        I just came to know about 4 FDs done by bank on my mother’s account worth 17 lakh within 1 year . And not even my mother knows about it , she told me that calls were there asking to do FD but she flat out rejected them saying she don’t want to do them .. that account is rarely used have only 3 transaction in last year that too done by me ..
        I want to know how do I approach this fraud done by bank ?
        I am going to the branch office Tommorow to get the details and proofs about this

          Cancel it immediately.

          File a complaint with RBI ombudsman

              Ombudsman usually requires you to first file a complaint with the concerned financial institution before approaching RBI.

                is it a private bank? i also received lot of phone to get FD made. maybe it is their targets.

                but they should been clear about it.

                what problem one can have with creating FD though, keeping 17L in 3.5% paying account is not a good thing to do though.

                        Not stolen but that money is converted to FDs without permission and that itself counts as fraud and the account is used for emergency purposes only .

                            Is the FD not cancelable?

                          What’s the amount of FD?

                          is it propped FD or sweep in FD?

                          Bank keeps track.

                          First you need to submit written complaint to bank manager and take acknowledgement. Also ask for complaint register. Write down complaint. They may refuse to handover complaint register but be persistent.

                          After 30 days, send email to RBI ombudsman

                              There are 4 FDs different amounts each 3 months and this was done previously too with 2 FD worth 6 lakh ..

                              Don’t know much about if it’s propped or sweep . Just got to know details by toll free number as their app is not working.
                              M going to bank tomorrow n get things straight. I will make sure to teach them a lesson for sure

                                  It must be sweep in FD. Means excess money goes into FD and when you try to withdraw FD breaks instantly. It’s good FD.

                                  Proper FD has penalty for premature breaking

                                    just to scare them more , tell them all the calls are recorded by default in your mom’s phone and ask them the date on which your mom agreed for FD . They will claim your mom gave permission on phone. so to counter that do this

                                      Is it SBI? It might be sweep, don’t worry.

                                        Sounds like an auto sweep which is actually beneficial . Look for MOD in the account terminology.

                                      You can approach the Consumer Forum for their deficient service and get compensation. You can approach the Banking Ombudsman as well.

                                        First tell which bank so people are careful.

                                                  I don’t know how it’s a favour but it’s for emergency purposes only and if I wanted interest I’d rather go with mutual funds or stocks.

                                                        Well, not really.

                                                        The interest rate on the amount parked in the SB would’ve been 6-7% on the 16 Lac.

                                                        On the other hand, Sweep FDs of 3 months would fetch an interest rate of 4.5%.

                                                        Overall OP loses money in this setup.

                                                        OP, everyone here trying to ask you two simple things which you are unable to reply to and other than that you are ranting about a lot of things.
                                                        1. Which bank it is?
                                                        2. If it’s auto sweep FD or conventional FD??

                                                            Not sure about the type of FD as it was created without permission and I wanted to know my options before I go to the bank tomorrow and rent about something I don’t know about .. Anyways the name is Bandhan Bank and I heard enough about the bank so I’m gonna transfer the amount asap

                                                              Depends on the kind of FD.

                                                              If it is an FD that automatically breaks if you withdraw cash, it is just like cash in savings but earns a larger interest if you don’t withdraw. e.g. My bank (ICICI) does this, creates FDs that give a higher rate of interest, but if I withdraw more cash, they are broken and I lose the additional interest.

                                                              I can ask them to not create auto-FD sweep (have done it before).

                                                                Same happened with my boyfriend’s mom. It was Axis bank. They said it was done using net banking. His mom is not that tech savvy and uses phone just to call. We complaint the same to the bank and they said it was done by us only. Amount was almost same and 2 FDs were made from different accounts. When probed when was netbanking they told us in July for both the accounts, in which one was opened by July which didn’t make sense. We cancelled the FDs within first 7 days else to break the FDs one has to pay the charges. Mail to the bank and change the passwords.

                                                                        FDs were broken and the amount was back in with the interest . The guy who did FD is not working in the bank as he switched to another bank
                                                                        Going to transfer the amount to govt bank probably SBI. As soon the account document reaches me
