HDFC Bank denying to receive inward foreign remittance.

[V1SH4L]

I did freelancing for a foreign company and received 164.15 USD in HDFC Bank account on 19 February.

I received an sms and email regarding this on 20th February.

Then I logged into NetBanking and submitted disposal instructions.

The purpose code was put to P1104 - entertainment services which doesn't require any documents to be submitted.

But even after 15 days I didn't receive the fund in my Bank.

I visited the branch and the useless manager gave me number of another person who is unreachable.

I tried to reply that mail where instructions were given but my mail is not going through as the address is no reply mail address.

Then I contacted hdfc through call and email but they are denying that they recived the fund.

Even though in NetBanking foreign remittance is still being shown.

What should I do now?

I urgently need the money as I've no permanent job. After waiting for 15 days I'm frustrated and depressed.

HDFC is sort of slow for inward remitences afaik.

Even Andhra Bank (now merged with UBOI) did a much much better job than this HDFC.

For 5 years, inward remmittances were recieved from many students based abroad into
Andhra Bank's account - for teaching Vedic Astrology subjects - without any problems.
Only once, in the beginning, the needed clarifications/dox were given and that's it.

Many a times, PSU banks do a much better job than the much touted and trumpeted
private banks.

Of the recent private lot, DBS did a great job and is still one of the best in the business.

None of the other private players are anywhere near it.

Sorry for your trouble..I faced the same issue with Indusind bank...Unfortunately after 14 days, the payment is returned if it is not claimed by the bank, this is the reason they are denying that funds not received because it is returned.
