VKYC Issue with PNB CC - Is Branch Visit Really Necessary?

Hi TF community - I’ve been trying to get the PNB RuPay Select Credit Card for over a month now and the whole process has been a bit of a mess.

Timeline so far:
  • Applied online on Aug 1 → CIBIL inquiry done the same day
  • Completed VKYC on Aug 2 → got SMS confirmation
  • Then a week of silence
  • After chasing them over emails and even escalating to HO → I finally got a reply: “Checker Rejected - VKYC - REJECTED”
  • When I asked why → they said my father’s name in the application doesn’t match with the documents
  • I shared the application + Aadhaar → both clearly show the name is 100% correct
  • Since then, the only response I get is: “Your VKYC has been rejected. Kindly visit the nearest branch with original documents and submit physically”
Now, here’s my issue: I don’t want to go to the branch for something that should be fully digital. Is visiting the branch the only way forward once VKYC is rejected, or can I push back by filing a complaint with the RBI Ombudsman to get them to process it online?

Would love to hear if anyone here has dealt with this before. Thanks!
 
@e-va Read this thread initial post and also last few pages to understand how people are sharing their experiences with this card application.


Good to also ask in that thread.
