SBI’s problem “cheque book not available on this account” solved !

SBI can be called as the best, largest and most awarded public sector bank. When it’s about SBI the 400 million customers get affected or benefited. So, the cheque book isn’t something that’s a new service in SBI.

Following this problem, cheque books can be availed for your bank account using SMS or either using offline or online methods.

But if all goes right, there are some of the customers’ face before ordering their first chequebook like one of the problems that I will discuss briefly in this article to fix “CHEQUE BOOK NOT AVAILABLE ON THIS ACCOUNT”.

Why is this problem is eye-catching?

Because of the fact, if you don’t solve this you will be restricted from ordering your cheque-book if it’s requested using SMS or using Online Services. And for this, you need to first convert your non-cheque book facility savings bank into a cheque facility savings account.

Do the offline branch requested chequebooks needs to be converted?

No, nothing extra to be done here, as all the paperwork will be handled by the SBI employees, however, this requires less time to deliver the chequebook to your address than the online method.
