I am the Chairman of the this public Trust namely Sat Gopal Religious & Charitable Trust located at Village Hamidpur PO: Kalpi ( Saha) 133104 which is registered and its accounts are being regularly audited by Income Tax. The Trust raises its funds primarily as Donations and loans @ 12 % interest from friends and relatives only. Being Chairman, I run the SB account with the Bank.
There were some practices adopted by the Bank in this account in the past which were irritant to me though those transactions were well in accordance with the banking practices. May be due to ignorance or being less efficient on the part of bank employees. After discussion, those irritant practices were not followed thereafter . However, these seems to have spoiled our cordial relation with the Bank. It is in the knowledge of the Bank that I retired as a Supdt. of Police CBi and as such had dealt many bank cases.
I used to conduct all transactions through Cheques so as to keep the record straight. I did not get the Cheque book for more than a month though I approached the bank for the same. I had applied for the Cheque book on phone around 12th May but the Cheque book was received around 28th June. As such, on behalf of the Trust, number of payments were to be made from my resources / Imprest as well of my spouse who is also a Trustee, And the payments out of Imprest did not incur the interest liability. to me or to my spouse on the part of Trust whereas on the Loans advanced by us before 10th of the Month, Trust was to pay the interest amounts.
To straighten the accounts of the Trust and also to ensure that the Trustees do not loose the due interest amount on loans, number of Transfer transactions were being made by me. This happened around 2nd June as we had to leave for Faridabad on 5th June for our planned visit to USA from 11th June. The Manager took exception to the transfer transactions and termed those illegal and gave the veiled threat that he may freeze the Trust account. Transactions may be seen from Account no [protected]. I have not done any transaction thereafter and now presently in USA. I will be coming back on 3rd August and may not feel comfortable to visit HDFC Branch Saha.
To explain the matter there and then I wrote a letter and handed over to the Manager which he failed to acknowledge.
It was explained that the transferred funds may be of similar amounts but their nature i.e. Loan or reimbursement may be different. I have not details readily available with me in USA, I may provide the exact details after 3rd August. I have emphasized to the Manager, that for this Income Tax Department is competent and at the best, he may inform that Authority.
HDFC Bank customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
