How to use this format?

SBI-specific practical notes

Name the exact branch (e.g., 'SBI, Connaught Place New Delhi') — generic 'SBI' wording may be questioned. Confirm whether the branch uses YONO Business or legacy corporate banking — signatory rules are the same but forms differ slightly.

SBI often verifies registered office visit or video KYC for startups. Resolution signatory names must match PAN and Aadhaar submitted in the director set.

Common reasons SBI returns resolutions

Missing 'certified true copy'; no CIN; signatory not listed as director on MCA; mode of operation ambiguous; company name typo vs COI. Regenerate from our tool to avoid manual copy-paste errors.

If a foreign director is a signatory, passport copies and additional compliance may apply — resolution still required.

Sample SBI resolving clause

"RESOLVED THAT a current account be opened in the name of the Company with State Bank of India, IT Park Branch, Bengaluru, and that Mr. Vikram Rao (Director) and Ms. Neha Kapoor (Director) be authorised to operate the account, with signing authority as per the specimen signatures submitted to the Bank."

Quick checklist
