  40. I am staying in Gandhi Nagar, Gujarat. I went to HDFC bank Info-city branch to open a account in my wife name, the person is not leaving me to open PMDJY account. But i fight with that person, escalated to customer care regarding this.. after 15 days they opened this account in my Wife name.

    Many banks are not leaving the customers to open this PMDJY Account.

  41. Dear Sir

    I have opened an a/c under “Pradhan-mantri Jan Dhan Yojna” in Bank of Baroda “Mullanpur, Garibdas, Punjab” Branch on 16/12/2014 . Account no awarded to me is 46470100002705.

    When I asked for Over draft facility to the bank manager he told me that you will get this facility from your native place only. So I transferred this a/c to Palwal Branch On 21’ Oct 2015, as I am permanent resident of Distt Palwal, Haryana.

    When I visited Palwal branch of Bank of Baroda The bank manager very rudely behaved with me and denied to give me the over drafting facility.

    I made a complaint through BOB net banking (Complaint no 101103), but they only replied to visit the home branch Manager. I again went to the Branch Manager but he again refused to assist me. He said that “ You had made complaint, now I will see who will do your work”. There is a Madam Mrs Rajesh also who misbehaved me.

    Sir, I belong to a poor farmer family and I require this facility very badly. So you are herein requested to please look into the matter and do to me the required favour.

  42. Dear sir
