State Bank of India [SBI] Complaints & Reviews

RespectedSir, I wish to inform you that since past 2 years I have not received the SBI Card , even though I informed the matter through phone calls I was charged for the renewed card .You could view the details of my purchases ,if any and ascertian my claim. I have settled the loan taken 4 years back and also paid an additional Rs.550/- inspite of not receiving the card. I had contacted the office through the toll free No. and reported the change of address ,on not receiving the credit card, though the following month I received the statements, I did not get the credit card. Every time they said they will be sending it soon. This was least expected from a reputed bank like yours. This month again I have been sent a statement showing dues of Rs.550/- for renewal without receiving the credit card ,I wish to inform you that I don't need a SBI CREDIT card and to treat may treat my account as closed . And I request you to refund the money unfairly charged by you after thorough search of my payment details. This is not the first time I have requested you to look into the matter. Hope you look into the matter earnestly and do the needful. Thanking you. DEEPA KALAM Card No.[protected]

Hi,
I am Ravikumar, SBI credit card holder ( Credit card number : [protected] )
I had opted for a register and pay option to pay my LIC premium. And before opting for this service I confirmed with the SBI customer care[protected]about the details and they responded that within 3 working days the amount will be credited once you ask us to pay to the LIC.

I asked them to pay the LIC premium of Rupees 48471 on 17th Jan 2011 and the same time it has been debited in my SBI credit card account and it's reflecting in my statement. After 2 days that
is on 19th I checked out with the LIC and they responded that we have not received the amount. Again reached out your SBI customer care and enquired, the customer care executive responded that it will be paid within 72 hours, so please wait and check tomorrow.

Again on 20th when I checked with LIC they said that still they have not received the amount.

Meantime I checked with LIC in several ways to know where the problem is and sent mails to the concern departments and spoke to the customer care officers and I got to know that the amount is not credited to LIC.
So again I reached out the SBI customer care and asked that you say it will take 72 hours but it's more than that and why the amount is not credited? I got a hectic reply that the amount will be credited only on 28/01/2011 that's the date your policy due date. And I asked them that why you people have given a false commitment then ??? and why the account has
been debited even without paying the premium ?

And I asked them to revert the money back to my account, so that I will pay the money through cash directly to the LIC and get my paid receipt and can submit it today as 21/01/2011 is the last day for submission investment proof.

She ( Lavanya - supervisor ) responded me that she will get back to me at 2.00 PM ( 21/01/2011 ) and she will be reverting back the amount.

I didn’t got any phone call up to 2.30 from lavanya , and again I called up the customer care, This time a person called Pavithra had picked up the call , so I asked her to transfer it to Lavanya.
She puts me on hold and said that Lavanya is not available so you can talk to my supervisor ( Sathish ) and transferred the line to Sathish.

I explained the whole story to Sathis again and he puts me on hold for a long time and came back and said that the amount will be paid on 24th of Jan 2011. I.e.) 4 days prior to due date.
I asked him why you people give different response and it’s a false commitment from your end. So please raise a complaint and provide me the complaint number. He responded that the software is in problem so we can’t raise any complaint.

After hearing this I asked him to transfer to lavanya, he puts me on hold and responded that Lavanya is in very urgent meeting so you can’t talk to her now.

I am sure that the below issue will not be resolved immediately and instead I will be losing my money towards tax.

So I had paid my LIC premium through online and submitted the E-Receipt to my finance department and

I had sent an email of the above to the Vice President ( Divya ) '[protected]@ge.com' and i asked her to stop the payment through credit card, because of SBI customer care execuitves false commitment i had suffered and i made the payment to avoid tax.

But i didn't get any response from the vice president . Now my credit card account got debited 48471 and it's paid to LIC. Now it's showing double payment for my policy.

I am really freshtrated and did several follow ups but of no use. For past 2 weeks i am not able to concentrate on my work and totally depressed , it's alomst 50,000 rupees and mentally facing several problems.

I have all the mail proofs i can forward you.

I need the money back and i need compensation ..... they needto understand their fault... proper training needs to be given to the customer care executives.

