Subject: Arbitrary EMI Recovery on SBI Home Loan
Reference Loan Account No[protected]
in favour of Lt Col (Retd) Arun Kumar Chandel, SM

Dear Sir,

1. It is to bring to your kind information that I have obtained a SBI Housing loan of Rs 35,00,000/ (Thirty five lakhs only) vide Arrangement letter- SBI Home Loan dated 26.03.2009 (Loan account No[protected]. My home Branch is SBI Jawahar Vyapar Bhawan, New Delhi.

2. At the time of loan sanction, the EMI for the first year was fixed at 8% i.e. 36001/ and it was expected to be revised from May 2010 in accordance to the prevailing State Bank Advance Rate under the clause as specified in para 4(b) of the arrangement letter. However, the revised EMI by SBI has been enhanced arbitrarily to Rs 41,154/ w.e.f May 2010 and the recovery of the same has commenced w.e.f 20th May 2010. (Statement of linked SBI SB account No[protected] attached as annexure 1)

3. The matter was brought to the notice of Shri Sagar Sharma, Branch Head of my Home Branch at Jawahar Vyapar Bhawan New Delhi. While the matter was under discussion, SBI RACPC deducted second EMI in the same month on 27th May 2010 (refer attached loan account statement as annexure 2). Aggrieved with the financial situation, I visited RACPC on 7th Jun 10 and inquired about the incorrect EMI calculation and also double deduction of EMI in the same the month. Inspite of having spent half a day in the bank, I was not provided with any reasonable response to my complaint and was told by the dealing officer “not to expect anything favourable from Bank as they have no time to attend to complaints”.

4. Having failed to get any response from RACPC, I had approached Mr Sagar Sharma and he advised me to e-mail the issue of incorrect EMI for taking the up matter with RACPC. Accordingly, a complaint was sent to the Branch Manager on 09 Jun 2010 followed by another on 30 Jun 2010. Copies of my complaints are attached as annexure 3.

5. I have pursued my case with Shri Sagar Sharma continuously for a period of 08 weeks; however, neither have I got any relief in the matter nor was any justification given for exceptionally high interest rate on my home loan.


Finally in response to my SMS dated 30 Jul 2010 on his mobile No [protected], I received a reply from Shri Sagar Sharma, Branch Manager SBI which is reproduced for your information please.
“Sir,
As discussed before i had forwarded the case to RACPC, New Delhi, headed by AGM. Whatever follow up that had to be done
from my end i hve done,rest is not under my control. I am sorry
for the inconvenience caused but discussing the same thing again & again with me can bear no fruit.
Regards
Sagar

6. It is obvious that the new EMI (Rs 41,154/) is calculated contrary to the latest guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank India vide its circular number RBI/2009-1-/390 dated 09.04.2010 under reference DBOD No. Dir. BC 88/13.03.00/2009-10 addressed to all Schedule Banks on the guideline on abolishing BPLR system and implementing Base Rates for the calculation of Interest on loans. Under the para xi of the ibid RBI Circular on Transitional issues, I am eligible for the revised EMI calculated against the base rates.

7. I am a retired Army Officer and have done recognizable service to the Nation. I am a Gallantry Award Winner and have risked my life several times for the safety & security of the people of this country. I am deeply hurt to witness this thankless attitude of SBI RACPC New Delhi and strongly condemn their conduct. It is astounding to see that in a country which is having growth rate of 8.5%, there are such incompetent and insensitive bank officials paid out of public money.

8. I consider this arbitrary increase of rate of interest on loan as an unfair practice adopted by the State Bank India in the shadow of non transparency. It is therefore, I have lost faith in the systems which have been adopted by the State Bank of India for Indian customers and would strongly consider moving out my balance liability of home loan for takeover by any other better Nationalised Bank.

9. In view of the aforesaid, it is requested that the case may please be inquired to bring out the details o[censored]nfair play in fixing new EMI on my home loan. It is also requested that the case may kindly be redressed within 10 day of the receipt of this letter positively by 14th of Aug 2010 failing which I would be constrained to seek legal intervention from The Reserve Bank of India.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours truly

Well I was robbed on a train to Delhi and have a bank account with SBI in Bangalore. I was told that unless I have my account number or card number the contact centre would not be able to assist. Well I am in Delhi with my bank account in a Bangalore Branch. I have no money, no phone, no bag (which means no card or account details). Am I expected to sprout wings fly to Bangalore and get my card and account details so that I may then PHONE SBI and inform them to block my account transactions!!! Whats the point in having a contact centre at all if they are not able to assist in times of dire need??

HI ,This is one among the consumers in INDIA .Hope person log in to this page to express his dis satisfaction over some services.I`m the person of the same type and i would like to share the BITTER experience i had and EVEN NOW THE STATE BANK OF INDIA is practising it with the YOUNG BRAINS OF INDIA ,ESpecially with the Engineering graduates .

