One of the most satisfying moments of my banking career. ❤️
Some time ago, a rural customer visited our branch. He wasn't educated and initially refused to enrol in PMJJBY.
But people in rural areas place immense trust in bank employees. After I patiently explained the scheme to him, he finally agreed.
₹436 was debited as premium.
Unfortunately, he later passed away. 💔
His wife came to our branch only for a normal death claim settlement. She had no idea that her husband had enrolled in PMJJBY.
His account had barely ₹650 — and even that was a significant amount for the family.
She was uneducated, couldn't sign, knew nothing about documentation, and didn't even know how to obtain a death certificate. She had lost her husband and had two children to take care of.
We immediately started helping her. I explained the entire process, sent our sub-staff with her for assistance, completed the paperwork, and personally followed up on the claim.
Around 20 days later, ₹2,00,425 was credited to her account.
The happiness and relief on her face… I still can't explain it in words. ❤️
We couldn't bring her husband back.
But that ₹436 decision gave his family some financial support when they needed it the most.
That day, I genuinely felt proud that my job as a banker could make a difference in someone's life.
Sometimes, the greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that someone's life became a little better because of you. ❤️

🚨 HUGE! RBI CRACKS DOWN ON BANK SMS CHARGES!
RBI has BARRED banks from charging customers for SMS alerts sent for:

This may lead to loss of up to ₹300 crore in fee income for large lenders🤯
Most banks were recovering costs via ₹15-18 per quarter fees.

Pro-consumer move by RBI! Thoughts?
