1. Branch Transfer Se Pehle Janne Yogya 4 Ahem Baatein
- Account Number Kabhi Nahi Badalta: Chahe aap Kashmir se Kanyakumari tak branch badal lein, aapka Bank Account Number aur CIF Number hamesha wahi rehta hai.
- IFSC Code Badal Jayega: Naye branch ka apna specific 11-digit IFSC code hota hai, isliye transfer ke baad aapko naye branch ka IFSC code use karna hoga.
- Existing Debit Card & NetBanking Chalti Rahegi: Aapka ATM card, PIN, NetBanking username aur password bina kisi badlav ke pehle jaise chalta rahega.
- Nayi Cheque Book Order Karni Hogi: Purane cheque leaves par purani branch ka naam aur MICR code hota hai, isliye transfer approve hone ke baad naye branch ke naam se nayi cheque book order karni chahiye.
