To Whom so ever it may concern, I fail to understand as to why there is no mail id of any Officials of Canara Bank any where in the web site or in Google search. It is astonishing that such an old bank does not e-mail id but boasts of being the largest bank. How does one lodge a complaint on poor quality of services is a moot point. It may be one of the largest public sector bank but it does carry a poor record of customer care. May I request some one to provide the e-mail id of various Chief manager, Manger, AGM etc., of the CPPC of this great Bank please. I shall be ever greatfull for the same. Mob No:9886987997
