On the occasion, the DGM asked the SBI staff to be vigilant while asking customers not to ever share their OTP/Password to any one which, infact, had led to financial loss of many customers in the past. He also asked them to report any irregularities in their SBI bank account so that corrective measures may be taken. The Digital age is here and we have to learn to live with it, he added.
The DGM also said that they are a private sector bank dealing with public money where the public deposit and they give out loans. As such, the customers are bound to repay their loan without default which, otherwise, can affect their CIBIL Score that will result in them being devoid of taking bank loans in any private sector bank in India.
He also said that one of the reasons why customers of SBI should repay in time was due to the fact that, if they don’t repay in time they, SBI, can’t proceed to give loans to other customers in need. He also highlighted the need for Financial Discipline for which SBI stands and through which customers can grow with SBI.
