Is your dd payable to an Indian Bank in India or a bank in Canada? Like my Standard Chartered Foreign Currency Draft was payable to Royal Bank of Canada in Toronto. My DD was encashed on July 2 according to PER and bank got the info around July 5 [though never communicated to me].pepto said:I can see clearly by looking at the spreadsheet that those with DD has a longer wait time (no secret now, of course) but I think the more important fact is that those with New Delhi, India and has DD as the payment options are worse affected. The reason may be some banking process (safety net) that Indian bank might be using to give the clear signal to the bank in Canada.
With my own experience anytime I deposit a foreign currency cheque or DD in my account it takes the longest time in the world to clear in my account. I once asked my bank manager and he said RBI guidelines is one of the reason for that. It is my wild guess that those who will even get the response might have their DD made from some private bank in Delhi. Those like me who got it from Nationalized bank might be the last to know about the DD.
I wish I had given a CC as an option or as someone smart guy used the Debit Card as option.
The great divide between CC and DD is growing........Help me god.
EDIT: The ultimate money Receiver General for Canada account got from Standard Chartered's US branch [Bank Manager told me that] instead of the bank here in Pakistan. So maybe that is why it was cleared within 4 working days [US Standard Hold Time] instead of 14 days [International Hold Time].
