State Bank of India [SBI] Complaints & Reviews

Hello Sir,

I am writing this e-mail with the last hope of getting my hard earned money back from SBI.

On 15th Jan'13 i was trying to book a return flight of Indigo Airline from Delhi to Goa via Yatra.com. But due to the failure of online transaction no booking could be done.

Few days passed I found that an amount of Rupees 40,460 INR has been deducted from my SBI account. However no online booking was done with any airlines via yatra.com due to non payment from the concerned SBI account. Yatra have sent a written confirmation of the same as well.

Refer the Account/Card Details used for trying to do the booking:

Account Holders Name: Mrs. Shahsi Mathur
Account Number: [protected]
Debit Card Number: [protected]
Bank Name: State Bank of India
IFSC Code: SBIN0005226

Everytime I call State Bank customer care they open a fresh ticket and after few days just close the ticket without giving any solution of the problem. Last ticket which was closed without proper resolution was : PO[protected].

I request your Intervention in this matter as I am not getting any support from State Bank Of India.

Being a woman of 57 years of age and suffering from heart problem, its not feasible for me to run from Pillar to Post.

Please think of a middle class customer for whom an amount of 40,460 INR is very big.

Expecting a positive and Immediate action from you.

Regards'

Dear Sir ,

I am regular user of SBI credit cards.

As I pay regularly to SBI bank then too again and again they are charging me over limit fees.

from last two month they are charging over limit fees and one over limit fees of INR 500 is shown in unbilled transactions , means they are again planning to charge over limit fees in next month.

Being from a middle class family, paying INR 500 unnecessarily is very big burden for me.

Kindly instruct SBI to reverse all the extra charges charged on my SBI CREDIT CARD.

I shall be thankful to you for this.

Sir, I have opened a Defence Salaray Package (DSP) A/C in SBI Chomu (Raj). My A/c No is [protected]. My monthly salary is being credited in this a/c only on the monthly basis.

I tried to speak to the officials/Manager on this aspect but no satisfactory reply is given by them instead advised to close the a/c. May I request yo to look into the matter as, as per MOU signed by SBI and the Indian Military such services are to be provided free of cost. Regards.

Unethical business practices by State Bank of India, Karvenagar Branch


I alongwith my wife and father are customers of State Bank of India, SNDT branch, Karve Road, Pune. There was a banner outside SBI Karvenagr branch that 'Lockers are available'. Since we wanted a locker in SBI, we went inside the branch and met the manager there. My conversation with her goes like this


Manager : How many FDs we have in State Bank of India.
Me : Not in this branch but we have FDs amounting to Rs. xxxxxx in your SNDT Karve road branch since many years.

Manager : No.. this is not sufficient. We have a list of people who have FDs of more than 12 lakhs in our branch.
Me : Since we have accounts in many different banks since many years as that of with SBI, we have FDs in various banks.

Manager : Then tell me when you are shifting those FDs to my branch
Me : Why to break and shift these FDs in your bank since we are also customers of Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra since many years

Mnager : We are here to do business so we require FDs if you want locker in our bank.
Me : But locker is a Service provided by your bank and why it is like that for getting this service I have to keep something in your bank? and I am a customer of SBI since many years (about 15) and I have FDs in your other branch

Manager : No but those FDs are in other branch not in my branch.
Me : But its the same, I am a customer of SBI for 15 years and how can you discriminate like SBI branch 1 and SBI branch 2. So its like saying if you are staying in Maharashtra then you are Indian national and if you are staying in xxx state then you are not Indian. Does it matter in which Branch of SBI I hold account?

Manager : Then you have another alternative, we have a SBI Life insurance policy where you have to pay 1 lakh per annum and you will get covered for next 10 years by insurance and you have to pay premium of 1 Lakh only for first 5 years. Also I assure that you will get about 12% returns after end of maturity period.
Me : (After looking at the poster of that Insurance plan displayed in her cabin) Oh is it unit linked?

Manager : Yes but you will get a good NAV at the end of maturity so its not like that you will loose your money. At least you will et 12-13% returns.
Me : I am not interested in such type of talk like If you want to get Locker then you have to buy this or that. Just tell me whether I can get a locker here as a service by SBI?

