[Resolved]  ICICI Bank — Double debiting of money while using ATM 1976 of ICICI bank Bhuteshwar Road Mathura (U.P)

Dear Sir,

I am a customer of SBI, Sector 16, Panchkula, Haryana having my saving bank account number [protected] and SBI Card No : 2586

On January 16 I used ATM 1976 of ICICI bank Bhuteshvar Road Mathura (U.P) for withdrawal of money. I inserted my SBI ATM card & and proceeded to withdraw 14, 000. Initially the machine showed that it is processing and then suddenly it stopped and gave out some printed message conveying its inability to withdraw money. I double checked that no cash has been dispensed. I asked the guard weather there is money in the ATM machine? He told that there is enough money. I inserted the card again and successfully withdrew Rs. 14, 000. Both the slips 5616 and 5617 were thrown there in the paper bin.

After that I used my ATM card on 30 January 09 at an SBI Branch and found my balance less by Rs. 14, 000. I rang my SBI branch at Panchkula and was told that 14, 000 has been debited twice on 16 Jan 09. I was stunned.On 31st Jan 2009 I wrote a letter to SBI Panchkula and also approached the ICICI branch from where money was withdrawn and the person at table no 13 told that there was no surplus money on this date. He suggested me to approach customer care of SBI (my Bank). Then I contacted customer care of SBI who told I should contact ICICI Bank and SBI Bank Panchkula.On 3rd Feb 2009 I handed over a letter at ICICI bank Bhuteshvar Road Mathura (U.P). On 18th Feb I again met ICICI Mathura and asked about the progress on my letter. I was told that there was no surplus money and no reverse entry on this date. They will not take any action on that letter

Normally it happens that when there is such wrong entry, the ATM machine automatically gives the credit entry (reverse entry). When there is neither any surplus amount and nor any reverse entry, then where the money has gone? The MACHINE CAN NOT EAT THE MONEY!!

You are requested to find out the where this Rs 14, 000 has gone and offer the credit to the above mentioned ATM card. An early action is requested in the matter .

Thanking you.

Yours truly,
Ved Parkash Garg
