RBI Rules Require Banks to Compensate Customers for Service Delays
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) mandates banks to compensate customers for delays in services such as credit card closure, credit report correction, return of property documents, and failed digital transactions. Compensation ranges from Rs 100 to Rs 5,000 per day, depending on the service and delay duration. Banks must adhere to prescribed turnaround times, and compensation is typically automatic without requiring customer claims. These rules aim to ensure timely processing and protect consumer rights.
