Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue with the SBI application form.

I filled in all the required details, and everything was saved successfully. But when I try to preview or submit the application, it shows this error:

"There are one or more forms marked in red that are yet to be completed. (E605)"

The problem is that I can't find any incomplete section. I have already checked all the details multiple times.

Is anyone else facing the same issue? If you know the solution, please let me know.

Thanks!

chalo ab phone rakh ke kuch padhte hain. 😭🫡

Traveling to Kedarnath is a soul-stirring experience, but it’s currently a test of both faith and patience. Based on a recent visit in 21-28May 2026, here is the unfiltered reality of the journey. If you are planning a trip, read this carefully.

[Honest Review] My Kedarnath Yatra 2026: The Divine, The Scams, and the Ugly Truth

I recently returned from Kedarnath, and while the spiritual energy at the top is unmatched, the "management" on the ground is a different story. Here is a breakdown of what to expect:

1. The Crowd is No Joke

The rush this season is record-breaking. Be prepared for "people-traffic jams" on the narrow trekking paths. If you have claustrophobia or breathing issues, think twice. The sheer volume of people makes physical distancing impossible.

2. Beware: The VIP Darshan Scam

There is a massive influx of "agents" and "middlemen" promising VIP entry for a fee (ranging from  ₹7,000+).

The Reality: Most of these are scams. They might take your money and disappear, or lead you into a "priority" line that is just as slow as the regular one.

Advice: Stick to the official counters or wait in the normal queue. It’s safer and more fulfilling.

3. Security & Management: A Mixed Bag

Police and SDRF teams are doing their best, but they are clearly overwhelmed by the numbers. Expect long halts at Sonprayag and Gaurikund for "crowd control," which can add 4–6 hours to your travel time before you even start the trek.

4. The Animal Path: Heartbreaking and Messy

The condition of horses, mules (kachars), and pitthus is distressing.

* The path is narrow, and you’ll constantly be dodging horse dung and aggressive mules pushing past you.

* Watching the animals being overworked in the thin air is a "worst experience" for many. If you are fit, please walk.

5. The "Normal" Queue: Totally Worth It

I stood in the general line for 8 hours. It was exhausting, but the reward was Shringar Darshan (the evening decoration of the Idol). The energy inside the sanctum makes you forget the 16km trek and the sore legs instantly. It is pure magic.

6. The Road Journey & Travel Agents

This is where it gets frustrating. Local transport and agents are charging nearly double the "usual" rates.

The Quote Trap: Whatever price they agree on initially often changes once you reach halfway or face a landslide.

Negotiation: Always fix the price clearly and, if possible, pay a portion only after reaching the destination.

7. Safety Warning: Driving & Intoxication

This was the most terrifying part. Many private cab drivers are driving 18-20 hours non-stop to cash in on the rush.

Drink & Drive: I witnessed drivers taking "local hits" or drinking to stay awake. They drive like experts on the edges, but the risk is immense.

Tip:

If your driver looks drowsy or smells of alcohol, stop the car immediately.

Don't gamble with your life on those Himalayan bends.

The Takeaway: Kedarnath is beautiful, but the commercialization and lack of ethics by some local operators are high. Go for the Mahadev, but keep your eyes open and your expectations for "comfort" low.
