POSTOFFICE
REFUSAL TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM SAVINGS BANK A/C

DEAR SIR,

I AM MAINTAINING A SAVINGS BANK ACCOUNT NO.2121751 AT MAIN POST OFFICE, HANSI DISTT HISAR.

ON 25/9 AT 11.55 AM, I APPROACHED THE SAID POST OFFICE COUNTER AND PRESENTED A CASH WITHDRAWL FORM FOR Rs.4000/- ALONGWITH THE PASSBOOK. THE COUNTER CLERK REFUSED THE WITHDRAWL OF CASH SAYING THAT THE PASSBOOK IS NOT UPDATED AND ASKED ME TO COME NEXT DAY.

I REFERRED THE MATTER TO THE SUB-POSTMASTER SITTING BEHIND THE COUNTERS.

HE ALSO SAID THAT " THRER ARE 12 ENTRIES TO BE WRITTEN IN THE PASSBOOK AND IT WILL TAKE ONE DAY TO UPDATE THE PASSBOOK AND MONEY CAN NOT BE WITHDRAWN TODAY ".

IT MAY BE MENTIONED HERE THAT THERE WERE HARDLY 3 CUSTOMERS IN THE POST OFFICE AT THAT TIME.

I BROUGHT THE MATTER TO THE NOTICE OF PMG, AMBALA ON TELEPHONE AND THE REPLY WAS THAT HE WAS NOT SITTING THERE TO COMPLETE THE PASSBOOKS OF PUBLIC.

SEE THE DELIMMA! I HAVE SFFICIENT FUNDS IN MY SB A/C BUT I CAN NOT WITHDRAW A MEAGRE AMOUNT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

R.S. SHARMA
