SBI software denies Schedule Tribe option to Christians: Arunachal forum

The Arunachal Christian Forum says that State Bank of India’s software automatically reclassifies customers who identify as Scheduled Tribe as ‘General’ when they select Christianity during account opening or KYC updates. The forum alleges this prevents tribal Christians from accessing the benefits reserved for Scheduled Tribes, prompting urgent calls for corrective action to the bank.
