[Resolved]  ICICI Bank — MAB charges

Address:Udaipur, Rajasthan

Dear Sir,

This is SANJEEV SARDANA, holding an ICICI saving b/a :[protected]. My complaint is related to the minimum account balance charges, that bank has debited from my account without even notifying there policy changes, if any. I get quarterly statements but I have never got any information about the policy changes. I think ICICI bank is not even following the guidelines mentioned by RBI.
It is extremely disheartening that Bank is just debiting hefty amount from their customer's hard earned money , without any intimation through phone or statement or any way.

Who has given right to them to debit the amount without any notice or intimation to the customer? How one can be updated with the hidden rules modification.?

Please find the below details for all the transactions made by bank.

Please take some action against this bank for not complying RBI standards / guidelines. And help to get back the debited amount , as there was no proper communication.

Deduction of MAB charges without informing about the change
I am having a savings account with ICICI bank, Jayanagar 3rd block, Bangalore, Karnataka since last 5 years. My account no. is[protected].

My account has been debited by Rs. 280.90 on 03/10/12 for MAB charges for Aug-12.

I was very shocked to see deduction of minimum balance charges as I have always been maintaining minimum quarterly average balance of Rs. 10,000 in my account.Through detailed searching on the Internet I was able to find that your bank has changed the system of minimum balance from Minimum Quarterly Average Balance to Minimum Monthly Average Balance some months back. However it is very DISAPPOINTING to note that your Bank did not even bothered to inform the existing customers about this major change.

Since I was never informed about change of system of minimum balance from quarterly to monthly basis and my quarterly average balance was more than Rs. 10,000 during the period for which charges have been deducted, the charges of Rs. 280.90 wrongly deducted from my account must be credited back to my account immediately.

Since your bank has not informed me about change of balance system, hence any deduction from account for the same is totally wrong and if charges deducted are not credited back to my account then I will be left with no other option but to take this matter to higher authorities and Banking Ombudsman as this is CLEAR VIOLATION of Rule 8(1)(k) i.e. "levying of charges without adequate prior notice to the customer" of The Banking Ombudsman Scheme 2006.

I am having a savings account with ICICI bank, Sec-11, Panchkula, Haryana . My account no. is[protected].
I was regularly maintaining Quaterly Average Min balance of Rs 10, 000/- till May'13.Recently when I was checking my bank statement, it was learnt that at monthly basis MAB Chgs of Rs 393.26 being deducted since May13.

I don't have any mail informing about this MAB charges. I only knew about QAB charges. I have no information from ICICI. No call, no mail and no msg. Now that I understand that ICICI bank has not informed me about change of balance system, hence any deduction from account for the same is totally wrong and if charges deducted are not credited back to my account then I will be left with no other option but to take this matter to higher authorities and Banking Ombudsman as this is CLEAR VIOLATION of Rule 8(1)(k) i.e. "levying of charges without adequate prior notice to the customer" of The Banking Ombudsman Scheme 2006.

I have been working overseas in US for past 5 years. I have an ICICI savings account which i have opened in Powai branch Mumbai while I was in India for doing my stock trading. I have returned back to India last year. I have accidentally noticed that ICICI has been deducting an amount of Rs.390+ taxes from my account for the past 3 years! I had the minimum balance maintained in account according to the back agreements before I was leaving to US and now i have noticed that my account balance it brought down to less 1000 Rupees after all the deductions from bank. I was never notified about the deductions and its like almost 7000 deducted from account as the MAB charges till date. I have visited a nearby ICICI bank in Bangalore and they are saying they cannot do anything on this regard. I want to file a complaint against ICICI bank as Cheating consumers by deducting amount from my account without prior notices. I need the amount back or I would like to close the account for this madness.
My ICICI account number is[protected]

I have ICICI BANK Acount at Powai branch mumbai, My acount no. is[protected]. From last two month they had levied two time penalty of 390. Its bank responsibility to inform the customer, if they are deducting any amount.

As this is source of income for ICICI BANK, if by mistake any customer fails to check the statemnt, then bank will just take all the amt. in the way of MAB Charges.

RBI should act on this matter..
Hi,

I am Mounika, my account is a salary account. Amount has been deducted in the name of Minimum Account Balance for three times.

Please do needful.

Regards,
S.Mounika
