[Resolved]  State Bank Of India — Delay in local cheque clearing

Address:

Pune, Maharashtra

I am a senior citizen and an old customer of SBI at Pune, PAUD ROAD. Kothrud Area- BRANCH CODE -9061 Since the CTS system of cheque clearing has come in to existence the local cheques take almost a week to get cleared .Also Cheques above the value of two lacs are treated as out station cheques and sent to MUMBAI CLEARING HOUSE even for a next door branch of any other bank and are charged exorbitantly .They too take one full week for getting cleared and the charges are UNDER the head of "SPEED CLEARING CHARGES " Every time this happens .The customer has to go to branch and give a written application for the unfair charges and their reversal. This is too cumbersome for the customer especially senior citizens like me is there any solution to this? Sunanda Bal
