Abstract

Banks often accept handwritten forms for various purposes like application for creating or closure of accounts, loans, net banking, etc. The form takes a lot of user information consisting of sensitive data viz. Aadhar card number, pan card number. This information is usually taken in pen-paper format and needs entry to the bank database to document the particulars in the system or the bank requires to store a physical copy of the form for future reference. Manual entry of these details into the bank database is a tedious process and might be erroneous at times. Also, maintaining the original copy of the form or like document generate stockpiles of paper. In an attempt to overcome these discrepancies, the proposed problem statement provides a solution by making use of Handwritten Character Recognition which will input data in the form of an image to store and maintain it in a digital library.
