Congrats man. So, what was the reason for rejection?
 
I am on the same path. I asked customer care the rejection reason and they sent the internal bank policy template. I have asked for the exact reason again. Next step will be to reach out to the headcards.

What documentation one has to do when going to Ombudsman?

I would go twice with request to nodal or above ( quote rbi circular in both emails and be polite )then save those emails as attachment with your initial request then submit it. one rejection is enough for non compliant. make sure you add compensation amount for the inconvenience even though, it's not the main purpose.

So, have you quoted ₹5000 while making a complaint to RBI BO?

Well done... what reason did bank provide for rejection initially before you went to RBI. Is it bank internal policy?

I'm facing something similar with SBI... Even PNO mentioned its bank internal policy/business decision. I do plan to pursue it with RBI.

On side note, contacted a friend in bank & he said reason to be U2 - approval over leveraged...
 
hunter profile, 4th card application in span of 32-34 days
Even i received a similar response from Jupiter team on CSB Edge Rupay Card application around March 1st week. They mentioned that my application could not meet the threshold during hunter check by Experian 🤷‍♂️

For last 4-5 months, i had not applied for any credit card.

I just raised the similar complaint to RBIO against federal bank
Only reason they are quoting is internal policy!!!

Btw, what value did you select in sub category level 2 while raising the complaint? I don’t think it would matter much but I were not getting a suitable value over there. Chose to select “others”
