State Bank of India [SBI] Complaints & Reviews

The central government has issued orders to give effect to revised pension to all pensioners in September 2008. In spite of several complaints lodged with the bank orally and in writing the bank authorities have not given effect to the government orders. This is happening in only this branch of State Bank of India. Other branches have complied with central government orders.
The orders regarding revision of pre-2006 pension have been issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare vide OM No.38/37/08-P&PW(A) dated 1.9.2008 and detailed instructions have also been issued to the Pension Disbursing Banks about the revision of Pre-2006 pension vide OM dated 14.10.2008. Orders may be downloaded from the website of www.pensionersportal.com or www.persmin.com.

I am a pensioner retired from BARC Dep. of Atomic Energy and draw my pension from State Bank of India Market Yard Branch.My revised pension is not yet received.

Hi,

During March 2007, I received a call from SBI (Delhi-Gurgoan number) about the Royal Sundaram health insurance policy. I accepted the offer and the health policy for myself and my parents were credited to the SBI Credit card for which the payments were 6 EMIs. I just received a single page letter from Royal Sundaram about the policy number and no health policy card which can be shown in case of hospitalisation. I was not saisfied about the service. But I paid all the 6EMIs and continued to use the SBI credit card. During March 2008, I recieved the monthly bill statement from SBI in which they charged the renewal fee for the policy. I wrote to them 17th March 2008, that I do not want to renew the policy so revert back the charges. After a week or so a lady from SBI called up and said that I must pay the amount since they have already renewed the policy with Royal Sundaram and that I should have informed them earlier. This is the nexus between SBI and Royal Sundaram. Who in the outside world takes Royal Sundaram health policy so they have tied up and then tie the SBI customer.
SBI or the Royal Sundaram should have contacted me in Feb or March and asked for renewal but neither did so.
I asked the lady to reverse the transaction but she refused. So I told her to hotlist my card. I shredded the card and the bank itseld acknowledges that the card is inactive.
Now for last 2 months I am getting calls from SBI to pay the bill, now they have added penalty and interest charges all these months. I have constantly refused and told them the whole episode.
Today, ie. Sunday, 28th December 2008, at 4.00pm I recieved a call from SBI[protected] and the person Mr. Shinde warned me of dire consequence saying "if i don't pay for the bill, in future I may be in trouble" I particularly asked him if he is calling from SBI or DSA or any recovery acengy, but he adamantly said "SBI Credit Division" and disconnected the call.
I am going to complaint to the Obdusman at RBI and SBI and want to see waht action is taken against these companies.
In future, I may apply to any loan with any bank I may be rejected the loan since SBI will send my name to the CIBIL.
I particularly see more number of complaints against SBI both on this website and also on RBI.

Some SBI card agent has aproched me at two-three years ago saying that our bank is giving you free card, so I filled that form and I got card .But I have never useed this card for any purpose.I have never made any purchase or widraww any amount from this card.Even I Yet to open this card and document.
Their first statment of card sent to me two years back showing appx.150 rs.balance.Immeditly I called them and mentioned them about their agents words saying this card is lifetime free.further saying if you are going to carge me better you cancelle my card immeditlyi have no intrest in your card.
But now since last one month their recovery agents are calling me on my cell or land line saying now you have to pay rs 5000/- .They are calling me at any time of the day. if my wife takes call they are using very bad langauge.Even to me they are saying we will do anything to you, will make police case and giving such thereats to me.Further they are saying why you are going to bank, we will come to your place and settel in rs.1000/- only.
But why should I pay for this as I never used this card

As You know SBI has migrated from traditional banking(Counter based) to ATM in recent years. and they have upgraded there core hardware & software to cater the high data trafic. but the ATM machines which have been installed in first phase, their strenght to read the cards have become less so the older cards (looking good as a face of the card ) are not read in these ATMs.
It shows error as "Invalid Card". Bank officials are saying to replace the card at the cost of 225 Rs. this is a failure of the bank to upkeep the card reader in uptodate condition. for banks failure why the cudtomer should pay.
A point In case the Card works in one ATM at SBI main branch at Bistupur(Jamshedpur) while on other ATM(Just besides the other one) it shows the invalid card.
Request you to take up with bank for correcting the card reader rather than making new cards at the cost of the customer.

I visited the ATM-Hirakud branch during 05:45 pm to 06:00pm and allowed the ATM to draw Rs. 500.00. But, as soon as the ATM started to release the posted amount (Rs. 500 only), due to fluctuation of power frequency, the ATM got shut down. Very soon I checked my balance in ONLINE SBI banking & found to know that Rs. 500.00 has been already deducted from my account.

Sir,
I hereby want to lodge a complaint against SBI, gmch branch, guwahati, assam.
Today at 11:49 am i recieved token no CS230 for making a draft to secretary, CBSE, DELHI-110092 for filling up the examination form of AIEEE in da name of my son Ashim jyoti Choudhury. When my turn arrived the official at counter no. 4 simply told me dat he cannot issue a demand draft as the transaction time was over and that extended hour was going on. I waited there for almost 2 hours. I am a patient of hypertension. When i asked him to issue the draft as it was very urgent as the form has to reach Delhi before fifth of january 2009, he just acted very rudely. He said that he will do all the transactions except issuing demand draft. When i approached the branch manager even he was reluctant to hear my plea. I have retired from department of post as office superintendent from Meghdoot Bhawan, the head office of postal dept. in Assam. I have give service for almost 48 yrs but never in my life i have behaved in such a rude manner to any person approaching me for any kind of service and i could never imagine such behaviour from a responsible officer of SBI. So, i request you to take appropriate action against the errant officer of SBI, GMCH branch. While issuing the token i was not told that if the transaction time is over draft will not be issued. Otherwise I would not have waisted 2 long hours standing at the queue. Hence, I kindly plea you to look into the matter and take appropriate action at the earliest.

Looking forward to you.

It was 19th of November'2008 at 9:30 A:M when I went to Jharkhand ATM Distt Chatra to withdraw an amount of Rs. 17, 000/- from my SBI ATM. In spite of applying the whole process of withdrawing the money from ATM i was not been able to get the amount from there. But the most strange thing happened with me is that the same amount was debited from my account. I at once informed the local SBI Branch and at Rithala, Delhi Branch (My A/c's Branch) and also filed an application against that for which i have been told to wait for 4 days but after that also i have not got any response from SBI people. Now after more than one month we are still standing on the same place. I 'm continuously getting the false excuses from the SBI people.

You are requested to kindly consider this matter and give me a feedback at the earliest.

Kindly help to credit the amount as earliest.

Thanks & Regards,
Vivek Kumar
