National Savings Bank (NSB) which offers gifts every Sinhala and Hindu New Year tries to make these gifts to be something innovative and useful for the winning customers. This year NSB offers six piece cutlery set in the shape of Banana leaf as Aluth Avurudu gift to all those customers who deposit Rs 15,000
If anyone deposits Rs 15,000 or more in an ‘Avurudu Wasana Patha’, that depositor would receive this ideal cutlery set. There are two sets that go together and it would be ideal that the depositor obtain both, by doubling the deposit. In fact each cutlery set would be worth around Rs 3,000.
K Don Upali Gunaratne, Chairman, NSB said that last year for those who were involved in the ‘Avurudu Ganu Denu’ tradition they have offered Gold and Silver ‘Manjusa’ which was a tremendous boost and in actual fact they have run short of ‘Manjusas’ half way and had to order another quantity to avoid the customer disappointment.
Within most other banks, NSB is taking steps to offer this ideal ‘Avurudu’ gift well before the ‘Aluth Avuruddha’ so that the ‘Avurudu’ traditionalists would be handy with this important piece of ‘Avurudu’ Table.
Gunaratne said that they are very particular about their vast customer base and always strive to offer them the best, whatever it may be. Thus, if anyone deposits Rs 15,000 or more in an ‘Avurudu Wasana Patha’, that depositor would receive this ideal cutlery set. There are two sets that go together and it would be ideal that the depositor obtain both, by doubling his deposit. In fact each cutlery set would be worth around Rs 3,000 and in actual fact by paying Rs 12,000 the deposit is worth Rs 15,000.
Chairman NSB said that these deposits could be made either by local currency and those who are employed in foreign countries could make the deposit in foreign currency and the gift could be nominated to their dear ones living in Sri Lanka.
As these cutlery sets have to be available by ‘Avurudu Nekatha’ NSB will commence issuing these gifts from 1st April through their network of branches and post offices. This cute pieces of cutlery is also taken as a gift package to offer to relatives – another cherished Avurudu tradition – ‘Negam Yema’ .
The offer this year serves several purposes, such as the item could be available well in time for the ‘Aluth Avuruddha’; it could be obtained leisurely, well in advance. The depositors would not be caught up in the mighty rush during the short time the bank would be open for ‘Avurudu Ganu Denu’ and they would also be away from the stampede and mighty rush. Above all the item would be durable and useful, unlike other tokens of appreciations.
