The Case of the Missing Passport:
A woman went to a YES Bank branch to open an account. She presented all the necessary documents except her passport. The bank officer jokingly asked if she had lost it while traveling abroad. The woman replied, "No, I'm from India. I've never been abroad." The bank officer couldn't help but laugh and explained that the passport is not required for Indian citizens opening a domestic account.
The Customer with the Interesting Bank Statements:
A customer visited a YES Bank branch for KYC verification. The bank officer noticed some unusual transactions in his bank statements. When asked about them, the customer explained that he was a professional gambler. The bank officer was surprised but was reassured when the customer provided proof of his winnings and tax payments.
The Case of the Pet Piggy Bank:
A young girl insisted on bringing her pet piggy bank to the bank for KYC verification. The bank officer explained that it was not necessary, but the girl refused to leave without it. The officer allowed her to place it on her lap during the verification process, much to everyone's amusement.
