I have availed a mortgage loan from HDFC Bank. The interest was supposed to be 2% discount over their benchmark prime lending rate which was supposed to be revised according to revision by RBI from time to time. In practice, HDFC Bank increased PLR when RBI increased its repo rate, but did not reduce it when RBI reduced it. Consequently, spread of my effective rate over RBI's rate increased by 3.75% in two years!
I found master-circulars of RBI clearly saying that (i) floating rate loans must not be linked to bank's internal PLR and must always be linked to an external rate, (ii) there must be an enabling clause in loan agreement stating that interest rate will be revised both upwards and downwards in accordance with revision in rate of interest by RBI from time to time, and (iii) (press release) there will be no prepayment charges on floating rate loan products.
Yet, HDFC is flouting all the above requirements.
DRT is not concerned with such issues and cannot order a bank to comply with RBI rules.
I complained to Ombudsman who refused to intervene. Then I complained to Governor, RBI but he refused to intervene as well. I have filed writ in high court including RBI as a party but RBI is not appearing in court.
Pls advise how can we compel RBI to take action against HDFC.
Matter concerns most borrowers and hence, the trouble taken to respond in detail might serve a public interest as well.

4.Now ,almost one month is over still my petion is pending for admission ,even not getting the stay.
5.In the beginning my lawyer was saying that case is not losted due overwork load for Judge.
6.Now he is saying that my in Laws influencing everywhere including Adovacate general and Govenment Lawyer not to arugue the matter that is the reason it is delayed.Is it possible?
7.he said that ,trying his best to get the stay ,government lawyer not filing objection and delaying it ,the matter is not coming for argument.
8.Now my question I have got my herin in lower court in a couple of days still there is no result from High court that means petion is not dismissed and not admittes only at mumbering stage.
9.Still in the Lower can we pray to postpone the trial until getting result from Highcourt.

Pls Clarify me the same.

Sir/ Madam
I was working for a private firm two years back on a contract for 2 yrs.
I had to leave the job in middle due to some personal problems.I gave in my Resignation and paid the bond money but could not pay notice period dues at that time, so the company terminated me.I'm ready to pay the remaining dues to the company but they say that they would not provide me relieving letter .
I wanted to ask that if i'm selected for civil services or any other govt job ,will this termination have a negative effect therein.

I got AB in 498a on condition that I will shift outside my state, as my wife is not willing to stay with me there. I've been given time for six months. And within these six months we will stay in touch via phone or personal meets. I want divorce after so many false allegations. Please guide. She already sent one sms, that she tried to reach me but I don't reply just by giving missed calls.She want me to look for a job near to her parents house. Also in agreement it is mentioned that she will quash 498a only when I accompany her outside my state.
