HDFC Bank Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir,

I purchase a Unit Linked Youngstar Plus II Plan from HDFC SLIC by policy No. 10648057 from the ANAND Branch.
I took this policy from the HDFC SLIC Agent named TEJAL. But within few months she left the Company and joined another Company.
As I was having difficulities in paying premiums & Policy Services the Company sent Mr. BHARAT R VALAND to collect the premium and to provide other services.
On August 13, 2008, I gave Cheque No. 7359 for Rs. 25,250 to Mr. Bharat R Valand against my Policy Premium alongwith the revival charges for Rs. 250.
On August 14, 2008, the amount was deposited into the HDFC SLIC account. But the Company didnt credited this amount into my policy. For that I complaint to the Company on October 11, 2010 at Anand Branch by Complaint No. [protected].
I received a letter from the HDFC SLIC on November 29, 2010. In the reply the Company has not taken any responsibility for the miscredited of the amount for Rs. 25,250.
On June 20, 2009, the Company Agent Mr. Bharat R Valand personally collected the premium amount of Rs. 25,250 in Cash, from my Office. But this amount also was not credited to my policy.
Although, I already received Photocopy of both the receipts from Mr. Bharat R Valand.

Please register my Complaint against HDFC SLIC and take appropriate action against the Company.

I am herewith attaching a Copy of Bank Advise stating the amount of Rs. 25,250 debited from my account and credited to HDFC SLIC at Nadiad on August 14, 2008

Thank you very much & looking forward to your immediate action in the matter.

For what their giving ATM card.I asked for CCTV Footage . they told that they wont give the CCTV footage. So please kindly look after my issue. My account number is [protected] . If i dint get proper response i will publish this issue to media.

Dear Sir/ Madam
I, Jaya Grover (previously known as Jaya Khushboo before Marriage) have been thinking to complain about HDFC Bank for a long time but was waiting for a satisfactory resolution from them but I have not been given any importance or value for my complaint so now I am knocking your door for the justice. Let me explain what happened - I have a saving account with HDFC Bank as Jaya khushboo (previous name) which I am paying my car and personal loan through. Car loan Rs. 5720 EMI from HDFC Bank and personal loan Rs. 7051 EMI from ICICI Bank which were being paid very nicely and smoothly. I don't live in India any more as I study in England but I am sending money to my brother who lives in India and he is depositing the enough money in my bank account every month before the EMI date for both the loans. My car loan installments are not going through, despite the fact that I have sufficient money in my bank account. I was not aware of this until my relatives and colleagues of previous profession phoned and told me that they have been getting phone calls from HDFC Bank for me asking my contact details and telling them that they are trying to trace me as I am not paying back my bank loans. I hope you can understand how embarrassing it would be for some one like me who is paying all the debts honestly. to confirm that the money is being deposited into the right account or not my father went to the bank branch with all the deposit receipt and found nothing wrong in the account number and then I phoned up for 3 - 4 times to HDFC Bank customer service to find out what's wrong but unfortunately I did not get any resolution. I spoke to 2 - 3 different people, they all said the same thing that they can see the sufficient funds were there in the account but car loan EMI did not go through and was bounced back twice in a month and that happened for 2 consecutive months October 2010 and November 2010. it has cost me the penalty on the account and ruined my record. First I spoke to Raju on[protected] at 4:30pm IST, he asked me to speak to the car loan department to clarify this as he couldn't find the reason that why it got bounced then I phoned the HDFC car loan department and was told that because of insufficient balance, the payment couldn't go through when I told her that the balance was there for this payment, she asked me to speak to the bank as the payment was rejected for the non-sufficient funds (which is not possible) I again phoned HDFC Bank and spoke to Gurdeep, asked her the same. When she didn't find any satisfactory answer, I requested for a manager/supervisor to speak to me she asked me to be on hold, after a long wait on hold, she disconnected. I again phoned up as I was very frustrated and curious to find out the reason, spoke to Shivani and asked for the supervisor, I got a supervisor on the call named Vijay, explained him everything even he could not find any satisfactory answer to give me.Yo can not expect a bank like HDFC to do such things and have no answer to give to the customers. As I have been paying towards my debts and still being penalized, embarrassed and harassed with annoying phone calls to my relatives and friends also messages on my Facebook profile which they don't have any rights to contact me on. I request you to look into the matter and ask them to resolve this ASAP, also reimburse all the penalty and charges occurred on this particular issue....

