A.T.M. MACHINE FALIURE ??????????

Bank has to give interest but u have to lodge a complaint to competant authority.

Regards,Sangram

Mr.Raj Kumar Ji,

Your relationship with the bank is governed through the contract signed at the time of opening of account which invariably carries the Force majuere clause as such any probable action by you is taken care.

Secondly at the best you can go before the Consumer Forum seeking damages for deficiency of service but being a quasi judicial authority and provision of ombudsmen in Banking operations again any probable action by you is curtailed.

Last but not least your only safe bet is to approach ombudsmen in this regard.

Best Regards

Daksh

IN INDIA, THERE ARE THE BED CONDITION OCCURS WHEN THE ATM CARD BLOCK OR SAME CONDITION FROM YOUR SIDE OCCURS .

YOU ARE REQUEST TO PLEASE GO TO THE RESERVE BANK OF INDIA WEB SITE. AND LODGE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE BANKER .

IF YOU COULD NOT LODGE THE COMPLAINT HOW CAN RETURN YOUR MONEY AND INTEREST.

IF YOU COULD NOT APPLY , I CAN GIVE A FORMAT YOU , ASK ME ,

REGARDS,

I agree with Daksh

Only solution to this is to approach Consumer Forum or finally the ombudsmen

In my opinion, ATMs is a facility provided by the Banks to their customers for convinience. The Bank dont charge anything for this service from the customers. The customers are free either to utilise the facility or not utilise them. The choice is entire theirs and Banks do not have any compulsion.

Since the service is free and a convinience-measure for the benefits of the customers, the banks are in no way liable to pay compensation in case of failure to provide the requisite services.

The liability of the Banks is limited to regularise the transaction which has actually not materialised but shown in the accounts.

Mr. Sanjay

I actually think differently here.

First of all every bank charges an annual maintaience fees from the customers who are availing ATM services. Thus, this makes them liable to provide efficient services to their customers.

Secondly the liability of the bank is not limited to just regularising the transaction but it is their duty to make sure that transaction is completed i.e. the customer should get the money.

Another point as you said that bank is providing ATM services in order to provide their customers with the convience and for the benefits of the customers. In that case also bank needs to make sure that the whole transaction is getting completed and even if there is a default as in these case, they have to make sure that it gets resolved as soon as possible; which isn't the case here. 

Dear Mr.Rahul,

I have just obtained the proforma from SBI for ATM Cards which also details the terms and conditions of the operation.

The TACs nowhere specify that the Bank is liable to pay any interest/compensation to a failed transaction. The relevant portions are quoted below :-

(f) Transactions

* The transaction record generated by the ATM will be conclusive and binding unless found to be otherwise on verification and corrected by the Bank. The verified and corrected amount will be binding on the Card Holder's deposit(cash and/or cheques etc.) and will be verified by two officials of the Bank and their account will be deemed to be correct. Errors will be notified to the card holder by mail.

Except for the above, there are no provisions of the failed transaction. The liability of the Bank is just to "correct" the transaction and nothing more.

Mr Sanjay

I agree completely with you on that. Almost all the banks have same conditions.

But, a point to be noted here is the time taken by the taken to give the money back to the customer is 4 months. which is a long duration by any means and consumer has suffered due to that.

That's why i sugessted that as a consumer Mr. Rajkumar's only hope is consumer forum or ombudsmen

no rbi pass the circular to all the banks .

rbi pass the circular to loss the custmer bank gave the compensation of that .

Then you have to send the copy of the receiving and a application to the banking ombudsman of your area . You can get the addredd of the ombudsman from any bank branch either urs or any other. There is a provision of posting the ombudsman address in the notice board of every scheduled bank.
