This query is : Resolved
Sir,
My Father took home loan from Punjab National Bank 10 years back. within a period of few months he was informed that the title deed mortgaged has been lost from bank. there was no theft / robbery / natural-human calamity. only the deed and few drafts were reported to be missing.Since last 10 years we have been trying every possible thing but to no use.The managers keep on getting change and so does the staff therefore nobody takes the responsibility to answer. we filed complaint in "ombudsman", they initially assured us as the case was in our favour but later we received an answer that the bank is not liable for the same.
we are ready to pay back the remaining amount toady and want that the bank should get the property transferred in the name of my Mother and give us the title deed and nothing else.
->Are we expecting more?
->Is the bank not liable?
->What if the loan amount have been snatched from me in front of the bank,would I be held liable to pay the loan or not?
My father is 50+ and he cannot take it any more. its already been 10 years almost :(

U can obtain the certified copy of the tittle deed from the sub-registrar of ur city.
U request the Bank Manager to issue a letter stating that tittle deed is missing which was with them.
It is aleady time barred to file a consumer complaint
U clear the loan first and ask for the tittle deed again, after taking the letter from the bank go for consumer case and claim the compensation for the negligence of the bank.
Dont go with the money to the bank just if your father has got another a/c just issue the cheque of that bank because Ur afraid of the snatching the money.

CERTIFIED COPY IS AS GOOD AS ORIGINAL WITH BANK LETTER.APPROACH DISTRICT FORUM OF YOUR AREA AND FILE A COMPLAINT FOR THE NEGLIGENCE AND DEFICIENCY IN SERVICE ASK FOR THE REASONABLE COMPENSATION FOR THE ACTS OF THE BANK

In my first post i asked:
"""What if the loan amount have been snatched from me in front of the bank,would I be held liable to pay the loan or not?""""
it meant that if i took something from the bank and say that i have lost it..in taht case i not responsible to pay it back,, because the bank says that it is lost and that is it and we aren't liable.
But i will follow as you stated above at the earliest.
THANKS.

If you have received the amount from the employee on duty abd the same has been snatched then you are liable to pay the loan amount.
Go with the advise of Mr. Prabhakar approach the competent court of law.

YOU CAN FILE CONSUMER COMPLAINT YOU CLAIM COMPENSATION.
IF YOU THINK TIME BARED, YOU FILE AN APPLICATION U/S 5 OF LIMITATION ACT FOR DELAY CONDONATITION. YOU WILL GET REMEDY FROM CONSUMER FORUM.