Sir,
I am having an account no. [protected] in HDFC bank Roorkee jointly in the name of Mrs. Vibha Agarwal and Pushpendra Kumar Agarwal. I am a Govt. of India employee working in National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee.

I was having sufficient balance in my account as per bank rules. I had regularly maintained the quarterly balance in my bank account which was more than 2500/= per month regularly.

Due to some personal reasons, I have not operated my account for few months. In the month of November, when I went to bank for some transaction, I was surprised to know that Rs. 831/= has been deducted by the bank two times i.e. in the month of July & October 2010. Thus a total deduction of Rs. 1660/= has been deducted from my account by the bank.

After contacting from the Manager, HDFC, I was informed that the bank has changed its policy from April 2010 & increased the limit of the minimum quarterly balance from 2500/= to 5000/= w.e.f. 1.4.2010.

I asked the manager of the bank that I was unknown from the change of the policy of the bank as there is no change in the ceiling of the other banks like, SBI, PNB, UTI etc. Further, I was not been informed by the bank neither by written information, nor by SMS on mobile, or by E.mail.

The manager has refunded RS.831/= as one time deduction in my account. However, a loss of RS. 831/- was given to me.


Sir, I have only the fault that I have not made transactions between the said period. However, to the best of my knowlege, I have maintained my account bank as per banks policy. If bank has changed any policy the same must be provided to me by the bank through letter or by mail.

Since bank has not informed about the change in the policy, why should I suffer for the huge amount without any fault. Being a Govt. servant amount of RS. 831/= is sufficient money for me.

It is requested to kindly look into the matter and do needful so that I could get refund of money deducted by the bank from my account.

With regards

Yours faithfully

Dear Sir,

I want to lodge a complaint against the teller and the incharge Madam Nidhi. They are just wasting time talking to each other ignoring the customers. The customers are made to wait for at least one hour to deposit cash. Their irresponsible behavior should be a concern for HDFC Bank as the reputation it has earned over the years is being put to stake because of a few careless people. They are rude to customers and make fun of them.

I hope some senior official reads the grievance and take necessary action so that the staff starts behaving in a professional manner.

Dear sir,

Hi,

We had a fixed deposit with HDFC of which we lost the track and hence were unable to update the address details, We have moved from the address which was registered while opening FD. All of the sudden there were letters from HDFC which were fortunately forwarded by the new tenent that the FD money is moved to IEPF and we will not be able to claim it. It was a quite big amount above 1 lack and we can not really afford giving it to charity like this. Please help us by letting us know how can we claim the refund of this money from IEPF. We know the FD Number.

Regards and Appriciate your help.

Builder paid fees for the amount sanctioned, but I was also charged By Koperkhairane Navi Mumbai Branch 1533.00 from me, whch was never communicated to me by anyone.

It is not understood, why such an esteem organisaion's agents and empoyess misguide the customer, they donot stick what they say. It is not matter of money, It is value which these empoyees Lack.

I have taken a DD[protected] on 11/10/2010 from HDFC somajiguda branch (Raj Bhavan Road) in favor of INSURANCE REGULATORY AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, but they have issued Manager cheque and the same was submitted to IRDA however, DD was rejected because of "Manager cheque". this is inconvenience to the customers and Yesterday i have visited to HDFC somajiguda branch and explained them that Manager cheque was issued instead of DD to which none of them responded to the same, now branch people are saying to cancel "Manager Cheque" and they also told me that the DD is issued only for Non local's .

I am unhappy with HDFC services.

This is fraudulent services that "Manager Cheque" was issued instead of DD. HDFC bank being a reputed organization they don't care the customers.

I strongly feel that the staff has to be trained on how to handle customers and they don't know what they doing.

Recently ( effective from 1st Nov 2010 ) HDFC Ltd. introduced a new "convenience charge" of Rs. 100 for Home Loan customers paying the EMI via online payment facility. The reasoning given in the website ( to encourage the customers to pay via other means like PDC/ECS so that they do not have to pay penulty for forgetting the dates ) sounds very lame and it looks they have done this just for their own assurance and control over the EMI payment. This is unfair treatment for the customers and I believe this needs to be taken back ASAP. There is no extra expense from HDFC to maintain this facility awhereas this enables a lot of customers like myself to do a bank transfer online. There is anyways a late payment penulty for EMIs and so I believe HDFC should not have any right to forceably impose this "fee" to the customers.
