Customer Complaint Policy

The Customer Complaint Policy aims to focus on how a customer can approach the bank for registering a complaint about dissatisfaction in banking activities.

Level 1: Contact Your Branch

This is always the first and quickest step.

How to complain: You can raise your concern directly with the Branch Manager.

Methods:

  • In-person: Speak with the Branch Manager or a designated official.
  • Complaint Register: Ask for the official "Complaint Book" or "Complaint Form" available at the branch. Ensure you receive an acknowledged copy of your complaint.
  • Phone/Email: You can also call or email the branch directly.

The branch is typically required to resolve your complaint within a specific timeframe, often between 7 to 15 working days.

Level 2: Escalate to the Head Office / Grievance Redressal Officer

  • If you do not receive a satisfactory response from the branch within the stipulated time, or if you are unhappy with the resolution, you can escalate the issue.
  • Who to contact: The bank's Deputy General Manager at Head Office, Poonjar.
  • How to find details: The contact information (name, phone number) is displayed in the branch premises and is also available on the bank's official website.
  • How to complain: Write an email or a letter or can visit in person, making sure to include your previous complaint reference number from Level 1.

Level 3: Escalate to the CEO/Director Board

If your complaint is still not resolved to your satisfaction, you can escalate it to a higher authority.

  • Who to contact: The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) / Director Board of the bank.
  • How to complain: Use the contact details available displayed at branch premises or on the bank's website. This is typically the final level of appeal within the bank.

Level 4: Approach the Banking Ombudsman

If the bank does not provide a final resolution within 30 days of your original complaint, or if you are not satisfied with the bank's final response, you have the right to file a complaint with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) - Integrated Ombudsman Scheme.

  • This is a free service provided by the RBI for the resolution of banking complaints.
  • How to file: You can file the complaint online through the RBI's Complaint Management System (CMS) portal.
  • Website: https://cms.rbi.org.in
Note:

Key Information to Provide in Your Complaint

To ensure a speedy resolution, please provide the following details in your complaint:
  • Your full name, address, and contact number.
  • Your bank account number.
  • A clear and brief description of your complaint.
  • The date and details of the transaction (if applicable).
