Fraud by ujjivan small finance bank

Dear Respected members of Lawyers Club India,

 

I need your help on a fraud done with us by Ujjivan Small Finance Bank having branch in Nangloi, Delhi.

Actually a small working capital loan was sanctioned in the name of my mother for 18 monthly installments of Rs.2563/- each from above mentioned bank.

At the time of Covid -19 first wave a bank personnel came our house and offered us a Loan moratorium but we refused the same because in loan moratorium the loan will increased to 26 monthly installments from original 18 months. We paid all the installments and the last installment paid by us in June, 2021. Now few days earlier a bank personnel of the above bank visited our house and told us to pay Rs. 4050/-. He told us that your loan period was restructured through a loan moratorium and total 26 installments of Rs. 1600/- each were created. According to which the excess payments received from yourself were credited in your account and now Rs. 4050/- is still pending. 

We visited the bank branch on the same date and ask for why they applied Loan Moratorium in our account without informing us but they did not provide a satisfiable reply. Then we complaint about the situation at their Norther Region Nodal Office. 

Yesterday, I received an Email from bank stating that loan was restructured through a application received from customer. The attached Loan Restructure application form contains forged signature of my mother. On a single view anyone can trace that the signature are fake.

Please help me about how and where should I complaint about the culprits. In our case you can say that amount is not so big, but it is about trust on banks and serious concern about the malpractices followed in banking system in India.

 

Please help...............

Lodge criminal complaint against them on forgery and also file suit in consumer court.

G.L.N. Prasad (Retired employee.)     09 March 2022

First, deny the signatures and issue a notice under CP Act to the Bank branch stating that the letter was forged and seek information as to the name of the official that compared the signatures with specimen signature lodged with the bank and with documents executed by the borrower before acting on such letter.  You can also seek a certified copy of such loan documents having the signature of your mother..  You can warn them of harassment by acting on a forged signature and insist on such signature verification on such authorization for a moratorium letter.

After getting the documents, get the original signature and forged scanned magnified for easy comparison and keep it as a record.

After getting necessary certified copies of documents from the Bank (it is your mother's right to get the same documents as the consumer), File an online complaint to the Banking Ombudsman and also lodge an online complaint in District Consumer Forum against the bank branch.

Before making a complaint give 45 days time to Bank after issue of notice as issuing such notice is mandatory.  The entire exercise costs less than Rs.100/- and your mother going to PS and to stand as witness etc., is also not proper.

Take a bit of legal advice from the best lawyer in India. A lawyer can provide your information with a legal solution.

Contract Adv. Anupam Agarwal from Ramniwas Surajmal

G.L.N. Prasad (Retired employee.)     10 March 2022

Contacting an advocate is the best guidance, but when the amount is involved was Rs.4,050/-, and there is a dispute between a Bank and common man, the only option to a simple individual is alternate and no expensive means.  Further, the incident of fake/forged allegation for simple request letter appeared ridiculous, as bank official may not take such great risk for the simple amount involved and if it is over action by a bank employee, it gives an opportunity to correct at his level..  For a small borrower, with a track record of prompt payment even in small loans, (without waiting for waiver and "Bank can not do me anything attitude) it is always essential to maintain smooth relations as the borrower derived a benefit, and as the Bank officials themselves offered a loan to a lady.  Any legal dispute may ruin the relationship with the bank and the endeavour should always be maintaining a good working relationship with the give and take policy.
