Bank was a sub broker in a Mutual fund issue.Bank manager had telephoned to invest in this M.Fund( only evidence to say that Bank was involved)Bank staff filled application forms in my name,signed on my behalf in the application as well as SIP mandate.Funds from my Account were auto debited with out my authorization.
I got evidence of my forged signature from M Fund Company.
complaint to banking Ombudsman was rejected under clause13(c),appeal also disallowed.Bank replied to Ombudsman that the signature was made by my own hand.
Kindly advice

You have some hidden facts. If the case is rejected by Banking Ombudsman then who is referring signature for GEQD opinion.

Have you made police complaint?
