    This is truly NOT great news for the policy holders. In my opinion, almost 50 to 60% of the new policies would have been sold under duress. Not a day passes when bank account holders keep cribbing about Insurance Products being sold under the garb of a Fixed Deposit. The next time a account holder walks into a bank to make a FD he ought to carry a gun in his hand and if necessary fire a shot or two in the air to caution the RMs (Relaxing Managers) from poaching such individuals to their so called Cross Selling tactics (aka .........mis-selling tactics). We the account holders are just fed up with this sinister behaviour by these poachers who are growing by the number. Previously these sharks were present only in the Private Banks. Now, even the Nation's Bank (SBI) has started poaching. This should be nipped in the bud ......HERE & NOW. Is Mr. Shaktikanta Das listening? Hope he has adequate Shakti to tame these beasts.
