Bank of India

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular customer noticed something peculiar one morning as he entered Bank of India. On the counter lay an old, dusty envelope, sealed but unaddressed. Curious, he picked it up—and inside were stacks of hundred-dollar bills. Smiling, our curious customer counted just enough for a nice weekend trip and slipped the rest back into the envelope. Later that day, while leaving the bank, he bumped into a delivery driver who asked if he’d seen an unmarked envelope filled with cash. Turning around, he realized he was holding exactly what the man described—an innocent mix-up, neatly wrapped in urban legend.

2. A delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why does the Bank of India always close early on Wednesdays?’ The manager smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘On Wednesdays, our janitor takes his wife to see her grandmother in another town. He can’t risk being late.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly and muttered, ‘Guess that explains it!’

3. A curious neighbor once asked: 'Why does the Bank of India never seem to have any customers after lunchtime?' It turned out that every day, right around noon, a regular would come in and withdraw his entire balance—only to deposit it back an hour later. The tellers had grown so used to this routine they’d packed their lunches early, leaving them free for a little post-lunch yoga on the bank’s roof.

4. A delivery driver parked outside Bank of India and noticed an odd sound coming from inside. Every afternoon, right around closing time, the building seemed to hum like a giant bee hive. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just empty desks and quiet computers. But then, as he left, he heard it again: a soft, rhythmic buzzing that grew louder with each step away. Turned out, it was just the air conditioning unit in the neighboring building, humming its own little tune.
