You can file a complaint via email (crpc@rbi.org.in) as well.

Works the same way? Tracking and all?

Nope, complaints submitted through the CMS portal are processed in a more seamless manner.

Register a complaint on this portal?

btw what is your problem?

I deposit the EMI directly to the car loan account via NEFT from SBI Savings account. Despite this, the manager is trigerring auto debits on my BOI Savings Account manually that are failing due to insufficient funds as I don't maintain significant amount in that account. The ECS failure charges of Rs 295 were getting charged to the savings account up until now. Now, the manager is charging my car loan account Rs.295 per instance of ECS Failure instead of the savings account for ECS Failure Charges. As per my understanding this shouldn't happen. ECS failure charges are supposed to be debited from the savings account from which auto debit is supposed to happen.

BTW the grievance portal on BOI doesn't work. Tried multiple times,throws a vague error at the last page of submission. Hence seeking alternatives.

If the bank took your sign on an auto-debit form, then there's not much you can do, as this is common practice.

Banks take your consent for auto debit during loan sanction, and once you sign, you're liable to maintain that balance in your savings account.
You can try to file a grievance and bank 'may' agree to waive previously debited charges, on the grounds that you weren't aware of auto debit consent and were paying off the loan regularly.
The bank is technically not wrong in this, if you signed the form/consent.



But regarding your manager charging your LOAN acct for ECS failures on your savings account, I doubt that is allowed.
Banks are not allowed to put the savings acct balance in negative, and debiting savings account charges from your loan account without consent also may not be allowed. But they may have a clause in the loan documents; they generally get around 30-40 pages signed before sanction.

Try to check all loan docs & TnC that you signed at the time of loan, and file a grievance with the bank.

If they don't agree, try RBI BO.

I went through the documents and no where is this activity mentioned. I already requested the manager to waive it off or reflect the debits to my savings account, but he flat out refused to do it. Come to think of it, it's quite absurd that a loan account could have debit failure 🤣. As he's not complying with my request nor is the bank cgro responding, I have no option than to raise it to the RBI BO.

I opened icici savings account in August 2024 online. During opening the account I received a sms about cibil hit by icici for personal loan which I never applied. I mailed icici pno. After multiple conversation with them through mail they gave me a SR No. and said the same will be processed by October 15, 2024.

After that I forgot about the issue. Resently when I checked my enquiry information of cibil, I found out that it's still there.

Can I now complain to RBIO after so many months?

I complained at RBIO and asked for compensation.

Icici removed the enquiry from cibil yesterday and today they mailed the same to me. They also asked me to withdraw the complaint in that mail.

What should I do now?

If you want to file a complaint against any bank, follow those steps.
Remember one thing, file a complaint with your bank first, then wait 30 days for resolution. If your bank doesn't solve your problem within 30 days, you can move to the RBI banking ombudsman. If you don't get any satisfactory resolution from your bank, you can also move to the RBI banking ombudsman before completing 30 days.

I filed a complaint against Utkarsh sfb on January 2025, still no resolution. It shows that it's with the RBI regularised entity i.e. the usfb. What should I do now? It's been long time.

check the status of the case and email RBI regarding this and ask for timely resolution

Over a month has passed and still no solution has been provided by the so called protector of consumer rights, the one and only, our rispfuckted almighty, the RBI Ombudsman. Not only that, it's not allowing to file an appeal either.

This portal is bogus. Don’t fill your complaint here. The complaint status will never change. Always email RBI for faster resolution.
