ICICI Bank Complaints & Reviews

Hi I have a company saving account with ICICI bank for the last 10 months. On 6th January while using my debit card, i found that it is showing insufficient funds. After checking with the bank, they informed that the account is blocked because i have a credit card amount due. I am not using any existing icici credit card. On further investigation, they informed that it is a 7 year old amount for which i have not paid. I am shocked that since last 10 months, they did not do anything and all of a sudden they have blocked the card. I have a 4mnth old daughter and i had to purchase some urgent stuff for her and my card did not work. It was embarassing. Atleast the bank should have informed me of any such happening.

Details of my saving account is as below:
Bank: ICICI
A/c number:[protected]
Branch: Suncity - sec-54, Gurgaon
Kindly help me out.

Sir,

I have a home loan taken in 2003 at 8.25%, which has now become 15.75% ( almost double the initial interest rate). Now I have 15 more months and Rs 3 lak outstanding. I thought of paying Rs 1 Lak as part payment so that the number of EMIs may come down to 7. But, to my surprise, I was told that as per rules I can not reduce the tenure to less than 13 month and I can pay Rs 30K to reduce two EMIs.

Now I am stuck with a situation to pay entire Rs 3 Laks in one go and preclose. Or live with it where they have at liberty to raise the interest rate in the next 15 months as they like. It is totally one sided. When I do not have option to do part payment, at least the interest shall be fixed for the last 13 months.

Is there any way I can file a consumer complaint?

Sub:- Complaint against possible violations of the Indian Penal Code by the ICICI Officials

Ref: Complaint No with ICICI Bank Customer Care: SR[protected]; ICICI Bank Account No: [protected] (V Sridharan, Aaditi Shridharan)

I am constrained to write to you for justice since this incident involves possible offence of ‘Criminal breach of trust ‘ Cheating ‘ and forgery under the Indian Penal Code. Under the Law I am entitled to proceed against all the Directors of the Bank and also you as the Compliance Head for the following offence which has deprived me of my hard earned money :


I did last with drew Rs. 5000/- (Rupees five thousand only) on 29th December 2011 at HDFC Bank ATM in Ambi – Varle Road Talegaon Dabhade, Maval (TK), Pune (Dist).

Post which my card has been misused By Rs. 65,000.00 (Rupees sixty five thousand only) and please note below the highlighted transactions which are debited from my account while my ATM card is safe and intact with me. I had already advised ICICI Bank customer care to block my ATM card.

The ICICI Bank Customer Care confirmed that the amounts were withdrawn from different ICICI ATMs and as per details provided by ICICI CC, they were withdrawn from Vashi (Mumbai), Navi Mumbai, and Goa, while I was staying at the above stated Reverdale residence since 26th December 2011 till 1st Jan2012. I met the police official Mr. Shaikh – JAMADHAR of Talegaon Dhabade Police station on 31st Dec 2011 at 23:00 hrs and Mr. Sudhakar the ICICI Bank Customer care officer also spoke to the same police official at 00:10 hrs.

The customer care officer & Manager Mr. Sudhakar and Mr. Narendra respectively advised me that ICICI Bank wants FIR registration number basis which the amount will be reversed to my account.

Talegaon Dabhade Police station received the complaint, acknowledged the same and please refer to the 2nd attachment.

On receipt of the acknowledgement from Police, I again contacted ICICI Bank Customer care and spoke to the manager Ms. Muzammil, who told me that Police will investigate and ICICI Bank will support with video sabotages of ATM centers. But no assurance was given on when the money will be reversed to my account.

• Why the 2 customer care managers from ICICI Bank are providing different versions?
• ICICI Bank is custodian of my cash and ICICI Bank software issue led to some one hacking my account. Why ICICI Bank is not taking any ownership?
• I’m a salaried person and No Other earnings (single earning member of the family), and almost 73% of my salary is siphoned off. Is it not ICICI Bank’s responsibility to protect the interest of the customer who had TRUSTED on the bank?
• How ICICI Bank is valuing their customers given that I’ve 10+ years of association with ICICI Bank?

Further, I was informed that the account was skimmed during my visit to Goa 2011 and later the ATM Pin was also tracked. I was assured by the customer care officer on 2nd Jan`12 that concerned ICICI Official will be keeping in touch in 48 hours, but no response so far. I had sent a complaint to customer.[protected]@icicibank.com and I did not receive any response so far.

The ATM Card is still with me and now it is ICICI Bank’s responsibility to transfer the fund immediately to my account and lodge complaint with police to investigate further and strengthen their soft-ware to track skimming of their customer accounts and Debit / Credit Cards etc.

Please help me to recover my hard earned money.

