I WORK IN UNION BANK OF INDIA AND AM PRESENTLY POSTED IN MAHABALESHWAR BRANCH. THE NEAREST CURRENCY CHEST IS IN SBI MAHABALESHWAR BRANCH,BUT THE BANK DENIES TO RECEIVE CASH REMITTANCE AND EVEN DO NOT RESPOND PROPERLY TO EVEN NATIONALIZED BANKS. THEY OFTEN SAY THAT WE MUST CONTACT THE CURRENCY CHEST OF UNION BANK OF INDIA WHICH IS IN MIRAJ(SANGLI DISTRICT, APPROX-170 KM) RATHER THAN SBI WHICH IS AT LESS THAN 500 METERS. THEY ONLY RECEIVE CASH REMITTANCE ONCE IN A WEEK THAT TOO AFTER SHOWING THEIR SUPERIOR ATTITUDE. THEY RECEIVE CASH FROM THEIR OWN BRANCHES WHICH ARE 30-40 KMS AWAY. NOW IT HAS BECOME HUGE PROBLEM FOR US TO HOLD SUCH A HUGE AMOUNT OF CASH. ALSO THEY DENY TO DISTRIBUTE COINS TO OUR BANK FOR US TO DISTRIBUTE AMONGST THE CUSTOMERS. THEY DON’T EVEN PROVIDE US FRESH CURRENCY. THEY EVEN CHARGE US TO TAKE CASH REMITTANCE. BEING THE CURRENCY CHEST OF THE LOCATION THEY SHOULD CO-OPERATE TO THE NATIONALISED BANKS AT-LEAST. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE SOME ARRANGEMENT WITH THEM BUT THEY DO NOT RESPOND/ACKNOWLEDGE PROPERLY.
