This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
It is not clear how requiring people to have a bank account would reduce corruption or discrimination, and there don't appear to be requirements for people living in India to have a bank account, so we're not sure how exactly your suggestion would work. You may wish to start a new petition stating more clearly what you would like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
