ATM Sharing between Banks
The new RBI proposal on sharing of the ATM network between banks is a very good move as far as consumers are concerned. One of the advantages of ATM sharing being that consumers of the not so big banks can have wider access to ATMs. Obviously, there is going to be a fee associated with withdrawel using a external ATM, but atleast there is going to be a clear specification of the cost involved so that you can make an informed decision. RBI has also recommended that there be no charge for balance enquires.
Do note this is still a proposal and not every bank is interested in this yet.

Hello,
I am a Bangalorean and would like to share my hellish experience my husband and I faced at a home stay resort in Karnataka.We have moved to the Consumer Court and I would like to send you a copy of the complaint so that other gullible people will not go through the same experience we underwent. We were conned by the false claims and beautiful pictures on the home stay website and actually discovered the reality when we went there. Through your website, which is a great way of educating and highlighting cases of consumer grievances, we want to reach out to more people.
It must be emphasized that the “Home Stay” industry is unregulated, unmonitored and has seen unbridled growth in the past 2-3 years and several fly-by-night operators looking to make a quick buck using any means whatsoever. Since demand for weekend outdoor getaways is growing, a lot of unscruplous people are milking the situation to their advantage.
Do let me know your email ID so that I can mail you the complaint...
Thanks
Regards
Priya(pripad@yahoo.com)

I transferred my account from Chennai to Bangalore in April, 2006. In the change of branch application, I have stated that I destroyed the 2 ATM cards that I owned and applied for a new one.
It has been 2 years now and this is the state of my account:
- Address still points to Chennai
- New ATM card received belongs to Chennai account, so not received PIN for it for 2 years now. So the card is unusable
- Every year Rs. 100 (Rs.50 for each card) is cut from my account. These are for the cards I destroyed 2 years back.
- My PPF account has been changed. The money that I put in this year is not reflecting in my account statement.
Can I approach the consumer court for deficiency in service?
