[Resolved]  HDFC Bank — THREAT TO CLOSE MY SBI ACCOUNT

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

REF: S/B Account No: [protected]
Sir
I have been banking with HDFC ( Earlier Centurion Bank Ltd) since 1998.
To my surprise and shock have received letter dated 24th Dec 2010 from
Mr Anindya Mitra( Sr.V. President-Retail Liabilities Product Group)HDFC Bank
Warning /Threatning me to close the account within 30 days ( without giving any reason)
Failing which my account will be closed without any further notice and credit balance will be sent to me
at my address by Bankers cheque.
I had visited the Borivali ( west ) Branch met Mr Hemendra Dave ( Branch Manager) who was totally ignorant
as to why such letter has been sent to me. He promised me to that he will check up with Head office and come back to me
There were other account holders like me with same complain.
It seems HDFC bank is not interested in providing core banking services and are only interested in Mutual funds and Insurance schemes where they can make good profits.
HDFC Bank Might have grown Big but How can your bank act like this and refuse the service to the society?
What if we collectively start refusing to deal with HDFC Bank and refuse HDFC bank Cheques.
I would request you to kindly look in to this and reply me immediately, failing which i shall send my complains to newspapers/consumer FORUM

Thanks and Regards
Haresh Raisinghani/Mumbai
