Dear Sir,
I took PL of 1.25 lacs in NOv-2007 from HDFC. After paying 10 EMIs i recently get it top-up. During conversation with HDFC bank executive we agreed on 17% rate of Interest (monthly reducing) & processing charge of 1.5% on top-up amount. But, when i received debersement letter they charged mr processing charge of 2.25%. Now , executive is not responding to me. In this case what i can do ? pls. help.

Yash,

Whatever be the nature of greivance against any bank, just do one thing

Email to the HDFC BANK OMBUDSMAN how you felt cheated as a customer and

Send a CC to the RBI OMBUDSMAN

HDFC Bank will promptly reply

Nowdays HDFC bank cheats a lot i believe if customers have to get their housing loan interest rates reduced they have to pay a special fee of RS 17000 odd and then they will look to conver it to market rates... my friend who was furious about this junked the bank and went to SBI which is a sleepy giant even ombudsman cannot shake them. LOL

Hope the chairman is reading this and also RBI.

Yes, I HAVE NEVER EVER TAKEN PERSONAL LOAN @17% in my life. Nor will I ever do so. My last auto loan was 5.25%.

Yes, I HAVE NEVER EVER INVESTED IN MF CHARGING 6% in fees per year.

YES, most of my Indian rupees are in money market account and SBI paying me 3.5%.

I do not understand what you mean by clannish.

The Big Bang theory is only remotely connected ( by billions of years)to earth.

After due diligence, I understand now that a clannish belief is like a jewish God. Am I right? If so yes, I do not believe in a personal God.

Sorry for the tube light taking longer to come on.

netdo,

You keep your money only in money markets at the dismal 3.5% interest?

Whatttttttttttttt?

isnt that too low an interest rate or has America put you in the mode of inertia with its dismal interest rates? Here in India 3.5% interest is scoffed at.

Justice has to penalie based on each ount/charges faced by the defendent. The tip off artist actually had 150+ years of cumulative prison term. Some times the judge allows concurrent penalty. So one 7 year is good or 2 charges.

For Madoff, guess even a prison in hell is not enough for ripping off so many old people who can not even recover from the loss now.

RN,

Perhaps you can drill some sense in to RBI because for some strange reason, it puts a cap of 3.5% on interest payable on NRE or NRO accounts. If you want to beat that, the next option is money market account that pays about 6-8% but taxable at the source upon redemption. All these assumes you do want/need T+2 liquidity.

As a result, no one bothers to bring real capital to India, just living expenses. Those who do bring in the capital, such as those post year 2003 IT employees from Satyam and Wipro etc , spend it on buying those pinkand dark green colored multistoried hole in the wall flats in slum areas all around in magnificent cities like Hydrabad and or Chennai.

RBI is apparently impressed with these dollar remittance to India for the purchase of land and flats, gold biscuits in the locker and records India`s growth at 6-8%. What a bloody joke called Industrialization of India.

RN,

What happenend? I am left wondering why RBI, in India, has left me to be scoffed at?

Am I missing something for not to be scoffed at?

netdo,

Here FDs give us 10% interest rates now.. so whats 3.5% unless of course as an NRE you cannot open FDs.

why 8% interest rate in money market account is a decent return. Are they as safe as FDs.. what are money market accounts btw? I am clueless about these things.

And on our FDs too we pay tax.

But what does FED get by lending at 0%.... What does that 0% fed interest rate imply?? couldnt quite get.. does it imply lending to banks or lending to customers.. whats the interest rate for an FD like instrument in US?

Oh. OK. Now I understand. You are talking about locking up your money for 12 months etc as FD. But then I lose the liquidity that I cherish the most.

Thx
