Story 1:
A customer presented a voter ID with a striking resemblance to his younger self, much to the amusement of the bank official. Despite the obvious age difference, the customer insisted it was the only valid document he had.
Lesson: Always carry authentic and up-to-date KYC documents.
Story 2:
A customer submitted a utility bill that turned out to be for a shared accommodation. When asked for further proof, he explained that he and his landlord shared the same room to save on rent.
Lesson: Ensure that address proof is in your own name and reflects your current residence.
Story 3:
A customer presented a passport as identity proof, but it had expired several years ago. When asked about it, the customer replied, "I still look the same. What's the problem?"
Lesson: Be aware of the validity periods of KYC documents and renew them promptly.