Yours Truly,
V. Sridharan

(Complain against : The investor relation manager, ICICI BANK , 3I Infotech ltd, International infotech park, tower no. 5 ,third floor, Railway station complex, VASHI )
Navi Mumbai – 400703

Dear sir/madam,

I enclose a confirmation of allocation note-cum-call notice no. 243552, which is self explicit.
As it is quite evident as per enclosed notice that 30 shares of ICICI Bank ltd, was fully subscribed, which is at SHCIL, Patna. I do not understand as to why I could not sell the shares when it is fully paid up.
Since I am a poor investor and want to sell the shares in order to meet my urgent need. Definitely there is some lapses at ICICI Investor relation manager.
From past two years I had complained many times, but till now I had’nt received any satisfactory action from the ICICI Investor relation manager.
Kindly look into the matter and remove the hold/restriction if any on my paid 30 shares and inform me accordingly at your earliest possible time.

Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours faithfully,

If this is the case i asked bank people to check with the branch manager same has intimated to him on same day. and he said he will be taking care. I am not at all happy with the service which was given from icici bank. After raising the sr i didn't get any update and sr has been closed without doing any prechecks. I asked bank people if the amount has already been withdrawn then let me know the currency number which was deducted from your bank atm no response

ICICI Bank Customer care Department / Retail Marketing and Sales,


Few years back I opened a account with ICICI Bank for Trading come saving zero balance account.

When I was going through my monthly statement I observed that ICICI bank have changed me several times Rs. 25 /- as a Debit Card decline charges. When I enquired in customer care, they told me the charges was for using your debit card at non ICICI bank POS machine (Merchants machine) which got declined by whatever reason.

(Sometime if the card doesn’t get accepted at first time, merchant always swipes it for 2-3 times)

I enquired with several other banks like (SBI / City bank) and found no such charges exist at all for them.

So what ICIC bank doing is purely unethical and they should understand if they want to sustain in competitive market like India they should be at lest ethical with customer.

Regards,
Ganesh

I have been holding Demat account with ICICI Direct since last 6 years. I have been trading in Equity and IPO sections most of the time in past years. But recently I have started to play in MarginPlus Segment. It was extremely evident from my several MarginPlus Orders placed, that as soon as MarginPlus order is submitted in the Market, Share Price tends drop quickly to catch-up Stop Loss Trigger Price and hence Orders gets executed with Loss incurred for that ORDER. It had happened on many Occasions.

Even today , when Placed order for BAJAJAUTO in the Morning around 10 AM ... the share price was lurking around 1462/61 mark for quite a long time and then I decided to place Buy MarginPlus Order on that share and as soon Order has been placed, the Share Price suddenly started dropping and reached 1416 within 10 Mins.... HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???? ITS SHEAR MANIPULATION OF SHARES???? This had happened many times for many of my orders......... PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP as many innocent CUSTOMERS are being looted by ICICI....

Thanks

ka tax certificate dilane ki kripa kare

Hello,
My Name is Shilpa Kinare. I stay at Thane. This case is about Debit card fraud that happened with me on 29th & 30th Dec 2011.

I have been using ICICI debit card since 2004 (Salary Account) and not had any problem so far.

On 30th Dec 2011, when I was viewing online statement of my saving account, to my surprise, Rs 50000/= (fifty thousand) was shown as withdrawn on 29th Dec night and 30th Dec 2011 early morning.

Money was withdrawn from a Vashi ATM at 11.48 pm, 11. 49 pm on 29th Dec. Also at 00.03 am & 00.04 AM on 30th Dec. somebody has taken an advantage of date change issue. (Normally only Rs. 25000 are allowed to be withdrawn in a day)

Shocked by this incident, I called up Customer Care at[protected] and immediately blocked the card.

I was guided to lodge FIR by Bank. I went to the ICICI Hiranandani Meadows, Thane Branch near to my home and submitted a written application for investigation on 30th Dec 2011. I also gave applications to local police stations (Vartak Nagar Thane) and Cyber Cell Thane for investigation of the case. The acknowledgements have been submitted to the bank on the same day (30th Dec 2011).

All this time, my card was in my custody. So there was no possibility for anybody mis-using my card

Though I was promised quick inquiry and resolution by the bank, to my surprise today when I started following up, I was told that investigations would take 35 working days. I have been speaking to the nearby Bank managers Mr. Deepak Pandey and Ms. Reenu Nake. I have not been allowed to speak to the Fraud department people and nobody has contacted me either in these 2-3 days.

Apparently, my money was siphoned off and ICICI bank is clueless about it.
SR #[protected] has been raised by the bank. I am hoping to get my money back with a decision not to keep much of cash in any of ICICI Bank accounts in future.
I need a quick resolution. It is bank's responsibility to maintain safety of funds. Else no one would feel safe keeping their money in ICICI Account. I want my money back asap. I request prompt action, failing to which consumer courts and media/ social media would be the only way to reach.

