Indian Railways — disbursement of refundable security deposit

Address:

Kolkata, West Bengal

This is to kindly inform you that we had taken permission for our film shooting at Howrah station, Princep Ghat Station, Majherhat Station and Howrah Burdwan Local Train during December 2017.
With your utmost support the shoot was completed successfully. We hereby requested the CPRO to refund the security deposit of Rs 5, 00, 000 ( Five Lacs only) that was given by the mode of demand draft.
Demand draft details are as follows:
In the name of : FA and CAO EASTERN RAILWAY KOLKATA
AMOUNT: Rs 5, 00, 000 ( FIVE LACS)
Date : 13/12/2017
DD Number : 404613
BANK NAME : ANDHRA BANK, BALLYGUNJE BRANCH, Kolkata
We first made a request for the refund of this security deposit on 29th January 2018 (snapshot attached). Despite all our efforts nothing happened following which we personally went to Howrah DRM and got the clearance. Sealdah was only forthcoming after a second reminder from the CPRO’s office as late as 16th July 2018 (Snapshot attached). The said clearance was only received on 1st August 2018 (attached).
The CPRO then issued a letter addressed to the Sr. AFA (Exp) with a Payorder no 195628(snapshot attached) for the release of the security deposit and we were told that the funds would be deposited within 2 working days. I therefore request you to kindly look into the matter and do the needful. Its been a long wait for a small company like us leading us into great difficulties.
