Harry James.

I applied a Credit card from Sbi, it took me 25 days to get it by post. Then I activated it over the phone, it took me an hour to reach their ph services. But when I tried doing online transaction, offline purchased,used atm machine, it din't work. Called up Customer care many many times. They give give me same answer stating my card is activated, no matter how much I tried explaining them. It went on for another couple of days. Finally I contacted Bank,relation manager, branch manager,manager from other state bank. They could not help me. Ultimately I have to surrender my card, now inorder to surrender my card i need to call up customer care sometimes there ph services does not work at all. They informed me that the card has defect and I can reapply for another card. What a joke now after a month and a week they found out the problem. Ok so I was able to surrender my card which was made against fixed deposit of 20000 Rs. They told me I'll get my 20000 after 20 days once i received a latter from them. Now it's been over a month I have'nt got any latter as promised by sbi. I called up customer care asking reason, they told me that the latter has been dispatch, they will dispatch it again since i did not received it and I'll be receiving it within 10 days. Till now I have not received any latter from them and without the latter I won't be able to take out my money. Ok thats all of sbi credit card. One more thing my gf she lost her atm card, so we tried to block it online, guess what there is no such options to block. So we went to bank,officer told us we need to contact customer care. haha We were unable to reach them coz there officer were bz. We block the card only on next day. Anyway I made a credir card from ICICI, it took me just 3 days. It's Wow.

Hi,

I am writing to you with huge disappointment as my application for SBI credit card is rejected. Twice I applied for this and the result is same. I spoke to one of your sales rep few days back , First of all I was not interested in SBI card reason previously some sales rep took all my details and never did anything but still i provided all my details , she advised she can process my request. One of your verification rep also came to my place to verify the details which were correct and matching with the application.
The only thing I want to know from you is why I cannot be provided with SBI credit card, I have my own house/one car/ 2 two wheelers and Iam working with a reputed company (Infosys) from past four. Also my CIBIL score is 850 plus.
Request you to reply with your explanation at manoj.[protected]@t-mobile.co.uk or [protected]@infosys.com

My SBI ATM account has been hacked on the 22nd of march wherein a sum of 39,000 was deducted from my account and when i went to complain to the officials they send me to the cops. but i would blame SBI for their negligence of keeping 2 Machines in the same room and having no security outside, none of this would have happened if the securiy guard was kept outside no one would meddle with the machines. pleas help me as soon as possible!!(and this has happend to another 4 more people who lost another 37000 each and the bank is taking it very lightly)
please contact me on [protected]

Dear Sir,
Sub: Complaint against Mr. Dilip Das, Branch Manager, S.B.I. Birpara Branch and branch code-02025 telephone no.[protected]
I have a Bank Account No.[protected] in name of Ekta international at S.B.I. Birpara Branch since 3 years.
State Bank of India, Birpara Branch is the first and oldest bank of this very commercial town and was a priority fully computerized bank in the Dooars Region of North Bengal, but, I am sorry to mention that I cannot give you a very enthusiastic report on the operations of the bank in the present scenario under the ‘ not so able’ administration of the Branch Manager, Mr Dilip Das. He is devoid of rational thinking and all other finer instincts usually present in people holding such responsible positions and has literally shaken the foundations of banking.
I applied for Net Banking Facility about 1 year back and was given this facility by the Bank covering NEFT, RTGS, OLTAS, Draft Facility etc.
I am working with my father who is a Tax Practitioner since the last forty (40) years and am also a distributor for various cable TV networks. Both services require constant and regular usage of Net Banking, OLTAS for Govt. and Tax Challans and NEFT, RTGS and Draft Facility for Cable TV Services.

Unfortunately, the internet banking facility provided to me by SBI, Birpara is faulty most of the times preventing me in making use of the same. My repeated verbal complaints to Mr. Dilip Das, Branch Manager, SBI Birpara fell on deaf ears. I then gave a written complaint and request to the Branch Manager to regularize the net banking facility (copy enclosed) but till date there has been no response from his end. I have been constrained to use the net banking facilities of HDFC Bank, Siliguri in lieu.
On 23rd march 2011 I visited SBI, Birpara for making a RTGS but Mr. Dilip Das, Branch Manager who had probably taken offense to my written complaint (mentioned in above Para) used repulsive, unmannerly and uncivilized language and ordered the bank guard to throw me out of the bank. This was least expected from a Branch Manager of the largest and most prestigious bank of our country. I had come in my capacity as an old client of the Bank to avail services offered by it only to be treated like a third grade hooligan. This action of Mr. Dilip Das only shows how mean the man is and also proves that he is a very poor public relationship officer.
Now coming to Mr. Dilip Das, the Branch Manager, the local public and even the bank staff will ear witness to the fact that this man has been abusing his position and pestering clients to invest in SBI Life and its products during cost of the banking hours thereby neglecting the actual job for which he has been designated in the bank. It is no longer a secret that if anybody wants a Bank Locker, OD, CC, RTL, Loan or any other facility in the bank he will have to take a product of SBI Life only after which he will be entertained. Maybe the commission earned by Mr. Dilip Das Through SBI Life products is more important than the functioning of the Branch which he is heading and overrides all considerations. Literally he is simply like a parasite on clients. The greed for personal financial gains has blinded him to the fact that he has been misusing his position as the head of the institution producing an in conducive bank environment. as per SBI branch manager theory SBI life & SBI mutual fund products are better than SBI fdr and given better return than SBI FDR but we know that SBI life & SBI mf products are on market risk and not any guarantee return but SBI FDR are guarantee return on interest rate running on that time. Then, why the SBI BM mislead the innocent customer .
I enclose Photostat copies of SBI Birpara client’s passbooks where entries made by the bank are obscure and not readable. It becomes very difficult to file IT returns since entries are not properly visible. When several clients approached the bank Branch Manager instead of giving them a patient hearing and trying to solve the problem he reprimanded the clients and told them to get their eyes checked. Mr. Dilip is least bothered in behaving in such a vulgarly impolite manner causing untold inconvenience to clients. His behavior is often talked about in public and clients are being disillusioned with the declining quality of banking in SBI Birpara. All this is a well planned attempt to harass clients and succumb to Mr. Das’s greed.

