How to Request the Door Step Banking Services
Get the DSB application downloaded to your mobile device. Enter your registered mobile number. If it is registered already, you will be able to log in using a PIN, OTP, pattern, or your fingerprint. Then you can select your bank and enter the service location. Once this is done, the system checks if doorstep banking is available there.
If it is available but your details aren't saved, the user is asked for permission to fetch details from the bank and verifies through OTP. Once the details are fetched, the user can choose their service, address, and time slot.
Once you select these details, the service charges are debited from the account itself. Post this, the user gets a confirmation along with a booking ID.
After submitting the digital life certificate, pensioners receive an SMS with the transaction ID.
