COMMENTS
Which type of account it is eg. Saving or current??? My bank is asking for transfer
With family members in Savings account is best. With company/society/partners/company business Current account is necessary.
The official file (Have doubt on this as it has no stamp and sign of the bank)
https://www.syndicatebank.in/Announcement/Army_Battle_Casualties.pdf
dint have sign and stamp of the branch manager. How can we trust it? we will first visit our local syndicate bank to verify this account before deposit the money in ti.
Is it a registered FUND with govt authority?
Is anybody having a regd no date and name and address under which it is registered.
You have given acc no , IFS code , etc openly. Why some one will does not hack it easily????
Is any strong security to secure the fund?????
GUESS YOU HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF A 3 YEAR OLD IN RESPECT TO HOW BANKING IN INDIA WORKS.
THIS IS BASIC ACCOUNT INFO FOR ACCESS TO ANY BANK ACCOUNT
YOURS OR MINE.
STAY FOCUSED
GOOD LUCK
what is there guarantee that the donated fund will be used for army casualties only? Since there is a lot of corruption seeing a huge amount in a particular field.
