Letters sent by banks
Think of this cold climate. It is Saturday 3 PM, and you are peacefully dozing off in a nice warm quilt; wild horses could not drag you outside. Then the bell rings, you curse whoever it is and get up. What do you find ? It is a courier delivering a letter from a bank. It could be a monthly statement, it could be an invitation to take a loan, it could be anything. And woe betide you if you have more than one account, a sure invitation to have a regularly disturbed sleep. And this is a practise followed by all the banks in India, with the private sector bank leading this charge.
I once told the courier fellow to just drop the letter rather than ringing the bell, however that is not possible since he has to get a signature for delivery. And the bank does not offer any mechanism to group together mail or do anything like that which will be more convenient to people at home. In my case, all family members have individual ICICI Bank accounts, so the number of letters delivered can be pretty high.
I tried changing the address to office, but under the clauses for changing address, any new address has to have a proper proof, and I do not have any Government issued document to prove my office address, so for the time being, I am at a loss. I am hoping to get a solution soon, but no guarantees.
