Attached is screenshot of mail sent to company MD and still no satisfactory action being taken to resolve issue.

Hi Aditya Puri Sir,
Good morning.
My name - xxxxxxxx. I am based out of New York. I have taken home loan from HDFC limited from Pune Branch in the month of January 2018. I have approached to HDFC Bank and they routed me to HDFC Limited.
I have some issues to highlight for your reference.
Let me explain everything in detail :
The loan was disbursed on 16th January 2018. On the same day during disbursement all documents including multiple copies of ACH form were submitted. Without that disbursement cheque wouldn't have been issued, right?
I was being told that on 16th of every month EMI amount will be debited from my NRO account.
I did see on February 16th a charge being made to my NRO SBI account of EMI amount.
Around March 25th realized that auto-debit didn't happen on planned 16th March. I ended up reaching SBI asking if they denied any transaction. Well, they said nothing was denied.
I came back to HDFC asking for what has gone wrong and why I wasn't intimated about no transaction. After lot of to-fro, I was being told to pay it thru "paynimo" which I did.
Are you seeing funny side here - Customer is coming to bank and saying loan EMI was not debited from account, please do that.
From 16th January until March 25th I didn't receive a single email or phone call from HDFC about any issue or anything.
Things doesn't stop here. I happened to send subsequent emails about sorting the issue. Again, I am not receiving any response.
Just go thru below mail-chain and you will realize there is no response on my last 2 emails sent in last 14 days. You will see few more emails sent out to different teams in HDFC and no response received from them either.
I do understand that there is time window of 24-48 hrs to respond back to customer. But look here, customer is not getting response for almost 10 days even after sending reminder email. Is that what you call good customer service?
After recent incidents India has seen about businessmen taking bank loan and fleeing out of country, a genuine customer like me coming upfront and asking bank to charge me for Loan EMI and bank people are not even responsible enough to do their duty and not even sending a single email saying "we are working on it"? Or bank is going to charge customer for late payment and then notify me? All I am saying is at-least keep customer informed.
AND YES, I DON'T SEE EMI BEING DEBITED FROM MY ACCOUNT FOR THIS MONTH AS WELL.
Hope after this email, you can guide your team to take necessary measures so that I don't have keep doing this every month for next 15 years/ until loan closure.
Is that the customer service I should expect that too NRI case? I pity for the customers who live in India and take bank loan from HDFC.
Extremely disappointed that's what I can say!!!

All I can say - proving to be one of the worst decision I have taken by choosing this bank. I wish I could have gone with trusted bank like SBI or IDBI.
I have never been into such sort of situation in USA where customer has to go to bank to ask them to charge for EMI. Any kind of banking service is just a call away or click away from your computer.
Looks like I have to go thru proper channel if they end up charging me any late payment for their mistake.
