Dear Sir / Madam,

You should refer to the terms and conditions of your Vehicle Loan Agreement with the Bank. If it clearly states that the EMI or ECS should be credited to the Bank on or prior to the 20th of each month, the Bank is not entitled to charge Rs. 500/- as there is no delay since Electronic Clearing Services instantly credits the Payee's A/c at the same date and time your Bank a/c has been debited with the monthly amount. Besides, if there in no specific mention of revaluation procedure and charges mentioned in the Vehicle Loan Agreement, the Bank is not entitled to levy them to you. You should write to the Bank seeking an explanation and justification of the amount being claimed from you by the Bank.

Regards,
