New Delhi. A picture is going viral on social media these days, in which some parts of an article are written. According to this, now you cannot open an account in more than one bank.

The picture that is going viral regarding the fake claim has a photo of RBI Governor Shashikant Das. Along with this, there is also the logo of RBI.