Thanks

Hi people,

Wanted everybody about this service that I used and is a total Scam, for transferring money overseas. It's called MONEY 2 INDIA, from ICICI BANK, they have a website that you enroll, and they ask you to ad personal info like bank account and SS#. I did and I set up a transfer. I been waiting over a month and they dont do it, the only reason i find is that the are a BIG SCAM!

I am having the Salary and Reimbursement Account at Baner branch of ICICI bank. My company had transferred 9875 rs in some unknown person account instead of my reimbursement account due to some misunderstanding. This all happened in the month of September 2011 and from then i am visiting your bank and contacting them on phone to get that money. I am not receiving any positive response from your people out there and it is so frustrating.

My company had a good relationship with ICICI bank and they have asked us to open the account in your bank and don't you think that in need your people should help us.

I am thinking of sending e-mails to your higher management and also to lodge a complaint in RTI. Also i am thinking of emailing to my company CEO and asking them to black list you people but before that i am taking the last chance by writing this e-mail to you.

Please let me know whether you are going to do anything or should i proceed with the alternatives.

CREDIT CARDS

Petty fees and big fraud

When Kumar Mangalam Birlas credit card was cloned and used by fraudsters in Bangalore in September,it took his bank just a few days to reverse the 2.86 lakh charged to his card.Lesser mortals such as Amir Khan arent so lucky.The Delhi-based BPO worker has written several mails,made numerous calls and visited his bank branch,but his complaint against fraudulent use of his credit card remains unresolved.The bank has slapped a late payment penalty and interest charges on Khan,taking the disputed amount to over 45,000.Grievances related to credit cards are among the most common complaints reaching the consumer forums.These range from credit card fraud to small charges levied on unsuspecting cardholders.But customers such as Khan dont have to take things lying down.The RBI has taken a stern view of the questionable tactics used by banks and credit card companies to resolve these disputes.It says that a customer should not be forced to pay an amount if it is disputed and has also fixed deadlines for resolving these.Your credit card issuer could also be the reason why you get pesky calls from telemarketeers.The RBI has banned card issuers from passing on information to third parties.Unsolicited cards,overcharging and missed statements are some of the other flashpoints in credit card services If you have a complaint,first raise it with the banks customer care department or the grievance cell.If it is not satisfactorily resolved within a month,you can approach the banking ombudsman.If you are still not satisfied with the ruling,the issue can be escalated to the RBI and finally taken to a consumer forum-
Now the my concern is that as per RBI guidelines-
RBI orders banks to provide SMS alert for credit/debit cards transaction.
New Delhi: Customers will get SMS alerts for all transactions done through their debit or credit cards from June 30, 2011. Aimed at checking fraudulent transactions and encouraging usage of cards by customers, the Reserve Bank of India has issued guidelines to all lenders for providing SMS alerts for all card (credit as well as debit card) transactions irrespective of amount latest by June 30.

As per cover story of which has been published on dated[protected] in ecomics times related to me and Times of India on dated[protected]; it says-
A bank cannot issue an unsolicited card.The consent for issuance of a card or other products offered must be explicit.If a bank issues an unsolicited card,the customer can demand a compensation.Also,he will not be responsible if it is misused.The card issuer should not reveal the information related to the customer to any other person or organisation.In case of a default,banks and recovery agents cant resort to intimidation,verbal or physical,and humiliate or intrude the privacy of the cardholders family,referees and friends.If a customer disputes any bill,the bank should provide an explanation and evidence within 60 days with the spirit to amicably redress the customers grievance.
However- I got n numbers of calls to pay this amount which I have not used; and Rs.8000 has been charged as late fee and interest charges- and now- I got an e-mail from ICICI bank-
Dear Customer,

As on month December 12, 2011, the total overdue amount on your ICICI Bank Credit Card 4477xxxxxxxx8004 is 53745.66. The status of the outstanding on your credit card has been submitted to the Credit Bureaus like Credit Information Bureau of India Ltd (CIBIL).

We would like to inform you that:

Reserve Bank of India guidelines mandate all banks to submit their customers credit data to Credit Bureaus. Your month on month payment behavior impacts your credit score that credit bureaus provide to banks.

Non-payment of dues may have an impact on your ability to borrow or carry out financial dealings with any bank or financial institution in the country, in future.

We urge you to expedite the payment of the outstanding amount. Only once the payment is made, will we be able to initiate the process o[censored]pdating the information with credit bureaus. If you have a pending dispute/ query, please call our 24-hour Customer Care for any assistance.

It is very tough situaltions for me whatever ICICI bank has done with me. now I am not able to take loan and credit card however I have not used this amount;here ICICI bank says as per RBI guidelines they have forwarded my details to CIBIL however they have totally ignored whatever RBI has given guidelines for transactions details; anyone can stop the transactions if he/she get alert from bank and if he is not doing that transactions. Here My issue is totally clear; that a card holder has right to get alert from bank I did not get; after whatver ICICI bank is done now I am ill and partially paralised.
