Filth in the Private Banks

The latest headlines today "IT dept raids Delhi Axis bank branch for black money"; the staff members of this bank helped exchange black money in crores for new currency in exchange for Gold Bricks.


Such news involving Private Banks in India is nothing new. There have been instances wherein the Relationship Managers of Private Banks have duped customers or are involved in illegal activities.


These same folks push for loans without proper due diligence to shady characters like Manish Vinodrai Badani. And when these shady characters do a disappearing act, they recruit even more shady and dubious characters for tracing the defaulters.


And in this whole Chakravyuha, folks like me get harassed.

A grievance has been raised with Department of Legal with specific request to take up this matter with Ministry of Home/Finance and appropriate bank heads. Also forwarded is details regarding all calls (including numbers) from various thugs (collection agents).

Call from Advocate Advocate (8425993456)

As expected on November 22, 2016 around 2:45 pm, I got repeated calls from 8425993456 (3 missed calls); this number is reported as SPAM under the name "Advocate Advocate". Reminds me of "Advocate Mhatre"; this feku called on behalf of ICICI Bank and got scared when I confronted him with all the facts.

Call from 02261718943

Series of calls came from 02261718943 to my cell no., company desk number and residence number around 1530 hrs on November 21, 2016. Neither of these calls were answered but the fact that they were made to all my numbers indicated that these calls were not from genuine bank representatives. It is almost 10 months since the last call came for Manish Vinodrai Badani and this period seems to be common for reopening his file.


On True-caller this number is posted as SPAM under Standard Chartered Bank, Mumbai.


If anyone can help identify the true identity of this number, that will be appreciated. If again a call comes from this number then I will report this to Home Ministry.
