Indian Overseas Bank — Debit Card Not Issued | |||||
Dear Sir/Mam, My name is Amol Ajit Rahatekar, since more than 20 years, I have a savings account No. [protected] with Pune City Branch of Indian Overseas Bank, Pune. I have always maintained good balance with the bank account. In Nov. 2015 i went to fill up petrol in me two-wheeler. However I did not have cash so I presented my IOB debit card to the vendor, but to my surprise the card did not work as it showed 'Expired' status even tough it was due to expire in Dec. 2015. I faced a lot of humility and trouble. So next day I went to the Pune City Branch of Indian Overseas Bank and asked the Branch Manager why my card was disabled before the due date. To this, he had no answer and asked me to apply for a new one. Other banks like ICICI Bank, where I have another savings account, send new cards by courier as soon as the old cards are about to expire. Indian Overseas Bank does not have a proper system to deal with this issue. Even after waiting for more than 2 months, I did not get my new card. Upon enquire, the manager told, there is a problem in their system which is being upgraded to a new software therefore they are not able to issue debit cards. I faced great inconvinience. Then I sent a written complaint to the branch manager and warned him about lodging a cunsumer complaint case against the bank, still he did not budge. Today, it has been more than ten months, they have not given me a debit card. Today they are saying, you will get a debit card without my name printed within 2-3 days. They have fooled me so many months. Every bank prints names of account holders on the card, why is Indian overseas bank denying me the service and previledge. I want strict legal action to be taken against the bank and the branch manager, send them to 2-3 years prison and compensate me appropriately for the mental agony I went through due to visiting the branch so many times for such a small thing. My old age father, uncle had to visit the bank so many times for follow-up. I will never recommend anyone to deal with Indian Overseas Bank in my life. It is the worst bank in the world. Thank you, Amol A Rahatekar Was this information helpful? | |||||
