This is about Fraud committed by an NBFC and RBI's inability to take action against NBFC . The consumer approached a NBFC .NBFC promised loan at rate of interest of x percent per annum diminishing but charged x percent per annum fixed due to which the emi amount doubled . ofcourse the rate of interest column in the loan application form was wanted ommitted and the loan EMI sheet also not provided to customer by NBFC as to cheat . Later the customer identified the same and closed the loan . He also approached RBI and lodged a complaint with Dept of Non Banking Services ie DNBS.. The DNBS responded saying that the NBFC violated the Fair Practices Code . Later the customer approached RBI under RTI Act and questioned what all actions can the Regulator exercise if any NBFCs resorted to violations of guidelines under section 58 , Banking Regulation Act 1934 .
The RBI replied by mail to the customer saying it would penalise the NBFC and that it could even cancel the license of the NBFC .
Recently in Feb 2013 , the customer sent a letter to RBI asking to take an action against NBFC .Till now there is no communication from RBI regarding the same .
Should the customer still wait until RBI responded to his request ?
or Should the customer now file a writ petition in High Court/Supreme Court asking RBI to take action against NBFC ? If so could any experts in relevant field please help/guide/assist ?
Thankingyou
