The most commonly reported banking complaint in India by consumers include bad customer service, checks/funds bouncing, extra charges levied, debit/credit card blocked etc. So what can be done to these reported complaints against bank? First and foremost step should be contacting the bank’s customer care itself as they genuinely care about the customer satisfaction and would be willing to resolve the consumer complaints. Here are customer care number of some of top banks in India :

State bank of India (SBI) Customer Care - 1800 425 3800
