SBI manager rejects new bank account application citing staff shortage in Nakhatrana, Kutch

Kutch: An unprecedented case came to light today when a man visited a bank to open a new account, and his application was rejected on the grounds of staff shortage.

The incident occurred today when Vipul visited the SBI (State Bank of India) Nakhatrana branch with a written application to open a new account. However, the branch manager allegedly rejected the application and provided the reason for rejection in writing. On the application, the manager wrote, “Due to shortage of staff, not able to open the account today.” The manager not only wrote this but also signed and stamped it.

A video of this incident was shared by a social media user on X (formerly Twitter), in which the applicant was seen recording the manager as he rejected his new account application.

In the reply of the tweet, SBI wrote, “Inconvenience caused is regretted. The situation is being apprised to concerned officials for early resolution. However, kindly note that photography/ videography inside the branch premises is prohibited due to security reasons as it may be misused for any unauthorized purpose.”

Another user also pointed out this problem in a tweet stating, “SBI, nakhatrana, kachchh, gujarat, bank don’t have account opening personnel, I am visiting bank for last 4 days, they are not responding to me….” DeshGujarat
