What documents, I should collect, I have only the deposit slip as a proof. but If it is suffiecient.. because it only states that amount which we have feed at the time of depositing..

Maneesh ji,

Deposit slips are enough as a proof. First you have to lodge a complaint to The Branch Manager, lodge a police complaint against the bank for fraud, send a complaint to the Banking Ombudsman stating all facts and enclosing a xerox copy of your deposit slips and recent bank statement.

I have tried to lodge the FIR against bank for this fraud.. but they are not ready for that. Is FIR must for these claims..


(Guest)
Gupta ji, If Police didn't take your complaint, made complaint with the Superintendent of Police / Commissioner of police by personally or by registered post with acknoweledgement card. Whether they complaint register or not to register upto the police department. You need acknoweledgement that you complained for fraud to the police department. This is evidence for your future case.

dear manish.

pls lodge the complaint to the police located at the jurisdiction of that bank and also a written complaint to the branch manager.remember one thing ,all the activities related to the cash deposit through ATM will be carried out in front of cc-tv cameras. u may request the branch manager to access the footage  of deposit.It is the mandatory provisions that the banks will open the envoleps and count the currencies in close vicinity of cctv camera.If ur confident to ur stand then move aheadu and a copy of   ur complaint to higher police officials through regestered A/D. and file a petition before consumer forum for illegal trade practise..

good luck.

dear sir,

first you should collect concerned ATM Bank Officials to furnish JPT log copy and also any excess amount on the date of closing ATM found in tour under right of information by paying necessary fee to them under RI Act.

then only you should file complainant against Bank before Consumer forum or Bankers Ombundsmen.

i agree with reply of srinvasu also.

I agree with Mr Srinivasu but the documents must be there  

-bank copy of deposited slip which you have signed one side that is deposited with the cash to the ATM

-The above should match to the counterfoil that you have .

-If u have any obstacle in filing fir approach the higher authorities.

Bank  has the habit to passing the buck  easily to the outsource agencies so do not allow ,stic to your stand

wish you good luck

Dear friend,  the cash deposited at the ATM was collected by some outsourcing agents of new generation bank and it will be handed over to the bank staff. All the collected cash covers/pouches will be opened by the bank staff and it will be monitored by a camera . So u can write a detailed letter along with the printed statement generated by the ATM while depositing the cash to the concerned branch in which you have account.

If you have not received a favourable reply then u may contact the consumer forum which is having jurisdiction and can ask for a remedy.

 

All the best
