sbi & boi are extremely bad in delhi....private banks like icici, kotak & citi are also bad....hdfc & standard charter seems to be handling the situation well....

but with another new restriction imposed by the government yesterday, i can see a lot of frustration & even longer lines for the next 10 days....
