A customer named Mr. Patel tried to open an account at Karnataka Bank but was rejected due to incomplete KYC documents. He realized that he had forgotten to provide his proof of address.

Lesson Learned: Incorrect or incomplete KYC documents can lead to delays or account rejection.
Story 2:
A businesswoman named Mrs. Verma was excited to open an account for her new company. However, she submitted photocopies of her KYC documents instead of the original copies.

Lesson Learned: Original KYC documents ensure authenticity and prevent fraud.
