Indian Overseas Bank or Indian Overhead Bank

Hello All,
Since one of my previous post was with bank especially with Government Banks,I just thought of sharing this experience with you. Saturday morning I went to the IOB branch near velachery to with draw money for my mum and to transfer money as well. Bank was opened in the morning 9.15 itself. I got shocked and my hands were shivering that I had a feeling that I was in singapore or some foreign countries. So with all excitement and praising the authorities of IOB branch and went inside for money transaction....Then only I came to know that after series of holidays they opened the branch early and to close it early....I Searched the forms atleast 10 mins and I was unable to find the money transaction form... I asked one lady there...She just told me that go and get from the last counter....I asked which side..She again told me that "I told that go and check in the last counter".....So I thought of not asking again to her and create myself as Vadivelu actor...With some guess like, the last should be near to the cash counter and I asked one person and he diverted to one other lady and she provided me the form...I had a feeling of watching a Treasue Island film to get one form.....Then I saw the counters....There were 4 but as i expected one closed since the employee was not around....One counter was like "transactions above 15000 and remittance above 10000"..other 2 counters were like "transactions below 15000 and remittance below 10000"....That "above" counter was empty and other 2 counters were flooded with people.....I dont know what is the logic behind above and below 10000.....or what is wrong in sharing the workload of other 2 counters since they are telling like fully computerised.....and lots of shoutings which irritates all the customers...So i wondered when this will change....May be in 2020???? Any thoughts....
