Thanks ramana27

I just heard than many validity for DD is just for 3 months, Is that true ?

 

[ramana27]

I got for 6 months from SBI...

 

[SK2014]

Great... Do I need to tell them anything specific in order to get the DD

I heard from many that ICICI is really good and the best choice

Great thank you very much for your suggestion, I do have credit card as well, but for some transactions in India it asks me to provide one time password, I am not sure if it will be same with international transaction, I just don't want to take any risk and opting for DD or MO..

Thanks for ur help

Regarding credit card I would not suggest as many things need to be checked allthrough , like the validity of the card, availabilty of the balance all the time till charging and also the risk of keeping the credit card safe.

I talked to SBI today, they are saying the validity of DD will be only 3 months not more .... any other alternative, they suggested me MO, is there anyone who sent MO Kindly help

I am surprised to know they told you its 3 months, I have just checked the DD that was issued to me in september it was clearly mentioned 6 months validity. Not sure on MO.

Dear ramana7, I confirmed that with SBI Pune, SBI Jalgaon, they are saying they are using the old stationary on which expiry date is 6 months, all DD's are just valid for 3 months, as per the RBI's new circular they have received.

It will be advisable to personally go to bank and confirm the same again. I don't want to see anyone in trouble just becoz bankers don't know on what they are doing.

Our time is precious is here.... Check it out fast and reply back.....


ANYBODY WHO SENT DD FROM INDIA PLEASE CHECK THE EXPIRY DATE -
