[Resolved]  State Bank of India — My amount transferred to another account

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Please treat this as URGENT
This is the complaint against AGM, BM, State Bank of India, Anna Salai Branch, Chennai.
Vivekananda Kalvi Nilayam, T.Nagar, Chennai (VETA) had submitted my PF withdrawal form for final payment to PF office(Chennai) on 7th December 2009.
I have contacted PF office several hundreds of time (as am based at Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh) to get information about the fate of my PF amount. I could not get proper response from PF. On 6th April I got a letter No.TNMAS/CASH/[protected]/122/49/1C/03/03/2010/11 dated 12.03.2010 addressed to the State Bank of India, Jawahar Chowk Branch, Above Archana Pathology, New Market, Bhopal and copy to me wherein I found that the cheques has been sent to the wrong address as State Bank of India instead of State Bank of Indore. Whereas I have mentioned in application form as “ STATE BANK OF INDORE, JAWAHAR CHOWK BRANCH, ABOVE ARCHANA PATHOLOGY, NEW MARKET, BHOPAL” SB Account No.[protected], However I contacted my banker(State Bank of Indore, Bhopal) as well as State Bank of India, TT Nagar, New Market Branch, Bhopal, they said that they have not received any letter or cheque so far. I sent a letter to PF Redressal addressed to Mr.R.Chandra In June 2010. Then also they have shown me no response. Finally verbally somebody in CASH told me that my cheque No.442239/29.10.2010/Rs.43,256/- & cheque No. 149842/29.10.2010/Rs.12,935/- has been sent from PF to SBI Annasalai.

As till date the said amount has not come to my account, I approached SBI, Annasalai Branch, Chennai. Now the bank people say Rs.12935/- has gone to some other persons account & Fate of Rs.43256/- under the question mark of whereabouts.

From the above it clearly shows the irresponsibility and carelessness of both
1) PF department has sent the cheque to WRONG Bank (now it is one and the same as it is merged)
2) Bank has neither returned to PF Office and transferred that amount to some bodies accounts and not to my account.
I am a very poor earning member and depended on the salary. Because of this I could not even pay my son's & daughters school & college fees timely. Ultimately they both have taken drop this year. As I was not in the Job I had to borrow money on 20% interest. Now even that interest also I cannot offered.
I request the Forum to get me relief from SBI, Anna Salai and settle my claim totally comes to Rs.2.5 lakhs (From Bank & PF Department) with penalty. Atleast Forum will help to return my hard earned money.
