[Resolved]  Standard Chartered + STCI Capital Markets India — ILLEGAL DEALING WITH MY ACCUNT OPENING APPLICATION AND PAYMENT CHEQUE

One DSA sales representative of the Standard Chartered STCI Capital Market, Kolkata visited my place in December 2008 (last year) and got me signed one blank 3-in-1 account opening docket that I have signed as the said representative assured me in writing that all about 50 copies of the form pages - where I have signed in the form - would be sent to me soon as it was not practically possible to get the entire form photocopied then, also to read the entire form completely besides to avoid mistakes in form filling in process the DSA wanted me to sign the form blank so that they can fill it in carefully, without making any error but of course according to my instruction those I have supported with by providing relevant documents.

However, even after elapsing more than 6 months from the date of signing the 3 in 1 account opening docket No.[protected] by me, Standard Chartered have received it and also en-cashed the account opening cheque required but Standard Chartered has NOT verified the filled in content with me.

Since the date of signing the application form till date Standard Chartered Capital Market has NOT provided me the certified copies of at least all those papers where I have made about 50 signatures in a blank 3 in 1 account opening docket, it’s representative though promised me in writing to provide me the same and I have only signed those papers on his written promise. The application could be treated as valid only after I do receive those copies said and also Standard Chartered Capital Market verifies the content of the form before the account opening.

Since the date of signing the application form, Standard Chartered Capital Market has neither opened the account nor sent me the welcome kit till date to my desired communication address for which I have provided relevant supporting documents.

So if Standard Chartered Capital Market has cancelled the said application/docket for any reason then they should have returned me the relevant cheque issued by me in this regard.

Moreover, if Standard Chartered Capital Market has already opened the account in question then they has done it wrongfully and in that case the account opening agreement should be treated as null and void for the reasons as stated in the above statements.

Since there are only two possibilities those could have happened with the said account opening form said, so (a) in case of cancellation of the said form for any reason Standard Chartered Capital Market should have referred it to me for necessary action or else (b) they should have verified the content of the form with me that I have signed in blank in good faith, provide me the signed in copies of the form and then only Standard Chartered Capital Market could have sent me the welcome kit but they have not acted in reasonable ways and by doing so.

They have remain prejudiced about my question as stated above.

Therefore, considering the above stated facts, it appears that either I need to take the matter legally or else I need to escalate the issue with the higher authority so before doing that I am posting this problem in this forum.
