Dear Authorities,

I'm writing to express my concern as I feel cheated by “Dewan Housing Finance Corporation” which is now a part of “Piramal Enterprises”. I'm a 63 years old widow women. I had worked all my life as a school teacher and accumulated some money which I had invested in a fixed deposit scheme with DHFL on 05th September, 2018. It was a sum of rupees five lakhs invested @ 9.10% annual return. I did not get any return from this fixed deposit as the company was declared insolvent and my hard earned money was blocked with them for over a period of three years. I went to their head branch office to file a claim under insolvency act almost two years ago. It is now, when I had received only a part of the payment i.e. INR 122500 out of my principal amount of INR 5lacs from DHFL on 29th September, 2021. When I called in the company office to know the status of the remaining amount, I was told that this is a final amount which was paid to the FD holders and I shouldn't expect anything more from the company. I was also told that the investors who had FD amount till INR 2lacs were given 100% money back and more than 2lacs were only given around 23% of their money back.

I felt so broke and cheated. I had worked all my life to save this much of money and then invested them thinking that I will be securing my old age and future with this investment but I didn't know that this will eventually put me and my future in dark. I'm an old citizen, had paid taxes to the government all my life, got over with my responsibilities as a single parent for my children and now when I actually wanted to save something for me to safeguard my future this is how I end up losing my money.

I'm writing to request your assistance to get my complete money back with interest which a sum of rupees (In words) six lakhs, forty-nine thousand, two hundred and ninety-seven, (In figure) INR 649297 so that I can secure my old age and live with dignity with whatever remaining time that I have.

My details are as follows:
