Date 12.11.2008
Sub: - Tier III Group Discussion and Interview for Probationary Officer of State Bank of India (Roll No- [protected] SBI PO Tier-I & II exam was held on 27/4/2008).

Respected Sir,
With reference to the above subject I beg to state that I have applied for the post of Probationary Officer in State Bank of India. The written exam (both Tier-I & II) was held on 27/4/2008. I have received the call letter for the Tier-III Group Discussion and Interview on 30/8/2008 afternoon. The interview was scheduled on 27/8/2008. After receiving the call letter on 30/08/2008 afternoon, I have attended the interview venue at Local Head Office, State Bank of India, Kolkata on 31/08/2008. I have requested for taking the interview on that date or rescheduling the interview to CRPD through telephone. As I was on official tour for the implementation of handloom mark scheme to few remote villages in west Bengal, I was unable to see the result on the internet or in paper.
The same request for rescheduling the interview was repeated over several times through telephone calls, emails, faxes and letters from 31/08/2008 onwards (copy attached—Attachment-I).
Finally I got a reply from CRPD, Mumbai on 16/10/2008 (copy attached---- Attachment -II). In that reply letter my corresponding PIN code no was written wrongly.
The synopsis of the case is given below.
1. Advertisement for the post of PO in SBI was published in The Employment News during Feb, 2008 (Adv. No. CRPD/PO/2007/10)
2. Tier-I & II exam was conducted on 27/04/2008. (Roll No. [protected]).
3. Result of Tier-I & II was published in leading newspapers from 11/08/2008 onwards (as mentioned in their letter no. 1039 dated on 16/10/2008).
4. Result was published in The Employment News/ Rozgar Samachar issued dated 23/08/2008.
5. The interview was scheduled from 25/08/2008 to 31/08/2008 (Kolkata Office).
6. In the website it has been mentioned that Tier-III was conducted during August-September, 2008. I have attended LHO, Kolkata on 31/08/2008. Then why I was not given a chance to sit for Tier-III
7. The schedule of interview for my Roll No. [protected] was on 27/08/2008.
8. On 27/08/2008, there was a Bandh, called by JDP which affected the normalcy of common transportation system in few districts of West Bengal, including my native district Hooghly (nearer to SINGUR). (Newspaper cuttings were already being submitted to CRPD).
9. As I was on official tour to few remote villages in west Bengal, I was unable to see the result on internet or in paper.
10. After receiving the call letter on 30/08/2008 afternoon, I have attended the interview venue at local head office of State Bank of India, stand road Kolkata on 31/08/2008.
11. I have requested to have the interview on 31/08/2008 or rescheduling the interview to any other date to somewhere else.
12. Call letter is dated on 2/08/2008. But Mumbai post office seal was stamped on 12/08/2008 (a delay of Ten days might have resulted in not getting the call letter in time). Hawakhana (my native Post Office) post office seal was stamped on 30/08/2008 and I have received the letter on 30/08/2008.
13. I have received reply from dy. G.M, CRPD, Mumbai on 16/10/2008 (vide email).
14. In the reply letter from dy. G.M, CRPD, Mumbai on 16/10/2008, my corresponding address is given wrong.
15. May be for this kind of careless mistake I was deprived of getting the call letter in time.
Thus I shall be highly obliged if you kindly look into the matter and take necessary steps so that I can attend the Tier-III Group Discussion and Interview.
Thanking you,
Yours’ faithfully,

i had forgot my account number can you please say me the process of knowing my account number.

Hi
this is Halim Ahmed from Murajhar, Dist.Nagaon, Assam--782439.I hereby by just like to draw the attention about Murajhar Branch(dist.Nagaon, Assam, Pin-782439) and it's Manager attitude and manner to common men.this is not only me but more then thousands people who already visited more then thouands times to Murajhar Branch for getting a oppening account form but all the times the Manager of Murajhar SBI Branch sentback the general people by saying that THE FORM IS YET NOT ABAILABLE and this statement is being repeated by him(Manager of Murajhar SBI Branch) since last one year.
If this statement is true (that the form is not abailable) then we could accept it, but we became more surprise when we found that some people were purchasing this form from Murajhar Bazar(Local Market) by means of Rs.50/per form.
BY NOT GIVING THE FORM TO US ITS MEANS THAT WE ARE BEING DEPRIVED BY MURAJHAR SBI BRANCH MANAGER TO BECOME A CUSTOMER OF MURAJHAR SBI BRANCH.
So its a request from our mass people of Murajhar to take some neccessary and urgent steps sothat Murajhar General people should not be suffer in future any more.

