Story 1: The KYC Conundrum
A small business owner became entangled in a hilarious predicament when he tried to open a new bank account. The bank requested a variety of documents for KYC verification, including a copy of his passport. However, the owner had lost his passport and had to retrieve it from the depths of his attic.
