		<description>Fraudulent withdrawal of Rs.229000/- from my saving account through Internet. 

  

Dear   sir/madam, 

This is with reference to above mentioned subject.
I am having saving account No SB account no-960710100020454 with BANK OF INDIA WARORA BRANCH. I have received the call from WARORA BOI that transactions of
Rs 229000 has made from  my account on 16th NOVEMBER 2009.. I approached the Branch on same day evening(17th NOVEMBER 2009) &#38; again next day morning(18th NOVEMBER 2009)  and given written complain as well as online complaints through complaint reference  number         893819 regarding fraudulent withdrawal from my account .  I requested BOI to reverse those all fraudulent transaction from account and credit the same in my account.BOI WARORA authorities asked me to lodge FIR with Police,I lodged FIR complaint with WARORA POLICE STATION on 19th NOVEMBER 2010 for properly Investigating    the     matter, I have provided them the details of all six account holders, their branch name, address. Details of the said six account holder are enclosed herewith. Initially WARORA POLICE swung into the action as this was first case under its jurisdiction, even local as well state press gave this incident good coverage ,WARORA POLICE have even arrested FOUR/FIVE of the account holders  from MUMBAI  and for reason best known to them this case is put in cold storage it seems, even my enquiry from them fails to solicit any satisfactory response, Always they are telling main culprit is absconding. Similarly  I have repeatedly followed up with BOI, but they never shown their willingness to investigate the matter and return my amount. 

Normally if any one wants to operate Internet Banking, firstly we have to give a Customer ID &#38; Customer ID password for open the account, after that for doing any transaction we have to enter transaction password and we have to furnish the number of details as they required we have to feed all the data as called for(Grid Numbers). So far I never made any online cash transfer at any point of time.Normally, the bank will not allow any transaction more than Rs. 1,00,000/- per day, further each and every transaction will be communicated to its customer with in fraction of seconds on his mobile phone and also there will be a mail to its customer E-Mail account. In this case there is no such intimation to me. 

Sir, I am regret to say that  Bank of INDIA/POLICE is having all desired information like, Account number, Name and address of all the SIX account holders, video clip of ATM etc, but instead of expediting the investigating procedure and calling those account holders, they are simply giving misleading and baseless reply or passing their time Nobody from Bank  want to give the information in writing that fraud has taken place &#38; all the time they are telling that you have to wait for POLICE Inquiry.. After having all information bank has not taking matter seriously &#38; giving a chance to the culprit to use the money &#38; run away. OUR datas are handled by out sourced employee ( who are working at low salaries) they may misuse the data to make fast money. This indicate public hard earned money is not safe in the        Bank. 
Sir,After making complaints BANK is supposed to seal all six accounts but suddenly on 2nd JANUARY 2010 again  through internet fraud Rs 15000/ was deposited in Mr.  Vishajeet Gayakwad (A/C NO-OO3510310000097,NAYAGAON BRANCH MUMBAI) and this deposited money was allowed to withdraw from BANK due to  sheer negligence of concerned bank officials,needlless to say this person was in police custody also and released on bail . 

It is nightmare for me after losing the money. I am single earning member of my family of six members. I was keeping that money for my house construction at my native place DHANBAD(JHARKHAND) I need your Intervention &#38; support to resolve the issue &#38; get back My        Hard earned Money at the earliest.

		<description>I can understand your problem. I also had faced a very serious situation due to harassment of a public sector bank. I survived the crisis because the Hon'ble High Court gave justice to me.

Unfortunately the Banks in India have been given enormous Powers in the matter of recoveries, which they misuse in most of the cases, with total disregard to the basic principals of justice. Unfortunately in most of the cases the Top management of the Bank also ignores the element of justice and joins hands with the branch of the bank and the recovery becomes there sole aim. 

I am neither an Advocate nor an expert in law but I can fully understand the position in which you are placed.

However, you need not worry, the Legal system in our country is very strong, though very time consuming.

I will not suggest to go directly to the High Court, unless you discuss with couple of legal experts.

Do not put much of Hope from Reserve Bank of India,they are too busy in framing rules, guidelines, and notifications which the banks very claverely disobey by finding one way or the other. In some cases the Reserve Bank has not even submitted timely  reply to the Notices of the  Courts.

I really do not know the tipe of action the bank has taken in your case, however if the notice is send under Securitisation and reconstruction act 2002, then please do not waste time and fight it back.

Your case appears to be very strong and I am sure you will get success.

You should also consider putting a case against the bank  for damages.

However before doing any thing, perhaps,  a personal meeting or correspondence  with the Higher Officers of the Bank, including the Chairman of the Bank, may solve the problems.  

With best wishes...</description>
