Yes, you can and should complain to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) if you face unfair or improper behavior from your bank. RBI acts as the regulator of banks in India and has a formal grievance redressal mechanism.

1. When to Complain to RBI

• If your bank is not resolving your complaint satisfactorily.

• Cases involving unfair charges, delays, refusal of services, or rude behavior by bank officials.

• Issues related to unauthorized transactions, ATM or online banking problems.

• Violations of RBI’s banking codes and customer service standards.

2. How to File a Complaint with RBI

• First, raise your complaint directly with your bank through their grievance cell.

• If unresolved for 30 days or you are unsatisfied, you can escalate the matter to RBI’s Banking Ombudsman.

• Complaints can be submitted online via the RBI’s Banking Ombudsman website or through a physical complaint form.

• You can also call RBI’s toll-free number or send an email.

3. RBI Banking Ombudsman

• An independent official appointed by RBI to address customer grievances against banks.

• The Ombudsman can direct the bank to resolve your complaint and award compensation in some cases.

• The process is free of cost and aims for speedy resolution.

Want to File a Complaint Against Your Bank?

Yes, you can file a Right to Information (RTI) application if a bank fails to respond to your queries or complaints, but there are some important points to consider:

1. Understanding RTI and Banks

• RTI Act, 2005 empowers citizens to seek information from public authorities.

• Public sector banks (like SBI, Punjab National Bank) are considered public authorities under the RTI Act, so you can file an RTI to get information from them.

• Private sector banks, however, are generally not covered under RTI, as they are private entities, not government bodies.

2. When to File RTI Against Banks

• For public sector banks, if your complaint or information request is ignored or delayed, you can file an RTI seeking specific information about your issue, loan status, or bank policies.

• The RTI application must be addressed to the bank’s Public Information Officer (PIO).

• The bank is legally required to respond within 30 days.

3. If the Bank Does Not Respond to RTI

• You can file an appeal with the First Appellate Authority within the bank.

• If the appeal is also ignored, you can approach the Central Information Commission (CIC) for further action.

4. Alternative Remedies

• If the bank is private or if your issue is about grievance redressal, filing an RTI may not help. Instead, use the bank’s grievance mechanism or approach the Banking Ombudsman or consumer forums.

5. How Legal365 Can Help

• Assist you in drafting and filing RTI applications correctly.

• Guide you through the appeal process if your RTI is rejected or ignored.

• Advise alternative legal remedies if RTI is not applicable.