on the month of Sept 2010 SBI Birpara staff agitation against the branch manager of Birpara Mr. Dilip das for non co-operation with them & paralyzed the bank two days this report come through local media (print) in two days copy of print media (copy attached)
Clients of SBI Birpara face another dilemma also. Those clients opting for fixed deposits have to visit the bank at least ten times to get the TDS certificate(s) but to make matters worse the bank has not submitted the Quarterly Electronic TDS Return properly with Individual Clients Pan No, details of Interest etc. to NSDL since long. As such the IT department refuses to refund the TDS amount deducted by the bank due to non-receipt of Quarterly Electronic TDS return from the Bank. The banks records and an enquiry with NSDL will reveal the truth of my statements. All this only shows that the Branch Manager is indirectly discouraging clients to make fixed deposits in SBI Birpara. It is because of Mr. Dilip Das ,that clients now prefer to open accounts in other banks and take internet banking facilities from private banks.
The success of any financial institution today not only depends on efficient administration but also on clients satisfaction and clients satisfaction is quality. Sir, just ponder over the phenomenon of how one man’s obduracy and greed is giving the bank such poor public relations
There is an urgent need to rectify the local people’s sense of revulsion against such an unhealthy bank environment and it is requested that an immediate enquiry be made before a mass petition is sent to the Prime Minister, Finance Minister, Home Minister and Governor RBI.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully

Subject: ATM Charges debited twice.

Reference: Account No- [protected]
Account Holder Name- Ajit Kumar Betala
Dear Sir,
It is to bring to your notice that I have only one ATM card no.[protected]. But you have charged twice for the ATM card. As I have only one ATM card, I should be charged once only and as such request to reverse the second charge. If any other ATM card is shown against my aforesaid account, that was not issued to me and stopped forthwith.

Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,
Ajit Kumar Betala

I recharged my airtel number ([protected]) today, 24 March, 2011 through SBI Freedom mobile banking twice - first Rs. 30 at 8-01 am against Tid[protected] and Rs. 10 1t 8-26 am against Tid[protected]. Accordingly, the two amounts were debited from my bank account but no topup value was added to my balance. Please look into the matter and help me get back the money.....Biswajit Baidya.

Info about issue - I had applied for a home loan with SBI in December 2010 and the original agreement papers/receipts had been turned in to SBI then.Now SBI has misplaced the aggrement/receipts and refuse to acknowledge that these papers were turned in and have stalled my home loan process.Please see inline for more details.

Kind Attn: Manager DG Home loan Department,Pune Branch

Dear Sir,

Thank you for taking time to talk with me the other day.

Please find attached a copy of the agreement scanned prior to the submission of originals to SBI.These originals were handed over to SBI,Deccan Branch (Date - 4th January 2011) and include -
a) ORIGINAL agreement between builder and me.
b) A certified Power of Attorney (certified by SBI) to my mother on my behalf.
c) ORIGINAL receipts from the Builder for initial 20% payment

I am surprised that SBI refuses to acknowledge the handing over original documents.My wife and I distinctly remember SBI stating the requirement of turning in the originals hence we handed them over to her the same day our agreement was done.As a proof of turning in the originals, we got a copy of our agreement and receipts signed by her as an acknowledgement.I guess this copy has already been shown by my mother.
I am extremely disappointed with the way in which this loan process has been dealt by SBI.There has not been a single day in my visit to India when I was not at SBI trying to get the loan formalities completed in time.I was hoping to bring the formalities to a closure before I left for the US so that my mother would not have to run around in our absence.Unfortunately that was not the case to be.It has been over 2 1/2 months since this approval process started.
We would really appreciate if the officials at SBI could help me get back my originals inorder to help restore the trust we have in the bank.It becomes increasingly difficult for us to believe in the fact that our originals are safe with SBI let alone the time, stress caused and the money required to get these documents issued again.We have been customers of the bank for a long time, and we are extremely unhappy with the way this process has been handled.
My wife and I intend on repaying the loan at the earliest once the loan formalities are completed since we do not think we can handle this kind of stress for 15 years to come.
We hope that the bank co-operates from its end to help us get back the original documents at the earliest else we intend on filing an FIR with the police and an article with the press on this issue.

Thank you,
Best Regards,
