Following is the process of registering your grievance:
Step 1
Approach the Branch Manager of the branch where you have your account. You can reach him over the phone or visit the bank and write your issue in the Complaint Register available with the Branch Manager. The bank will try to resolve the matter within 7 days.
Step 2
You can contact the Regional Manager through email or postal mail if the Branch Manager is unable to solve your problem. This process will also take 7 working days.
Step 3
If both the steps mentioned above fail to resolve the issue, you can take the matter further to the General Manager of the Customer Service Department, or the Nodal Officer of Public Grievances at the bank's Central Office.
Step 4
Allow them 30 working days to come back with a solution, failing which, please reach out to the Banking Ombudsman constituted by RBI.
