Super-Efficient Banking
Today, after visiting the campus SBI for the fourth time, I finally got my Public Provident Fund (PPF) account. The extreme efficiency of the service manager and his minions ought to receive a special mention. If I were ever to be a dictator (currently my students are on the receiving end of such saintly aspirations), my first job will be to remove the words “come tomorrow” from Indian-English dictionary.
Oh, BTW, did you know the new brilliant rule regarding PPF nominations? Well, you need to affix photograph of each nominee and get them to sign the nomination form.
Hey nutjob, what if I don’t want my nominees to know about it? May be I have multiple nominees and they don’t get along. May be I and the nominee are estranged and I don’t want them to know, but I still care about them. Or may be its just too difficult to get the signatures due to the geographic distance. What the heck does SBI need nominee signature and photograph?
