Very trueee!
( a little off topic )
Whenever this unfairness part comes into pic, it always reminds me of the same example that I saw on twitter more than a year ago.
There was this guy named Satyam Savla who had taken a Loan from Hdfc Bank for which the total EMI's were 108 in 2007. The EMI's were then increased to 122 ( due to BPLR concept ) and after his subsequent email in 2012; they were revised to 114.
114 was still 6 emi's more than what this Satyam guy had signed up for and he ended up paying ₹6.5 L more to the Bank than what he had committed.
This is despite after him writing emails to Aditya Puri ( then CEO of Hdfc Bank ) and to the Senior Management.

I have seen @sjmajumder cases; read through all the related threads he has posted on RBI BO till now. Banks like HSBC have literally played dirty.
Banks certainly follow one principle. That their ₹1 is more valuable than the customer's ₹ 10,00,000.
I believe the RBI maximum fine should at least go up till ₹20 L for mental harassment. What these Banks do and what they pay in comparison to the Harassment faced by the customer is literally pennies.

Banks always take things to their advantage.
All mid-age gentleman would know that earlier banks used to give Saving account interest rate ~4%. Then RBI bring some policy so that banks are free to change their saving account interest rate. At that time in 2012-14 interest rate for all FDs and RBI bonds/lending rate used to be higher so RBI gave a free hand to Banks so that they can increase interest rate for saving bank account holders.
After a decade see what happend. All banks have reduced it to near 2.5-3.0%. They always use things that benefit them most. Govt. now-a-days is a mute spectator regarding financial decision of Banks.
Most often I read that PSUs now in profit that is because of govt intervention but why dont govt. tell banks to offer good interest for saving account holder? If account holder earn more means banks will earn less and vice versa. Corruption and Frauds are a different matter altogether. No one encourage that.
Hope someday, people will learn that its not the banks alone responsible for their lower interest income rather in-efficiency of current govt. (incl. RBI) for having a feast behind door indirectly through profit sharing at the cost of U and Me (account holders). They will offer u same money extorted from you then say look this is our efficiency that has brought this money. They will cheat u so efficiently that you can't even figure it out.
By the way, I like the OP's effort to educate others, as at least educated people could bring back some part of their lost money.
