This happened recently with my father he was having NRI account in SBI and since he works abroad he uses that account to deposit money from abroad and my mom uses the debit card from here. My father came for his vacation back to India around January 2020 and he couldn’t return back until this October due to covid. That card was working fine all these months until a week before he was going back when he went to withdraw some money it says card is blocked then he rushed to bank and they said they will give a new one and they gave also. He was very happy that they gave a new card immediately. He left that card with my mom because she is the person who uses that card. After my father left the country when my mom tried to use the new card it is not working, then i contacted the bank then they are saying that they needed my fathers signature to activate that. Now how will am supposed to get signature from someone who already left the country. They should have done it when my father physically appeared in the branch for getting new one.
