State Bank of India has
started ‘Green Channel Counter’ on 1st July, 2010, at 57 Pilot branches
across the country, as an innovative step towards paperless
‘Green Banking’ for deposit, withdrawal and remittance transactions.
Based on the Customers favourable response, this initiative has now
been rolled out to more number of branches.
The facility would
give customers ease and comfort in transacting their business at branches.
The customer need not fill up any pay-in slips or draw cheques
for depositing or withdrawing money from their accounts, saving paper, and
thereby contributing to the concept of ’Green Banking’.
This novel facility
would be a game changing move in the industry by reducing process time, as
duplication in writing/feeding account details and transaction details by
the customer as well as the person behind the counter is avoided by simply
capturing these details by swiping the SBI Shopping cum ATM card
(State Bank Shopping Card) on a device available at the Single Window
Operator’s (SWO) counter. At the Green Channel Counter, there is a Point
of Sale Machine (POS), on which the customer swipes his card. He is then
asked by the machine to select the type of transaction, viz. (0) Cash
Deposit, (1) Cash Withdrawal and (2) Funds Transfer. Once the customer
selects the type of transaction by entering the option, the message ‘Enter
the Amount’ is displayed. At present the maximum amount is Rs. 40,000/-.
The customer is asked to confirm the input amount followed by a message
“Please Enter the PIN”. When the PIN is entered by the customer,
the transaction gets transferred to the terminal of SWO who after entering
the denomination of the cash to be paid/received, pays/receives cash and
the transaction gets completed. The customer will be provided with a
machine generated printed receipt with previous balance, amount
of transaction and closing balance. Odd amount (in round rupees)
transactions are possible. While withdrawing, the customer can have
denomination of currency of his / her choice, subject to its availability
at the Branch.
The Green Channel
Counter is also an endeavour to offer ease of transactions to senior
citizens, especially a large number of pension account holders who still
prefer branch banking. It is the privilege of the oldest Bank in the
country to take care of its elder citizens and guide them to the use of plastic
cards. The facility would be extended to a larger number of branches with
added facilities in due course.

ReplyDeleteHello Manokaran Sir,
DeleteIf you want to transfer the amount from SBI account, there is two ways. i.e.,
1. If you have SBI debit card, then you can transfer the amount from your account. Other wise open the SBI saving bank account.
2.Without any questions, Take the SBI green remit card. one green remit card is use for one sender's account only. Please try to Open the SBI Green Remit Card
If SBI Staff are not giving any respect to the customers, then complaint to the Bank Manager. He/ She is not responding to your Complaint. Then complaint to the Ombudsman(https://secweb.rbi.org.in/BO/precompltindex.htm) .