Pelase help me out

Regards
Ravi

I had applied for SBI credit card Gold and more. The sales executive who took my details was Mr. Amit (mob no [protected]) around 23rd Dec 2010. SBI people called checked up my residence and other formalities. They also motivated me three times by different people to go for higher card ie Platinum Card. I didnt wanted that so i said i want to go for gold and more card only.

Till jan 10, i didnt get anything. There were other people with me, who applied after me, but have got the card today. Through out the month of January i told Mr. Amit, about my card, but he was either sick or on leave or didnt know. Finally on 31 Jan i.e. today he gave me a seniors number[protected] Mr. Abhay) who also was equally unresponsive.

I called up the toll free number[protected] of SBI on 31 Jan 2011. He said, that there no application with regard to me. I said, atleast tell me where is the application, as it has important personal data. He disconnected the call on that.

I am really not aware what to do next.

My form no is S[protected].

I have a saving bank account #[protected] with SBI, Jahangira bad Branch (Code 2364) with the facility of internet banking. On 14.01.11, I along with my daughter visited the Branch along with an application for Mobile Number Approval Form (Reference#[protected]. In absence of Branch Manager, I contacted the Accountant, Mr. Sharma for the purpose. The behaviour of Accountant was very much arrogant and rude and he refused to receive the application form on the plea that mobile number once entered cannot be changed. When I protested that change of mobile number is possible he misbehaved with me and my daughter. Later on, BM came to the Bank and he received the application. He told me that change of Mobile Number is possible.But under the influence of Accountant, Branch Manager has not approved the new mobile number so far. I have made on-line complaints to the Bank on 14.01.11, 15.01.11, 18.01.11 and 21.01.11 but the issue has not resolved till date. State Bank of India is amongst top rated bank of Country but how its employees are behaving with the customer is exhibited. Would the concerned authorities like to resolve the issue without further delay apart from action against the erring official. PREM LATA, Mobile#[protected]

Returned my cheque without specifying any valid reason & charged me Rs. 55/- also. Caused me harassment & financial loss because of delayed payment to the third party.

I issued a cheque bearing number "677424", dated[protected] for amount of 5016/- in favor of Spring Hill CHS Ltd., Thane, towards society maintenance from my savings A/c number [protected]. It has been returned to me day before yesterday stating reason as 'Other Reason'. The reason given is not specific and very ambiguous. The bank has also charged me Rs. 55.50 as a fine. Moreover I have to pay maintenance along with late payment charge of Rs. 85/-. In addition to that my individual prestige & financial credibility is at stake. This has caused me loss of reputation and immense harassment. My mental agony must be compensated financially along with letter of apology.

On January 25 2011 I have made ATM withdrawal from SBI ATM counter at DRM office at Habibganj Bhopal. I have withdrawn 9000 at that time my balance was 10,550 but later on checking my account I find that someone has withdrawn 10,000 without my knowledge the mini statament is showing ATM withdrawal I have made complaint to the branch that they are not taking interest. I think the guard at the ATM counter is fraud.

Hi,

I got a call from SBI rail way credit card '' saying that iam a premium customer for them and they are going to offer me SBI Railway credit card".The executives explained me first year membership fee will be Rs 500 p.a and there on every year renewal fee will be Rs Rs 300 p.a..The executives explained me the other terms and conditions of the credit card ,After that i agreed for the terms and conditions.The ececutive personally came to me with the application.I filled the application " Application No S[protected]" .Then after the bank executives made the back ground verification etc.After one and half months,i contacted the customer care for knowing my applications status.Now the customer care executives are telling that, iam not eligible for the card and further as per the policy of the bank they should not explain the reasons for that.

As leading bank,doing this types of practises need to be corrected.
If iam not eligible for the card,why they have to contact do the above process?

Abnormal interest rate of 3.35% per month which works out to 39.73% p.a on a yearly basis. I feel that the rate of interest charged is exorbitant & is not a healthy rate. The rate has been charged by the company for the past two years and i have been constantly calling them to get it rectified. My transaction with the SBI card dates back from 2000 and there has been no instances og any irregularity in the conduct of the account or any delay in any one instant. If the company is not going to charge nominal rate i will be forced to take up the complaint with Obustman.
