently, further,this matter has been referred to our authorities." thanking you,----- Original Message ----- From: "B.

They don't create such problems to anyof the blind person. More or less, they are not our enemy sothe issue should be raised before the higher authorities with the helpof various NGO's.

If he/she has to question them, let him represent to central bank orgovernment, for the time, rules are there, he has to comply with them. If we give in to approach of petty functionaries thwarting rules, therewill be no rule of law in this country.Moreover, why does anybody require banking facilities? So, there is norational behind this question. And, about ATM, bank is not responsible anyway for misuse or loss.Check book is another matter, and I have time and again pointed out thelacunae in the policy pertaining to it. So, we can not hold bankers denying it to fault. Regards"Perhaps our role on this planet is not to worship God-- but to createHim." --Arthur C.

Ihaven'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 thehigher authorities as well. but at the end of the day, I had tocomplaint to the RBI, and also to the NHRC and the government of Indiaministry 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 ofanything 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 haveto take the struggle against such horrible institutional nonsense to all possible levels including the media.
