EMI Dispute Complaint
EMI disputes typically involve incorrect deduction amounts, EMIs charged even after full loan repayment, or undisclosed processing/foreclosure charges. Lenders must provide a clear amortization schedule and closure letter on request.
What Is It
A complaint against a bank/NBFC for wrongly calculated or continued EMI deductions, or undisclosed charges that were not part of the original loan agreement.
When To Use It
Use this when your EMI amount doesn't match your loan agreement, an EMI is debited after the loan is fully closed, or unexplained charges appear on your statement.
Step-by-Step Process
- 1Request your original loan agreement and latest amortization/repayment schedule from the lender.
- 2Raise a written complaint with the lender's grievance cell, quoting the discrepancy with figures.
- 3Ask for a No-Dues/Loan Closure Certificate if the loan should already be closed.
- 4If unresolved in 30 days, escalate to the RBI Complaint Management System (cms.rbi.org.in).
- 5Approach the Banking/NBFC Ombudsman for a binding, free-of-cost resolution if needed.
