RBI Complaint management system portal is a place where you can register a complaint against a bank or financial institution. This facility is available for all banking customers. It is completely online web portal based facility.
In case of banking fraud, illegal activity or unauthorized transaction you can report it online at RBI under the banking ombudsman scheme.
Recently, one of my friends has become a victim of social engineering fraud. The attacker contacted him and manipulated him into disclosing information about his credit card CVV. The modus operandi was simple. The call was done to him and a lucrative offer was given saying you are getting 10% cashback offer on your credit card bill. You need to share your credit card number and CVV for verification. By mistake, this information was shared and credit card was used online in an unauthorized way. He complains at Bank but his complaint was not addressed by the bank. He made a complaint on the RBI complaint management system portal and his complaint was addressed.
He shared this information with me and I decided to write about – RBI Complaint Management System Portal (RBI CMS Portal). I am sure this post will help all readers who are looking for answer – How to register a complaint against bank?
