Dear Sir / Madam,
I have raised below issues ( detailed in 2 appended mails ) against ICICI Direct.
They have a TAT of opening a new Trading Account of 11 Days, i already have an account which was inactive, even after following their advice to re-activate it they are not doing it since last 3 Months. They have taken KYC Docs from Me twice & have taken my signatures on few Forms but have not recvd any feedback / update from them even after writing to them twice & calling & having word with them for so many times.
I am worried that my KYC Docs & Signatures on the submitted Forms do not get misused & thus wanted to highlight the behavior of this Company.
In my mails below written to them u"ld find all the details & need ur advise / help regarding the same.
Need to take this matter up with the concerned & want to make them realize about their intentional unlawful behavior.
Regards,
Chaitanya Joshi...

Hello,
Though i have experienced that even after documenting & highlighting the service flaws to the Head - Service Delivery no one throughout the hierarchy bothered to address or resolve the issue for 2 over Weeks. More annoying thing is that even a simple update is not been given to me after my repeated directions to different individuals representing ur Organization ( like a Senior RM, Branch Head, Cstm Service Exec, Cstm Service Mgr / Supervisor ) to keep me posted about what is happening on the issues raised.
This is the most unprofessional approach shown by an Organization which claims to be best & the largest in this Country.
I really doubt the credibility of the individuals with whom i have interacted till now since no one was able to advise me correctly & resolve a very small A/C Opening / activation issue in over 2 & Half Months Time.
This is a very ridiculous & unprincipled attitude towards my requests.
I"ld have been more contended if someone could have clearly told me that same can not be done & i better try to open / activate the Trading A/C somewhere else.
In ICICI Direct the normal TAT to open a New Trading A/C is less than re-activation of the Old A/C, extremely strange but true.
After writing a harsh mail earlier to highlight the delay & deficiency in services i was under the impression that u"ld take cognizance & act fast to ensure Cstm satisfaction & delight after irritating him, but u hardly bother about the same.
When i told this to my Friend working with ICICI Group Co. he could not stop laughing ........ just 2 & Half Month to open / reactivate an A/C.
Anyways ........ no point in expressing an anguish since i have well experienced ur insensitive outlook.
The only reason why i approached ICICI is not due to ur reputation but the proximity o[censored]r Branch from my Home. A decision i"ld always regret.
I really wonder if at the A/C opening stage this is the service quality, how ur RM's / Wealth Managers would guide me if i approach them for Share Trading Tips, etc. Are they qualified or again i"ll have to face same attitude......... God help me.
I request ur honest advise whether i could expect & get an activated A/C or should i move on & approach some other Company.
I want ur response in writing so please do the needful as requested.
Regards,
Chaitanya Joshi...

Hi,
My Name is Chaitanya Ashok Joshi, from Pune, i had a Trading A/C with ICICI which i had opened almost 7-8 Yrs back.
There was only 1 initial transaction done thru it & after that it was dormant till now.
I wanted to restart doing transactions / trading & thus had approached ur Dahanukar Colony Branch, Pune in 2nd Week of Dec - 12.
One of the Senior RM had advised me that i need to resubmit my updated KYC & a Form which i did immediately.
She confirmed that now A/C "ld get operational & i can do transactions after 11 Working days.
When i again walked in to the same Branch in 2nd Week of Jan - 13 they gave me some funny reason that their authorized Courier Services Agent have been changed
& due to that there was a delay in reaching the KYC & Form to the respective Operations & Processing Team.
However on 27th Dec - 12 i received a SMS stating that my KRA KYC Form is been received & my PAN No is KRA KYC Verified.
Even after a month since there was no communication from ur side, i had to walk in again to have an update & there was nothing the Branch people were able to tell me about delay in the activation of my A/C.
Then the RM along with the Branch Head advised me that i should fill an Account Re-execution Form for further processing, but i categorically told them that whatever they want they can take it from me for the one last time, so to be further sure the Branch Head asked me to fill up & submit one more new A/C Opening Form along with the Photograph.
I submitted the Form then & there only, but i did not had the Photograph readily available, so he told me that they "ld hold it at their end & once i submit the Photo they "ld ensure processing in max 2 Working days time.
But due to some Family exigencies i had to go to my native place for almost 2 Weeks so was not able to provide the Photo early.
However on 5th Feb - 13 i personally handed over the Photograph to the respective Senior RM & once again re-checked still anything is pending / required from my side, to which i was assured that all formalities are completed & A/C "ld be active in max 4 - 5 Working Days or 1 Week.
Today i am writing to you & its exactly 2 Weeks or 12 Working Days that there is no communication from ur side once again.
I hope u would agree with my annoyance & the apathy shown by the individuals involved towards me.
My Concerns are ::
1. I had asked ur Senior RM & Branch Head that if things are getting delayed i am OK with it but i should be kept posted about that,
which never happened.
2. Was my request so complicated that no one even ur call center ( with whom i spoke for more than half an Hr. ) was able to give any
kind of status update on my A/C or Application ?
3. Why there is no System / MIS that even ur Branch Head is not aware of the Status of my Application / request.
4. I had given my KYC Docs / Photograph / Signed Application Form along with some other details, how will i come to know that these
are safe enough with you & "ld not get misused.
5. Why the Staff is not sensitive enough to understand Cstm. requests & address it efficiently ( since i had to update 2 diff individuals 2
times at both Branch & Call Center but no action) ?
6. If i"ld have been a NTB Cstm or had approached for a New A/C or Investment or Credit Card or any Loan etc. there "ld have an entirely
diff treatment. Is that so ?
I "ld appreciate if someone "ld take cognizance of this matter & "ld come forward to resolve this in least possible time.
I have categorically avoided to mention the name of the individuals involved from ICICI Direct in my mail & if you come to know who they are "ld request not to reprimand them but rather make them conscious to avoid such instances in future.
Regards,
Chaitanya Joshi...
