which bank is this? i got mine from SBI was fine with Rs. mentioned.

HDFC. and they did not even write if it is CREDIT or DEBIT. Just wrote Balance in Figures..

 

[thenumbiceman]

thats absurd. I got one from ICICI that had INR too. So the other option is take a statement print out say 6 month old and then get it signed by them. Also it could be that its a branch specific problem.

Try talking to them (or even to the Bank Manager) and also make them understand that this letter is required for immigration purpose and it needs to be sent to Canada and without the currency the letter is will not serve the purpose. You being the customer of the bank, you have every right to get the letter with the currency mentioned. I cannot understand, how can a bank issue a letter without the currency, they should have at least mentioned Rs if not INR. If you notice, all bank instruments whether it be cheque, DD etc have Rupees or INR or Rs mentioned. If the document is for India it is imperative that the currency is Rs/INR. But when you are sending a document to another country, the case officer does not have the time to fetch the currency based on the country of the applicant.

If you raise this issue with the Branch Manager, you will get a fresh letter issued to you. I used to work for a bank 6 years back, so I am sure, you have every right to get it corrected.

Even though its obvious, to be in the safe side, Just attach 6 months statement along with the bank certificate.
