Jason is the sports captain of his school. He was thrilled to receive the Chief Minister’s scholarship for his outstanding performance in sports. But his scholarship amount has to be credited to his bank account and Jason does not have a savings bank account. He does not even know how to open a bank account. So he approaches a bank in his locality and the bank employee at the helpdesk gives him instructions to complete the task as given below.
1. Take the account opening form from the counter.
2. Fill the details in the form carefully.
3. Put your signature at the designated place on the form.
4. Attach a copy of the photo identity card.
5. Submit the form at the counter with a minimum deposit.
After understanding the process to open a bank account, Jason gets on to work. When he went to complete the final step, which was to submit the form, the clerk informed him that his account could not be opened.
What would have gone wrong? What reasons can you think of?

Once again Jason checked the steps to open the bank account. It was then that he realized that he had missed Step no 3 which was to put signature at the designated place on the form and that was why the task of opening the bank account could not be completed. Thereafter, he put his signature and submitted his form again. His account was finally successfully opened.
