SBI doorstep banking service: Check eligibility, how to apply, services and key features

The nation's largest state lender, State Bank of India, is giving a doorstep banking service to a select group of consumers as a thank you to its clients. The service was made available to senior adults, people with disabilities, those who have medically recognised chronic illnesses, and people who are visually impaired during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Senior citizens over the age of 70, people with disabilities or infirmities (who have a chronic sickness or disability that has been medically certified), including visually impaired people, are all eligible for the programme. Account holders who have fully complied with KYC requirements, as well as single and joint account holders who are either survivors or previous survivors, are also eligible. 

Customers who, in the lender's opinion, have a registered address that is five kilometres away from the home branch. SBI tweeted about the programme on Monday with the message, "SBI at your doorway!!! SBI offers free "Door Step Banking Services" three times a month for clients who are disabled.
