PPF account in SBI Jaipur

[js-nigeria 0]

The SBI Vaishali Nagar Branch manager Mr. Arvind said on 24 Nov 2011 that RBI has issued a new directive to SBI stating that anyone wishing to open a PPF account must open a SB Account first in the SBI. The SBI and RBI websites do not mention any such thing. I have written to SBI Help Line to provide a copy of that new directive from RBI.

Dear Sir,

Is it mandatory to open a Savings Bank account with SBI in order to have a PPF account ??

The Jaipur branch Vaishali Nagar has told me that there is a new directive from RBI that I must have a SB account with SBI in order to open a PPF Account.

RBI and SBI websites do not mention any such thing.

I request a copy of that directive please.

Regards.
