They send in batch. Once in 4-6 month


Just wait patiently 💀. Even customer care can't do a shit.

as they knew, that they can’t onboard new registration via BoB world app & takes months for debit cards delivery, they should allow customers to view debit card details via net banking or make an option to use Aadhar for upi pin set up like other banks. This is just ridiculous

Biggest bummer is, they’re not sending Debit card, there’s no option to use Aadhar for upi pin set up. So just stuck with net banking

Yes but things are just shit now.

They can't lower the security due ro RBI bamboo.

But atleast aadhar UPI should be implemented.

Fined for this incident

India’s Bank of Baroda tampered with accounts to flog app

Second-largest gov’t-owned bank linked mobile numbers of strangers to boost app registrations, compromising security.

These government employees are retarded, they'll destroy this country. Best government is no government.

 

[surpalsingh]

So they essentially signed up people to online app using their banking details but using a number they had access to and then deregistered the number? This means that these people were effectively locked out of their online accounts. And they will not get OTPs if they were to sign up for the app in future. Imagine the pain those poor people will have to go through because these government employees are scoundrels and never work, privatise everything at this point, kick these scums out of the system.

 

[surpalsingh]

I'm worried about the illiterate farmers and their hard earned money. Fingerprints were taken on consent forms to use "Mobile App" of these farmers who couldn't even read and write.

Disgusting. These guys should be penalised. And all these happened in cover of top management, that's more pathetic.

Yeah, poor illiterate farmers will be most affected, first aadhar leaks and now this, government should be phased out.

Be clear about on whom you are focusing your gun. Is it BOB Employees or BOB Financial Employees or State Govt Employees or Central Govt Employees ?
Or, someone else ?

Do not get confused. They are all different. So, be clear on what you say.
