It is startling to see how many benchmarks are being created. I think there is no standard to setting anything at all in India. I tried to withdraw Rs. 44000 from a bank today in the morning. They refused to make the payment stating they cannot honour a non-self check above Rs. 20000. I tried to reason with them stating many occassions in which i was able to do so in other banks. They were very adament in returning the check. Is there any act in the negotiable instruments act which can be read to them and make them realise their stupidity. Or if somebody can highlight the amendment in the act which i should read up and probably apologise to them :D ?
