Dear Mr. Rehman,

Thank you for your patience and valuable support.

On the basis of Service Reference Number SR[protected]. We will update the status by June 21, 2014.

Amount of Rs 7, 857.00 and 5, 500.00 on June 07, 2014 was debited towards the LAN#4000CD00511971 and LAN#4000CD00521254.

We have enclosed the scan image of the mandate, on the basis LAN has been activated.
The said LAN is registered under Auto-debit mandate. As per the process, the mandate is first registered and then confirmed to BAJAJ Finance Ltd. The debit transaction is executed by BAJAJ Finance Ltd on registration confirmation received from ICICI Bank.

Hence, in this case, the execution of debit transactions was done by BAJAJ Finance Ltd.

For any further reversals or clarifications, we would request you to get in touch with BAJAJ Finance Ltd.

If you want to terminate the policy, then a cancellation request mentioning the LAN number has to be submitted to BAJAJ Finance Ltd or at the branch (mentioning to forward the same to autodebit team at [protected]@icicibank.com).

Mail revert from me: Dated 18.06.2014

Greetings,

Hello Ms. Deepa,

I thank you for the revert, I accept that the said cheque belongs to my account, but this cheque is very old, as it is not CTS-2010( Cheque truncation system ) and i kindly request you to cross check my signature with the bank records, the signature which has been provided by BAJAJ AUTO is completely different, even in the cheque enclosed and the auto-debit form, So i want to ask how the bank has been taken the request by BAJAJ AUTO and with this mismatching signature records why the bank has been honored the cheque's without even confirming me.

I have taken the dispute with BAJAJ Auto also, for this and they also accepted and agreed that there is a signature mismatch and my identity has been misused by someone else, but this is secondary...

How the bank honored the old cheque without CTS-2010 Standard and with mismatched signature. and for bank mistake or wrong honored why should i followup BAJAJ AUTO for this as you can see the old cheque already with wrong signature on both auto debit form and cheque.

As i am still on a international business trip, i kindly request you to provide me the justified answer and also the further escalation metrics for this issue.


Even though after this i have made several reminders but all in vain. i kindly request the concern team to revert me back for which i will be obliged.

Dear Team ICICI Bank,

Here i am writing to update my complaint which has been submitted on date: 08 June 2014, related to the cheque which has been honoured to BAJAJ with mismatched signature and outdated cheque with out CTS-Standard ( as per RBI guidelines ).

I am getting repeated emails since 08 June 2014 from ICICI BANK that we are looking in to concerns raised by you, it has been almost 2 months now i am expecting justified and proofed answer from ICICI bank. Every time i get a email from ICICI bank asking for more and more time or else bank is asking me to get in touch with BAJAJ to claim back my funds.

My questions are:

1. Why should i get in touch or follow up with bajaj when mistake has been done by ICICI BANK by honouring a wrong cheque with mismatched signature.
2. Why the bank is not providing me the proper and justified answers raised by me for the following below:

1. Is the signature on the presented cheque and ECS mandate by bajaj auto matching my signature in bank records?

2. As per RBI guidelines the cheque without CTS standard will not be honoured and automatically have to cancelled, then how the bank honoured this cheque and that too without even confirming customer... so what is the answer for my this 2 concern, kindly request you to let me know.

The details you provided in last email, unfortunately out of my concern box, its all what i was adhered about then why am i getting the same answer after i waited for this long time..

I really don't understand the bank like ICICI bank is lacking in the protocols which has to be followed and coming up with false promises every time, THIS IS LEADING ME TO SUBMIT A JUDICIARY COMPLAINT.

Still Kindly request to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Thank You.
