The One Address Proof Norm

The RBI has now issued clear instructions to banks regarding the requirement of one proof of address whether permanent or current to open a bank account.

So if any banker still insists on submission of a proof of address for the current address even when you produce a proof of permanent address, you know that you can put him on the mat. Just escalate your complaint.

Now opening an account in a place you have gone to study in, work in, stay with relatives or where you own a business in, have property in etc.becomes easy.

Just be sure to hold bankers accountable.
