What to do if you have a Bank Related Grievance?

You can get a resolution to your grievance in three ways:

1. By Approaching the Bank

 

  • Make a phone call to your bank branch and try to get a resolution to your grievance

 

  • Physically visit the bank branch to find a solution

 

  • Write down your grievance and give it to the bank manager for a resolution

 

  • Wait for 3-5 days for resolution

 

  • Revisit the bank and enquire about the progress of the complaint

 

  • Wait for 3-5 days

 

  • If the complaint is not resolved, or, you are dissatisfied with the resolution, file a complaint with the RBI

2. By Approaching the RBI Ombudsman

 

  • If the bank does not provide a solution to your issue, or, if you are unhappy with the resolution, you can file a complaint with the RBI.

 

  • Your complaint is addressed to the RBI Ombudsman.

3. By Using the Integrated Ombudsman Scheme

 

  • As per the One Nation One Ombudsman character of the scheme, you don’t have to identify the grounds, jurisdiction, department and authority before filing your complaint.

 

  • The portal automatically assigns Deficiency of Service as the ground for the complaint.

 

  • Your complaint cannot be rejected easily as no Ombudsman can now say it is outside their jurisdiction.
