SBI Will Block Your Bank Account If KYC Not Updated

State Bank of India (SBI) has issued public notice to the SBI customers in regard to their incomplete KYC. The lender has asked all such SBI account holders to complete their KYC in order to avoid inconvenience in the future. The bank also said in the public notice
that if an SBI customer fails to complete one's KYC by February 28, 2020, then it will have no choice but to block such SBI accounts till the KYC is completed.

Hence, if you have received such a mail or text message on your mobile phone, you are advised not to ignore this as if you fail to complete the KYC, your account may be blocked.

Who needs to update KYC by February 28:

When a Twitter user asked SBI if every customer is required to update KYC by 28 February 2020, the bank replied saying that tt is applicable to those whose KYC updation is due. In another response, the bank said, "KYC details need to be updated periodically and the periodicity depends upon the risk categorisation of your account. When the same is due, you will be notified by the bank".
