  5. Dear Sir,

    We have tried to open account in Punjab National Bank, Indirapuram Branch , Ghaziabad under Jan Dhan Yojna. They are saying you need to have Adhar Card to open account. We have gas pass book as residence proof and pan card as id proof.

    Is it sufficient?

  6. the motto behind jandhan yojna is not going to fulfill because real people are not getting chance and the people who are having account and are above poverty line are standing in Q for opening pmjdy ac just because of the 5000 they will get after opening account. i think the clear information should be given to people that its not free money and people who have an account they don’t need to opnen another account.

    सर

    मुझे लोन की जरुरत हे
    आप हमारी मदत करो की हम लोन का लाभ केसे उठा सकतें हें ।

    क्या कपडे की दुकान के लिए हमे 5 लाख का लोन मिल सकता हे , हमारे पास जमिन नही हे न ही घर हमारा हे ।
    बिना किसी सुरक्षा के लोन मिल सकता हे।
