SBI has clearly stated that this kind of information won’t be sought from you by the bank and has recommended following social media handles of SBI for genuine information. Such kind of sensitive information shouldn’t be shared with any person asking over a phone call, e-mail, message or through any other medium as it increases the chances of online theft and possibilities of skulduggery.
