State Bank of India [SBI] Complaints & Reviews

State Bank of India ATM Card issued to me by SBI, Kurseong (Darjeeling), West Bengal. While updating my pass book I found that three transaction have been made through my ATM Card by shopping and purchasing train tickets etc on 28, 29 Mar 2009 & 03 Apr 2009 for Rs 10, 000/- approx. However, the same has not been purchased/shopping by me. Immediately, I approached the bank and apprised the matters with ATM officer. He advised me to give a written complaint. Accordingly, I given him a written complaint on 08 Apr 2009. Again I have forwarded letter on 30 Apr 2009 requesting the present position of the case. He then told me that his branch has forwarded my case to their head office in Mumbai for further investigation. I also lodged a complaint to SBI cusomer complaint website www.sbi.co.in on 06 May 2009. I have given complaint ticket No CC[protected] stating that my complaint has been forwarded to the concerned department and will have a response from them shortly. However, no response I got from anyone. May I request your good offices for the needful please. I shall be ever grateful for this act of kindness

As per the stress and frequent visits of your Customer Service Associates, I have availed loan to a tune of Rs.25, 000/- on[protected]. As per the EMI fixed for repa~ent ofloan @ Rs.1218.75 per month in 24 installments (principal Rs.25, 000/¬+ finance charges on credit Rs.4, 250/- = Rs.29, 250/-) vide your statement dt. 19-10¬
2007.
As per your directions I have regularly paid the said EMI payment upto 12/08 vide 14th installment payment (14/24) cheque No.362171 dt.[protected].
Subsequently, I have decided to repay the entire outstanding loan amount of
Rs. 1 0, 417/- and paid Rs.I0, 417- through cheque No.362172, which has been reflected in your statement dt.[protected].
Even though I have cleared the entire outstanding loan amount and nothing is outstanding, YQU have shown in the statement dt.[protected] that Rs.l, 327.89 is due from me. It is really astonished to state that you have levied foreclosure fee of
Rs.3411- and finance charges of Rs.945/- and Q1her charges of Rs.41.89, which is not is accordance with law and against in the principles of natural justice.


Adding to the above, I was infonned by your associates new credit card with out any outstanding balance would be issued to me. But your esteemed organization
has issued new card No.[protected] in 1/09 with an outstanding amount of Rs.l, 773.50.
Despite repeated representations made before your service associates about redressal of my grievance, such requisition not at all redressed and received statement

dt.[protected] showing Rs.2, 744.33 is due from me by charging late fees for not
payment of outstanding balance ofRs. 1, 773.50
In this regard, avennents made by your associates is totally contrary to the contents of your statement supplied to me.
In light of the above, your magnanimous authority is requested to look into my case and cause for justice in nullifying the due amount as stated in your statement(s),
A line is reply is highly appreciated
Yours faithfully,

Sub: Complaint for Exorbitant Charges.

Dear Sir,

I have the above referred Current Bank Account in the name of my proprietorship company namely M/s. MMS Videos & Graphics and I am the undersigned proprietor of this company.
Recently, I have gone through the bank statement of the aforesaid account and it has come to knowledge that your goodself have charged Rs. 550/- (Rupees Five hundred fifty only) for Account Keeping Fees and Rs. 1000/- (Rupees One thousand only) for Minimum Balance Charges, although I have kept sufficient balance in the said account till[protected]. The Minimum balance was reduced as you people have charges Rs. 550/- for Account Keeping fees on[protected] that too without my knowledge.

I have maintained the required balance in my aforesaid account even your bank has charged Rs. 1000/- for Minimum Balance Charges, which is exorbitant and is on very higher side and not at all acceptable. Whenever there is huge balance maintained in Current bank accounts banks are not give any kind of interest or benefits to the account holders, whereas due to the slaps in maintaining the balance in current banks are charging heavy charges to the customer which totally unfair and un-genuine in nature. I think RBI has not defined any criteria for such charges and conditions/circumstances that when this kind of charges should be imposed, thus I request you, RBI and Banking Ombudsman look in to this matter and stop playing common public.

Therefore you are requested to reverse this Charge and Credit my account with Rs. 1000/- at the earliest, otherwise I have to purse this matter with higher authorities, because the minimum balance was reduced due to Account Keeping Fees Charged by your bank on[protected], with out any notice to account holder.

I hope and do trust that your goodself will look into this matter and will do the needful at the earliest and oblige.
Thanking you,

On[protected], in the evening I had withdrawn Rs. 2500/- from SBI ATM near New Delhi Railway Station between 4.00 pm to 5.00 PM. I have a savings account (A/c no : [protected]) in SBI, Arambagh, Hooghly, WB branch.

When I checked my account balance on the same day in the evening, I found that 2500/- has been debited TWICE (i.e. in all Rs. 5000/- ) against my account with same ATM transaction no.

I had already given a complain letter regarding this, to the Customer Relation Officer in SBI, Arambagh, Hooghly, WB. Also, I had gone to the bank several times for enquire. But the Customer Relation officer told me to wait and it will take time.

The fact is that, till today[protected] I haven't got my money back.

Sir, Please look into this matter or please guide me what should i do?

In the month of Nov.-2007, one person from SBI Credit card had rang up in my mobile & asked to take SBI Life Insurance facility. I had asked him to send me the details, after which I can take this policy . But unfortunately SBi Credit card had charged me Rs 433.92 on 25.12.07 as my outstanding on the month of DEC.-07.
I had made written complaint on 26.12.09 to customer care. But there was no reply & on 20.5.08- they( AVP, Customer care) had mailed me that they are going to resolve this issue at the earliest. I had complained through mail on dted-23.5.08, 29.5.08, 08.8.08, 13.8.08, 28.8.08, 03.9.08, 20.5.08.
Today -01.6.09- when I had contacted with customer care they are asking for Rs 3800.00 to resolve this issue permanately.
Since I had not got any oppertunity in getting SBI Life insurance- Super Suraksha Policy & my card is blocked, how can I pay this amount of Rs 3800.00.

Pl. be considerate to resolve this issue at the earliest.
