Consumer Commissions Order Banks to Refund Customers Over Service Deficiencies
Two consumer disputes commissions in India ruled against major banks for service deficiencies. In Chhattisgarh, State Bank of India was ordered to refund nearly Rs 1 lakh plus compensation after failing to act on a woman's complaint of unauthorized online transactions. In Delhi, Citibank was directed to refund over Rs 12.9 lakh and pay damages after charging a home loan interest rate higher than agreed, causing financial hardship to the borrower. Both cases highlight consumer protection enforcement against banking service lapses.
