Are you planning to replace your bank signature with your thumb impression? Are you facing repeated issues with your bank for your sign? Here's the complete procedure to change your sign and use your thumb impression instead.
A scenario- Vikas made a payment of Rs. 1,00,000 to his creditor through a cheque. But the bank dishonored his cheque. Vikas was shocked, as he had sufficient balance in his bank account. Upon inquiry, the bank authorities informed him that his signature is not matching with the digital signatures saved in the bank data. As a result, he had to pay the cheque dishonor charges and this deteriorated his reputation in the market as well.
Every bank uses a signature capture software which keeps a record of signatures provided by its customers at the time of opening account. If the signature does not tally with the signature saved in this software, it gives an error and the bank refuses to accept the transaction made with any different signatures. It is worth mentioning here that bank authorities consider your signature as mismatched even if there is a minute difference of a single dot.
