[Resolved]  Canara Bank & State Bank of India — Refusal to provide Demand Draft

Address:South Delhi, Delhi

We were supposed to buy a DD (Demand Draft) payable at Canara bank or SBI. We went to a Canara bank branch anda SBI branch (Canara Bank SDO, SBI - IIT D). We were turned down in both because we didnt have accounts in them. There does not seem to be any rule stating that a Demand Draft should be bought from a branch in which we have accounts, Why is that we were refused sighting some reason that does not exist? Or if there is such a reason, then dosen't it defeat the purpose of DD (as against a cheque)? If such government organizations continue to turn down customers, then they are pushing them to privatized sectors willingly. Its time the old people in the government sector woke up from their slumber to honor customer demands and not provide scapegoats.

State Bank of India — Refusal to honour DD

sir,
I have taken DD No 508515 from SBH New Boiguda Branch of Secunderabad for Rs.5000/- on 01/08/2009 drawn on SBI, Sirsi Branch of Karnataka state.
When it is presented in clearing to SBI Sirsi Branch, they returned with comment " Hand written instrument on computer stationery"
Now the question is who is responsible for this.
1)SBH for writting the DD in hand instead of printing? OR
2)SBI for not honouring the DD in clearing?
3)Is it compulsory that DDs should be in computer printed and not handwritten at any cost?
This has to be answered by concerned banks and also compensate for loss suffered by the undersigned.
