I went to Kalyan Silks today with my mom for shopping and had an embarrassing moment when I went to pay the bill.... My "Canara Bank" debit card was not functioning!!
This is the "N-th" time this debit cum ATM card is not working. Three weeks back, I only had 50/- with me when I went to the ATM center only to realize that the ATM is "out of order"!!
Coming back to today's event, luckily my mom had her debit card with her (that of Federal Bank) and it was working.... Just imagine what would have happened if that was not there!
While driving back, I just had a thought on this subject. What will happen to you when all your money is suddenly freezed and you are left with no money at all!!
And I have decided not to try my luck with Canara Bank anymore and am planning to use my now idle Oriental Bank of Commerce account. Incidentally, I've been using GTB's (now OBC) debit card for the past 2 years and have never faced such a dilemma. I've used it at 5 in the morning, at hotels, restaurants, and even abroad!
Lesson learned: Don't put all your money in one account! :-)
