I have opened the NRE account with icici bank (Thiruvannmalai Br-Tamil nadu) through agent in riyadh. I have paid money equivalent to inidan money of 15250 Rs. The agent promised me ATM card, Cheque book and secret pin code will reach to communication address within 12 days. Now almost 45 days finished, still i didnt receive my ATM card and cheque book. but i have received secret pin code through post. Please let me know what i have to do further.
