Tried Opening Joint Cent Queen Account – Faced Weird Objection on Address!
Visited a metro city branch of CBI (Central Bank of India) on Monday with her to open a Joint Cent Queen Savings Account.
Initially, the staff outright refused saying "Cent Queen can't be opened in joint names."
After showing them the official circular confirming joint accounts are allowed, they agreed and handed over the form.
I filled the form and attached all required documents.
Then came the weird twist –
On the Additional Page – Inspection Report for Personal Customers, I honestly mentioned my current residential address, which is about 200 km away from the branch.
After seeing that, the staff refused to proceed, saying:
> “We need a local address. We can’t open an account for someone living so far, as we have to conduct address verification.”
I told them I don’t have any local address in that city, so I had to drop the plan.
Honestly, it was one of the worst bank experiences I’ve had in a while. 👎
Anyone else faced this kind of issue with CBI or other banks when opening accounts away from their home address?
