File a complaint against Bank services

Banking Complaints

A bank refers to a financial instituition that accepts deposits and creates credit. Banks are of utmost importance to the economy and are a safe place to deposit excess cash. As per the RBI website, there are a total number of 19 nationalized banks in India. These include Allahabad Bank, Bank of Baroda, Union Bank, Uco Bank etc. According to a recent survey by Times of India, every hour 11 people complain against their bank. 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
Union Bank of India (UBI) Customer Care - 1800 22 2244
Allahabad Bank Customer Care - 1800 57 22 000
Bank of Baroda Customer Care - 1800 102 4455
UCO Bank Customer Care - 1800 274 0123
Bank of Maharashtra Customer Care - 18002334526
Bank of India (BOI) Customer Care - 1800 22 0229
Central Bank of India (CBI) Customer Care - 1800 22 1911
HDFC Bank Card Customer Care - 1800 266 4332

Punjab National Bank (PNB) Customer Care - 1800 180 2222
Axis Bank Customer Care - 1860 419 5555

So apart from calling at these customer care numbers what else can be done? First things first the customer can visit the bank and meet the officials or complain at the grievance cell to sort out the issue. Moreover some banks have an option of filing a complaint at their website also. However if the bank is unwilling to address the issue then you can approach the Banking Ombudsman. A banking ombudsman is a senior offical appointed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to resolve consumer complaints against deficiency in the banking services. So far there a total number of 15 Bank Ombudsman whose number can be found on the official RBI website. The consumer has to file a complaint at the ombudsman under whose juridiction the bank branch is location. All the consumer has to do is write in down on paper, or send complaint via email. There are no charges for filing a complaint. However if you are not satisfied with the settlement offered by the ombudsman, you can file an appeal before the appellate authority within 30 days.
