Secondly, Manager or other staff members are not taking (pick) phone calls. So customers are facing too many problems with the hours & behavior of the branch

I came back again at the bank at last hope that for nothing just to request and Convince the cashier but he behaved very rudely Very angrily and said Please don’t disturb. They were doing their cash transfers at the same time but refused mine urgent Payment Works. I argued for 15 Minutes with the cashier but he kept repeating get lost get lost. It was a matter of my Career and for the whole life I will never gonna forgive them, And for sure If I became a part of administrative Deptt I will teach a lesson to all these Hopeless nonsense idiot craps of the nation.

  31. Sbi bank branch junior district Mansa very very poor service. Lunchtime is 2 to 3.15 p.m. Very disappointed.

  32. On 27th June at 4.10 pm, I visited SBI SAILASHRI VIHAR branch to handover documents for KYC verification. The Hindi speaking lady on the desk did not receive the documents as it was beyond 4 pm. Non-money transaction activities continue up to 4.30pm but SBI staffs are not customer friendly.
    As they are enjoying 5 days a week, they should increase daily working times.

    • Don’t be a crybaby, burn your guts and end up with a nervous breakdown. Indians have been lazy for generations and that was the reason British bet the shit out of them for centuries. Since moving to Canada in 1953 I have noticed that banks are mostly operated by a woman and they happen to be efficient, sincere and hardworking. I hope some gutsy manager takes over and straighten out the system.

  33. One of the worst banking service. SBI workers shouldn’t know the basic sense. Its the top most worst service.
    If you want to check ?
    Kindly visit axis Bank,icici,hdfc.
    Then visit sbi.
    You peoples can feel the difference.

  34. Bank employees are not active all time . They do their work according to themseleves . Sometimes theyake angry thr consumers . Bank should be replaced by atms and online banking facility should be expanded so that all work to be done by users own.

  40. Though working hours are written from 10 to 4 PM …this is for cash transactions only,

    Transfer entries, RTGS etc, Lockers ought to be done up to 4.30 PM as in other nationalized banks. Unfortunately, guards in SBI lock gate 4 PM and don’t open.recently, I had a very bitter experience…I was to collect FDRs for 22 lacs at 4.15 PM…the lock was not opened..when I protested the guard called the police to my dismay. The manager said, he did it without his consent …who cares in SBI…

  50. Response time to the given queries is very poor( SBI Hyderabad,Mallepally) despite follow up no acknowledgement and update is given by the branch manager. this gives an impression of over all branch operations and service standards.
    Hope this blog matters for improving the services for my self and every SBI account holder.

  51. 1)BANKS IS AN ESSENTIAL COMMODITY SERVICES .IT SHOULD WORK 24X7 LIKE HOSPITALS,RAILWAYS,TRANSPORT,ELCTRICITY ,ETC…..
    2)IN SBI AND even in other banks ther should be CCTV to monitor behavior and working of staff/officers.
    3)employees may avail 5 days working…but there should be rostering to work 24×7……at least essential services .
    4)in case ATM at bank is not working …in times of Demonetisation ..they should hhave put a stsff at ATM with aswipe machine who colud give 2000-4000 cash…….but sorry the bank employees and unions only want more and more facilities on public money…….poor poor .

  52. timing is not set… kabi bi ayo kabi bi jayo…. sabh bakar yaha rishikesh sbi omkarananda brance me..

  54. Same problem in singhia branch in the samastipur district all tym ATM out of service & in the bank already money problem. & I am already aadhar submitted to bank but staff says me u r not submitted aadhar card. How funny हंशी आ रही है बैंक वालो पे।

  55. The SBI Notice Board shows that the timming is 10:00 AM to 04:00 PM, but between 02:00 to 03:00 PM they refused to do any work, they Protest for the holidays, 5 day week but never protest for not doing the work in proper timming… lazy bank, first update the mentality then update the IT system..

    • The bankers at SBI,T.81 Branch, Nakodar enjoy a lunch time of 1hour from 2 to 3 pm contrary to the instruction of half an hour Lunch time. And no Officer is concerned about it.

  56. So lazy system in SBI see other private bank all provide good facilities and not wait for transaction or any other work they all helpful and in SBI see lunch time all table no one sit in ambawadi branch customer waste his valuable time.

  57. No one is their to assist customers in lunch time at sbi dauji road bikaner. Only br. Manager is in branch in his cabin.

  58. I found the sbi branch at Zadeswar was open at 10.30 is it decided by the branch it self at what time it open and closed

  60. Hi.ye rong status hai. Ya fir bank walo ne apni marji ka time bana rakha hai koi rokne tokne wala Nahi hai.
    lunch time-1:30 TO 3:00 PM
    openings time-10:00 ; to 4pm

  61. Hi,
    I don’t agree with the statement that if you visit during lunch break then you can get services. Because I have a shop in front of sbi branch in Singho Dist Bathinda Punjab and everyday they open 10 am and close gate 2 pm for lunch . You can’t enter until 3pm . Rain, sun heat doesn’t matter stay out of bank.
    The most interesting point is atm booth is shut since demonetization.

  62. SBI Latur Branch at Tilak Nagar is not allowing customers entry before 10.30 am…..whom to complain??
