Chandigarh Consumer Commission Fines UCO Bank Rs 15,000 for Pension Revision Delay
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Chandigarh fined UCO Bank Rs 15,000 for delaying the revision of a widow's family pension despite official instructions. The complaint, filed by Sukhwinder Singh on behalf of his mother Prakash Kaur, highlighted the bank's failure to implement pension revisions and release related benefits, causing hardship and mental harassment. The commission rejected the bank's defense that clearing arrears later negated the delay, ordering compensation for deficiency in service and related distress.
