Re: bank payments

You may write the bank demanding back the excess amount charged in your account.

If the Bank does not accept your request, some of the options available to you are :

(a) Approach the Banking Ombudsman in your area;

(b) Complain to the Banking Regulation Section of RBI.

(c) file a complaint before the consumer forum/commission

or

(d) file a civil suit seeking recovery of the excess money charged.

Re: bank payments

Legal action can be initiated against the bank. Prior to filing a case, Legal Notice can be sent to the bank. You are doing what is required from you, lapses on part of the bank. Legally bank is liable.

Specific advice should be sought based on the study of documents.
