State Bank of India [SBI] Complaints & Reviews

I visited the SBI Dilshad Garden Branch on 04th july 2010 to fill the allotment forms for the Mohali Plots allotment of PUDA. I was filling in the banks loan agreement form for the same and deposited all requisite forms and money.
While I was doing the same, I asked for a query from one of the officer sitting there. he misbehaved with me and my wife. the man was chewing tobacco and was probably drunk. Inspite of giving me the answer to my query regarding the matter to be put on the stamp paper duly signed by my wife, He argued that we should not even bother about the matter to be put on my signed stamp paper. I was unable even to withdraw my application as I have already paid 5725 ruppees to SBI plus 100 for form and 120 for stamp paper.

When I retorted and the other people sitting there talked in my favor, the gentleman settled down but none of his bank staff asked this gentleman to behave properly feel sorry for what he did.

After filling in the form with the help of other officers, I was not even told the name of this gentleman, when I frequently asked this, the errant officer felt the impunity and challanged me saying that his name is G V puri and angered on me saying that I can do whatever I feel like. His impunity and misbehaviour is a blow to my dignity and I really feel powerless as a common man.

Request this to be a form to raise my complaint/.

www.onlinesbi.com not working

From last few days I am trying to access https://www.onlinesbi.com to check my a/c details but getting an error of "Cannot find server", "The page cannot be displayed". On calling the customer care they said its working fine and there is some problem with my ISP and internet browser. How can this be possible when I am able to access other website and not only the sbi?

The customer care and the internet banking division of SBI sucks, there are useless people who does not know anything of internet and got a dont care attitude.
My suggestion to people, be careful before opting for SBI.

Sir,
I am a customer of SBI asansol main branch, burdwan district(W.B). My savings bank account no :[protected].
while, i was withdrawing a amount of Rs 10,000 /- on 17/06/2010 at 1229 hrs at pune railway station ATM, the transaction was shown incomplete at that time, thereafter i tried on a different machine but the result was same. on the very next day, while i was checking my statement at dighi branch on 18/06/2010, pune it showed that a amount of Rs 25,000 /- had been debited on 17/06/2010, whereas i didn't receievd any amount from the machine.

sir, i have already lodge a complaint to the CSM, with ticket no : 3639-AT11272362 and 3640-AT11272379 respectively on 22/06/2010, again i have also lodge a complaint to the customer care of kolkata (AGM) with ticket no : CC[protected] on 26/06/2010 again on 1/07/2010 with ticket no : CC[protected]. A written complaint has also been submitted on 23/06/2010 at asansol main branch.

Matter has been informed to the Dighi branch, Main Branch At pune on 18/06/2010. But i am sorry to say no action has been taken till now.

Sir, i want to state that this amount has been credited on 12/06/2010 on my account (Salary Payment)
i am in very need to this amount for admission of my son at Pune.
I have been telling the authorites of SBI about this matter, but no response is coming from that side..

Sir, i would request you to kindly adjust this amount and look into this matter sincerely because already 17 days has been passed and i am totally helpless.

I would expect to get a best result from you.

Thanking you

UNAUTHORISED BLOCKAGE OF SBI VISA CARD NUMBER: [protected] Valid through 05/10
SBI CARD WITH CREDIT BALANCE OF RS ONE THOUSAND ONLY
Sir,
Please refer my earlier e-mails dated 02 Jun 2010 and the reminder sent on 11 Jun10.
It fails me to even understand how complaints from a senior Air Force Officer as well as a senior citizen are treated by your staff. The delay and on top of the whole thing, a reply with half information becomes very painful. One loses faith in SBI. So do not speak about TRUST.
After waiting for almost a month, I got a call from one MS Sharmila from Chennai SBI Office (from phone Number [protected] ) saying that she was responding to my e-mail and was to say that the case is being progressed.
She did not know the full history of the case, was totally ignorant about the credit balance of Rs One Thousand in my above quoted card. She said she has to “investigate” the credit amount. She had NO answer as to why and by WHOM this said card was BLOCKED.
AMAZING !
Now the credit balance is due to:
1. Cheque Number 766527 dated 20 Feb 2008 for Rs 2500.00(Drawn on Syndicate Bank Air HQs, New Delhi)
2. Cheque Number 766529 dated 26 Jun 2008 for Rs 1000.00(Drawn on Syndicate Bank Air HQs, New Delhi)
Out of this there was a transaction and the balance of credit of Rs 1000.00 has been reflected by SBI Cards in monthly SMS that I have received without break till date.




Where is the doubt and where is the need for any delay or investigation or for that matter any other input?
The bottom line is that every little thing should be available in your computer records.

