SBI May Freeze Your Accounts; Know Why

From today, State Bank of India (SBI) account holders will not be able to do transactions in their account, whose "Know Your Customer" (KYC) details are not complete. Earlier, SBI already issued a notice to its account holders about this.

To avoid inconvenience in their banking procedures in the future SBI asked its account holders to submit KYC linked with their bank accounts by February 28.

As the KYC updating due date has already passed, SBI may freeze the accounts of customers who have not updated their KYC.

If you are an SBI account holder, you should update your KYC soon, to avoid freezing of your account.
