Sir
Thanks and congratulations for organizing an informative zoom meeting. We could hear it on F.B.
Today we approached our SBI Bank – Sayajigunj Branch – Vadodara. And the Chief Manager told us that they have not received any instructions for opening FCRA a/c in their Sansad Road – New Delhi branch.
Have even forwarded to her the mail about opening such an a/c received from M.H.A – FCRA department about opening this a/c.
We look forward to more such informative meetings.
Thanks & Regards
Thank you.
Re Sayajigunj BM not having any information about opening of Bank Account, suggest you also inform FCRA cell of SBI, Main Branch, Sansad Marg at email id: agmcommercial.00691@sbi.co.in . You may also speak to the concerned officers at New Delhi branch at 011-23374142/23374143/23374184.
