Citibank Online Banking: Bad Example

Posted on 03:19 by Unknown
There's a service called RTGS in Citibank. If you have a Suvidha account and you use the online facility, chances are, you must have seen it on your screen. Now, here's an example that borders on stupidity. The Citibank website says:
RTGS transfers allowed only for amounts between Rs 1,00,000 to Rs 2,00,000
Please do not include spaces or characters. For example, Rs.7,800.00 should be entered as 7800.00

Did you say 'So, what's wrong with that example?' Hmm?
