Next queue before bank counter.

In what is called a gobbledygook decision the State Government of Kerala is pushing the BPL and APL ration card holders to yet  another queue, after the one in front of rations shops, and that is before bank counters. The card holders should give their bank account number before March 31, next year and the subsidy would be credited with the outstanding amount from Jan 1. Those who give their account number after that date would be credited with the subsidy from then on, the CM said

In fact most of the BPL card holders do not hold a bank account and of course for that reason they have a peaceful mind as they have never experienced the callous attitude of some bank officials.  This will end soon as the consumers have to give their existing bank account numbers and wait before the cash counter of the bank. And also they have to sleep with their pass book to know whether they have been credited for ration subsidy.

No doubt, the curse of IT overweighs its merit at least for ration card holders.