Onbehalf of Murajhar's people

i am from jamshedpur and i have forgot my net bankling passsword how can i get my new password

I am an SBI “International” Credit Card Holder, Card No: [protected] who would kindly like to seek your kind attention towards the following major grievances regarding SBI Cards:
1. False Commitments made by executives of SBI Cards!
2. Highly uncooperative and misleading responses of call centre executives of SBI Cards!
3. Lack of access to grievance readressal cells and officials of SBI Cards for existing account holders!
4. Lack of availability of pronounced guidelines regarding account closure for existing account holders!
5. Withdrawal of services to existing card holders without any intimation!
6. Discourteous behaviour of associates of SBI Cards!

In my account statement dated 4th of June 2008, the total outstanding balance was Rs 8, 281.74/- (Eight thousand two hundred eighty one rupees and seventy four paisa only). During my tenure o[censored]sage of the card, the service provider SBI Card has always remained a faceless organisation and I have always faced extreme difficultly in escalating any issue or concern to the appropriate authority through the ill trained and uncooperative call centre executives.

As a consequence I decided to close my account permanently by cancelling my credit card and making a full and final payment. I called up the call centre to inquire about the process but the only response which I got repeatedly was that: “You cannot close the card on your own will; it can only happen if certain criteria are met up”. On enquiring about the criteria no information was shared with me by the call centers executives.

In the end of June 2008, when an executive/ associate from SBI Card called me up inquiring about the payment status, I re-expressed my intention of closing the card. The call was made from [protected] and the executive after a series of discussions & negotiations intimated me if I pay a full and final settlement amount of Rs 5, 000.00 (Rupees Five Thousand only), the balance Rs 3, 281.74/- (Three thousand two hundred eighty one rupees and paisa seventy four only) would be waived off. On asking for a written confirmation of the same, he assured me that once the payment is realised the organisation would send me a written confirmation regarding the waiver and the adjustment in the balance would be effected within a period of 45 (forty five) days.

I subsequently made the payment of Rs 5, 000/- on an immediate basis on 2nd July 2008. Thereafter no monthly statements were couriered and no telephonic calls were made to me either, from SBI Card and I had completely stopped making any kind of transaction with the Card.

However to my enormous surprise and utter disgust I started receiving repeated calls again from associates of SBI Cards in the month of November 2008. The calls were made from [protected] and the executive informed me that my card is still active and no adjustments (waiver) has been made in the balance post my last payment of Rs. 5, 000/-.

He also informed that the current balance in my account as of 4th Nov 2008 was Rs. 6, 268.78/- (Six thousand two hundred sixty eight rupees and seventy eight paisa only) which needs to be paid. Based on the discourteous behaviour and the update provided by the executive, I called up the call centre to understand the reason as to why the false promises were made to me in the recent past BUT IN VAIN.

The current state of affairs is that on one hand, I am continuously calling up the call centre executives and sending feedback e-mails to understand the process of making a full and final settlement but nobody is providing me with any guidance at all. On the other hand, I am receiving dismayed calls enquiring about the payment of the outstanding balance.

My exercise of running from pillar to post is leading to loss of valuable time and unnecessary compounding of interest on my outstanding balance. If the acts of relying on the words of an executive of a world class organisation and working accordingly is REWARDED in this manner, then how would we as common people keep faith in the goodwill of SBI Cards and in particular in State Bank of India!

I however still am hopeful and expect justice from your end in the above-mentioned issues as to IMMEDIATE SETTLEMENT AND CLOSURE OF THE CARD.