Manager : No then we have long wait list of people, you can come and ask in the month of June and if any locker is available then you may get it.
Me : I said to manager that I dont want business like this and dont want locker here.

Now my questions are :

1) Does SBI prmmote such unethical business practices?
2) If they hve HIDDEN agenda of telling people to shift their business from other banks to SBI and in turn they will do a MERCY of giving Locker service.
3) Does providing a locker fits in scope of business of SBI then why such give and take policy?
4) Is a customer of SBI at one branch is also a customer of SBI in other branch? If thats not the case.. then shall a person open multiple accounts in SBI in different branches to avil different services? Is it legal?

I would like to know answers to above questions, if possible. I strongly condemn such a business policy and I request authorities to look into this. Please note that all this communication with manager is verbal and so she is at no risk of law proceedings UNLESS any PROOF is available. So these things will continue forever hahaha.

Dear sir,

I had applied for a Sbi Gold credit card. A lady executive called me up and promised me that definitely you will get the credit card to ur residence.

I got one message from SBI stating your application is under process. Then next day under online status of SBI credit card they mentioned

"We regret to inform you that your SBI Card Application could not be processed since it does not...

Respected Madam/Sir,
My Net Banking Money Transfer is not access.It may be some problem there.So I will so suffered to send money in my home.As I Still working in Bangalore. So I am Not unable to contact in my Bank(sbi) Branch(Tenkasi) directly.So I request to clear the problem immediately.

S.M.S Alert activation
Sir I have requested to SMS alert facility.
my account no: [protected]
my mobile no. [protected]
my sbi branch CHIDAMBARAM
Please activated this facility in my mobile number.

I am writing with the concern of fraudulent transaction of INR 17000.00 (Seventeen thousand rupees) from my account on 10-Dec-2010.
It has been more than 2 years and 3 months since the response is awaited from SBI and Banking ombudsman.

Please see the transaction details below;

Name of the customer: Deepak Sharma
Name of the Bank: State Bank of India
ATM from where the fraud was done: SBI Colony, Old Palasia Branch
ATM ID: S10A[protected]
Date of transaction: 10-December-2010
Time of transaction: 18:02:12
Account number: [protected]
ATM card number:[protected]
Amount withdrawn fraudulently: INR 17000.00
RBI ombudsman complaint number: [protected]

I raised a written complaint to SBI on 15-December 2010 asking for a resolution but the same was not addressed within the stipulated time hence the case was escalated to Banking ombudsman(No response received).

With reference to the video footage (ATM 1) provided by SBI, it is evident that my ATM card and pin was not used for that particular transaction (transaction details mentioned above). My sister went to withdraw funds from the Old Palasia branch ATM at 18.00:27 hrs. There were two ATM machines in that ATM room. When she inserted the card in ATM 1, she received a message o[censored]nable to process. But she had not entered the ATM pin number. So she moved to ATM 2 machine and withdrew Rs 500.00. Immediately, after my sister moved to ATM 2, a person went to the ATM 1 and withdrew Rs 17000.00 at 18:02:12 hrs from my account. Looking at the footage I received from SBI, it looks like the ATM 1 session remained active and that person withdrew the amount.

Some things which I would like to bring to your notice
1. If my session was active on ATM 1, how did my second session get activated on ATM 2 at the same time?
2. There was some kind of a technical error due to which my money was tricked and withdrawn by the person.
3. A FIR was lodged immediately after the incident. But in spite of all these SBI has not helped in providing ATM 2 video footage.
4. There was no investigation carried out by SBI to know about the person who committed the fraud.
5. There was no security present in the ATM, to keep a watch on such persons who commit fraud.
6. Bank has shown negligence in keeping the security of the customers.
7. In spite of continuous follow ups for the past 2.3 years through mails, phone calls and personal visits, SBI has not shown response. This clearly indicates that SBI does not stand for its customers

It is certainly a mistake from State Bank of India and as a customer I have every right to question SBI since they have neither heard me nor provided any resolution.

I request you to investigate this case thoroughly and provide proper resolution.

With lot of hope and faith I expect a positive response from your end.

Regards,
Deepak Sharma