The issue is if the viewer is of from the field what i`m talking about might me crazy in applying /looking forward to get such a advertisement like this below

---RECRUITMENT OF SPECIALIST MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVES SPECIALIST TECHNICAL EXECUTIVES IN STATE BANK OF INDIA IN MIDDLE MANAGEMENT GRADE SCALE - III
----
SPECIALIST MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVES : 500 VACANCIES

SPECIALIST TECHNICAL EXECUTIVES : 60 VACANCIES

WRITTEN EXAMINATION : 31.10.2010 (SUNDAY)

----
just like the ONE ABOVE ,in a year this SBI -STATE BANK OF INDIA POSTED MANY ADVERTISEMENTS BY LURING THE YOUNG ENGINEERS LIKE ME to loose the MONEY .What these banks are doing is ,ONCE AFTER THE FINAL DECISION OF THE CANDIDATES FOR THE PARTICULAR POST ,they GIVING THE ADVERTISEMENTS IN NEWPAPERS ,DAILIES,WEBSITES.Their plan if ,especially the SBI -CHIEF plan is AS a bank give loans to Business People with out security ,anyway they are not going to pay back ,AND FIND A WAY TO SORT THESE OUT by giving advertise like this ABOVE.So they asking 500rs for every candidates other than SC/ST,however persons like me fall on bc category ,have to pay 500RS for the registeration and they send out the hall ticket ,exams will happen.Thats it ,,end of story ..you people wont get any reply back from them ..like wot happened to your exams,or your exam results.
IS THERE ANY TRANSPARENCY IN THOSE EXAMS ,SAY like the one in all india competitive exams.Why cant they post the every single candidates marks ,what they scored in from the written exams..(u know wot they never do this,if they do so ,they have to answer many many a persons LIKE ME..)..They know that how to srew MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE,especially technically qualified professinals like me..
So WHAT I SUGGEST IS THERE HAVE TO A WATCHDOG-LIKE THE ONe what it is already there in europe and america.So better we can even report to them ,LIKE THESE THINGS..
However ,till now ,THE DATED REPORTS OF SBI -STATE BANK OF INDIA ,SAYS THAT THE BUSINESS PEOPLE ,WHO GOT THE LOANS FROM BANK have to pay them back over 400/500 crores alone.Anyway those SHADY BAS***** not going to pay the bank back,thats why the BANK CHIEF ,knows how to sort these out ,thats why with in a year THE ADVERTISEMENT LIKE THIS ,GOT collected atleast 50 to 60 crores indian rupees with out hastle by the name of JOB OFFER .So now you can guess !!!! whats the difference between the other private companies who were cheating the professionals by collecting the advance payments like THESE!!!!!!!!!

So better PROFESSIONALS STAY OFF FROM THESE ADVERTISEMENT SAYING PAY JUST ..JUST ..(500 RS ) for exam fees /..why cant they do it free for every one ...........if they really desperate for professionals ..why cant they do it FREE EXAMS for the JOBS and better release the marks scored by every single candidates ...FULL TRANSPARENCY ..at any cost they wont do it..
BETTER STAY OFF FROM THESE THINGS ESPECIALLY THE NATIONALISED BANK -STATE BANK OF INDIA ..AND OTHER NATIONALISED BANKS...
IF THE ADVERTISEMENT COMES FROM ANY OTHER PRIVATE BANKS ,WE CAN GENUINELY APPLY ,U KNOW WHY THEY DONT ASK FOR ANY EXAM FEES AND ALSO THEY IN FULL TRANSPARENCY....

This is regrading the mental harrasssment and threatning calls from SBI credit card recovery people.I am paying my regular minimum due towards SBI credit card, but even at slight delay in payment, the recovery agents are harassing by continously calling me.This is really getting irksome, irritating and disturbing to my family.
Please look into this issue and provide the necessary procedure to avoid this problem.

SBI is bank Run on reputation !! its hard to digest illegal loan money recovery from illetrate wife of dead husband ..even though she does not comes into picture ..rude & dada giri behaviour of bank manager & still no action has been taken by higher authority

Smt. Kusum Devi (complainant), W/O Late Sunil Singh stays at the above mentioned address with her two sons and a daughter. Her husband died on 10th Sep’2008. He was an employee of Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. She had opened the SB A/C account after 6 months of her husband’s death. The opposite party, State Bank of India, Talcher debited the entire saving (Rs. 3,83,000/-) of Smt. Kusum Devi from her saving bank account without authorization on the pretext that her husband had taken personal loan. The complainant was not a co-borrower in the loan agreement.

i'll take this matter to consumer court,

I withdraw 20,000 from SBI Bank ATM in Ghandhi Nagar, Near Jawhar Nagar, Hyderabad branch and next day morning I draw 6,000 from HDFC Bank ATM, Musheerabad and when i went to diposit in HDFC bank there the cashier said that one of your 500 note is stamped as fake note. Then i said that i withdraw the money from the ATM's only why should i get this fake note, He answered me like no fake notes come from our HDFC bank and I checked with SBI also they said we cannot do any thing with this issue. So my question is how to complaint on this issue, and where to complaint and who are all involved in this fraud.
Definatly some one should take responsible for this fake currency. A common man can not identified or in hurry he can not check with the notes come from the ATM's are fake or not. If the cases increased then no body do transactions from ATM.

Dear sir,

I am sarika nayer. i have not received my SB A/C statement . pls kindly post in my statement my residence address .

This is Namrata Jain having SB A/C No. [protected] with State Bank of India Branch Indira Nagar Kanpur. I had made two POS PRCH transactions each of Rs 5139.00 on 31.01.2010.

Accordingly I did the same. Furthur Branch Manager SBI Indira Nagar, Kanpur BRCD - 06824 forwarded my case on 16.03.2010 and on 13.04.2010. further I had also booked my complaint through email and fax on 17.06.2010 to Chairmen SBI, Customer service dept., Mumbai

NAMRATA JAIN

Fraud
I recently obtained in SBI Platinum Card and also gave them auto debit facility. I knew about this fraud of adding up insurance from the net. I instructed the agent clearly not to add insurance and also during verification I informed the person the same. To my surprise in the first statement they have added this . Though I lodged the complaint online no one cared to respond. I informed the agent but the statement has not been reversed. The bottom line is THE FRAUD CONTINUES !! . I wish I were in India to drag them to the court on their knees
