Story 1: The Case of the Missing Proof of Address
A customer called HDFC Bank customer care, asking for help with KYC update. The customer service representative inquired about the proof of address document, to which the customer replied, "I don't have a proof of address, I live in a treehouse." The representative patiently explained that a treehouse may not be considered a valid proof of address.
Learning: Always maintain a valid proof of address, even if it's unconventional.
Story 2: The Passport Conundrum
A customer visited an HDFC Bank branch to update their KYC. They presented their passport as proof of identity. However, the passport had such faded photo that the customer was nearly unrecognizable. The branch manager couldn't help but comment, "We need to update your photo, you look like a distant cousin of yourself."
Learning: Ensure that your passport photo is up-to-date and clearly recognizable.
Story 3: The KYC Selfie
Another customer decided to take a selfie while submitting their KYC documents online. The customer posed with a funny expression, thinking it would make the KYC update more memorable. However, the image uploading system rejected the photo, prompting the customer to take a more serious selfie.
Learning: Follow the KYC document upload guidelines, including the use of appropriate facial expressions.
