“I have to buy medicine but can’t buy as I have no cash in hand”- Customer
Imphal, Nov 22: Infuriated customers of SBI Bank Porompat Branch today expressed dissatisfaction to the Branch authority over failure to disburse cash for two days.
A customer said that he had to buy medicines for treatment of one of his family member but lack of proper cash which is accepted in the market is giving him nightmares. He has been coming to the bank for the last two days and every time he had to return empty-handed.
When enquired by Imphal Times it was learnt that the bank has not authorized any cash withdrawal for the last 2/3 days owing to cash shortage.
The Branch Manager was not present to comment on the problems faced by the customers.
One official of the SBI bank, Porompat branch said the manager had left to collect cash from Head office in Imphal. The bank also faced many problems while dispatching cash to the customers as the main head office of SBI did not provide enough cash, and only a sum of 10 lakh at the maximum is provided to the bank.They even put up a notice in front of the SBI bank, Porompat branch that they will not be able to dispatch cash as the bank did not have enough cash which could be met for each customer but some customers use to tear down the notice paper and it has created a misunderstanding with the bank staff and the customers which is very unfortunate, the official said.