All that I wanted was:-
1. WHY WAS THE CARD BLOCKED AND BY WHOM?
2. WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?
3. That the said card which was valid through 05/10 should be renewed and sent to me at the earliest.
4. Appropriate action to be taken so that such cases of immense harassment do not take place in future.
I have not got any satisfaction from the customer service of the SBI.
I want this letter to be seen at a higher level for immediate answer to my request/complaints.
Will I, a senior citizen, NOW get a reply?????
Thanking you
Sincerely,

sir,
i am ex service man and having pension a/c in sitamarhi main branch state bank .letter concerning pay commission arrear was receipt by my parent branch in nov 2009. my ppo no. is008/14/B/13955/2006 and corrigendum pension payment order no. 08/14/B/CORR/51396/2009

It is really sad and dis-heartening to find people behaving in cities like Mumbai and dealing with educated people like Britishers used to treat uneducated Indians in small Villages. It is Highly Humiliating and Insulting to step inside the premises of State Bank of India, Konkan Bhawan Branch, CBD Belapur. The Staff is absolutely out of Control of even the Branch Manager and they need to be taught lessons in Manners.

Earlier in Jan 2010, My Dad wanted to withdraw money from his SBI account with core-banking branch at this very particular branch. At that instant we were treated badly and of-course the Withdrawal was denied. We Let Go the Matter.

Today Again when we entered and Inquired about opening a PPF A/C, we were handed over the Forms and told to come back with PAN CARD Copy and ADDRESS PROOF. On request of more clarification, we were told that Vodafone Bill will also suffice and except Phone Bill nothing will work.

When we reached the Bank again to submit the form, what started was a series of bouts and insult. 1 Person is ready to accept 1 thing and the other simply denies it. amist all confusion and rude behaviour, even the Branch Manager felt helpless to Open a PPF Account for us.

Dear SBI Authorities, Please explain following that for Opening a PPF Account
Qns 1- Do we have to satisfy personal egos of the staff ?
Qns 2- Do we have to relatives/Friends of the Staff?
Qns 3- Do We have to be treated like slaves and third grade citizen?
Qns 4- Most Importantly, How do you expect the customer to behave with the person in your bank when she does not know how to talk?
Qns 5- On Personal Note, How do we control the urge to Punch down such foul mouthed lady.

Frankly, if the PPF Account cannot be opened or if you do not want to open, Please tell us" I Will Not Open for You, Look Somewhere Else". and that will suffice for us. I did not visit the branch to get insulted and loose my night's sleep.

Please help.

I have requested SBI Sambhar Lake(Rajasthan) to transfer my PPF account no 01P0090016 old no SBI/SBR/106 to Ramesh Nagar Head post office Delhi-110015 on 22nd Dec 2009 through Ramesh Nagar HPO. I have been following through various reminders. My account has so far not been transferred even after 6 months now. Kindly expedite the matter.

This is bring to your kind notice that I had submitted 2 times H PIN form to your centre but both form has been rejected due to signature not matched with application form,This reason is explained by your executives.



I want to know if an applicant is provided all detail (mandentory) in the application form & Dully signed By applicant, What is the logic to reject it .



Are You mentioned in the H Pin agreement form that signature on appliaction form and H PIn should be same.



So I think your team is doing my hersment not supporting to me .



Kindly look in to mettar ,this is not a reason to reject a application form.



Are your services is much better than A Bank ?

Bank isalso consider some deviation in signature?





Your kind support is highly expedite pl.

Sir,
Due to lost of SBI ATM Card at Bhubaneswar. I immediately rushed to the nearest SBI Branch and got the toll free number and blocked the ATM Card. The Customer Care of SBI gave me one Code number. I went to the Paralakhemundi State Bank of India and applied for a fresh ATM Card. I have also quoted my code number for blocking the card. The ATM card was lost on 26th April. I applied for a new one after two days. In the meantime two months have already been passed. But I did not receive the new ATM Card as a result of which I am facing lot of problems. On enquiry at SBI Paralakhemundi, it is ascertained that the ATM has not yet been issued from Mumbai and the Staff of the SBI insisted me to apply the same again which I refused. Under the circumstnaces, Please let me know that , Shall I get the new ATM card.

Dear Sir, Im Prakash B.E., MBA, Working as an HR manager in MNC BPO campany. Im basically from Kallakurichi town, Villupuram District, Tamilnadu-606202. My father and i(already i own one a/c) went to sbi kallakurichi branch to open new bank savings a/c for my father. When i enquired about the a/c, nobody in the bank given me proper answer everybody in the bank treated us in very harsh manner myself and my father get insulted by the . Manager. Finally they said no more new savings a/c and asked us to leave. i have one question to all bank staff why you people treating the a/c holder as an bonded labour. You cant give simple hospitality for the a/c holder. If you got job in bank you all think that you are the god of all, thats why you people are insulting from elder to younger. Im totally ashamed of holding a/c in the SBI bank. Pvt., bank like ICICI,Axis,Standard charted,HDFC,IDBI are 1000 times better than SBI,IOB,Indian Bank Heartly congrats for your energetic scolding job. Regards Prakash
