Delhi Consumer Commission Orders IndusInd Bank to Refund Rs 84,339 After KYC Scam Fraud
A Delhi consumer commission ordered IndusInd Bank to refund Rs 84,339 to an 83-year-old woman after 17 fraudulent transactions totaling Rs 2.31 lakh occurred within 18 minutes following a fake KYC scam. The woman received a call claiming her mobile number required urgent KYC verification, leading her to download an app that gave fraudsters access to her phone and bank account. The commission held the bank responsible for failing to detect and prevent the transactions, emphasizing that banks must prove customer negligence in such cases.
