Thank you dear esteemed Arun Maashe for highlighting this crucial aspect that is relevant in one's routine life vis-a-vis some context or the other. It is high time that all those concerned authorities shed their blinkered bureaucratic views such as proof of address and also that annual drama of pensioners presenting themselves before the disbursement officials to prove that they are kicking alive to ensure that they have not kicked the bucket.
With ageing, often an individual's signature when past 75 years, may tend to change. This could be in contrast to the signature endorsed in the records of the concerned bank and some office or the other.. Hence needless doubts on such occasions must be avoided, particularly when it concerns the commoners like you and me since we are neither cloned versions of Lalit Modi.Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi nor any of those fraudsters.
As for signatures, I recall an instance of 1998 when an infection had injured my right finger (probably named whitlow or vitro. I am unsure). Thus I could not sign on the cheque to withdraw some money from my SB account in Syndicate Bank and the system of ATM (any time money!) was yet to catch up on a mass scale. Pondering over my predicament, I realised the fact that thumb impresions are fool-proof and more valid though an illiterate is ridiculed as Anguta Chap for his or her inability to sign.
Well put, and thanks for sharing your plight and that you'd to endure. I share yours and writing it in response to Mr TK Arun's opinion with an urgency highlighting the need to change this foolish, obsolete approach of verifying address proof through Aadhaar Card.
The entire explanation of having an address proof (Aadhar Card) for authentication of one's identity is explicitly defined by accurately correct, relatable, self-suffering examples in 'Past Participle' paragraph, "Imagine Columbus stepping ashore on that island in present-day Bahamas, and announcing himself as Columbus of Genoa (or Barcelona, as he pleased). How would it be, if the native American had greeted him with a demand for proof of address? When someone from Jhumri Telaiya goes to Bengaluru and lands a job, it is as much a journey of adventure and conquest for him as it had been for Columbus to discover India across the Atlantic". Hahaha....
The preceding paragraph also states my and the workforce's pain and endless sufferings in the hands of bank officials. To an extent that I had to file a written complaint against a bank manager who blatantly refused to hand over my debit card due to non-update of residence address on aadhar card during COVID-19 circumstances in Hyderabad.
The above stated examples of Columbus and Jhumri Telaiya perfectly fits into sarcastic humour having mellifluous sounds of a choir ready to lit spark in the minds of bank officials having such obsolete rules that of a having a permanent or temporary address as clarified in the second last paragraph, "Today, a generation of young people sees little point in investing in property. They are ever-ready to move, in pursuit of better opportunities to realise their potential, to another city, another country on another continent. Their savings are secure in financial instruments. Their data is stored in the cloud. Evermore convenient transport allows them to visit family and friends when they want to."
A worthy opinion for decision-makers of the BFSI sector especially all public sector banks to let us live ubiquitously in the 21st century digital age. Thank you.
