Banking Ombudsman Scheme


The Ombudsman will collect data from the bank The customer and the bank officials may be called for a personal hearing also If the Ombudsman finds that the banks decision was wrong, he can order the bank to pay compensation to the customer

The bank cannot challenge the order of Ombudsman in any court of law unless the order is against the provisions of any law or its implementation would result into contravention of any directions issued by RBI.
The scheme is a costless system of customer grievance redressal since the customer can appear himself for the hearing.
