State Bank of India is one of the biggest trusted banks in India and offers many beneficial services to its loyal customers. SBI also has a very safe and securely encrypted procedure for making money transfers between accounts for the security of their customers.
One such way is checks, DDs, or any other offline transactions where the bank requires the account holder’s signature, which will be exactly the same as the signature you gave at the time of bank account creation so that they can process your transaction.
If the signature you signed on the checks or DD doesn’t match the bank records, you cannot make transactions. If you want to process a transaction, you need to sign the signature properly, which will match with the bank, or you will need to change or update the signature in SBI. For that, please follow the below instructions.
