We hve an account number 52210126600 at Connaught Place, Delhi Branch of Standard Chartred Bank . We had kept more than Rs 12000 in this account before we moved from Delhi to Bangalore four years ago as we expectd to go back to Delhi after a few more years stay in Bangalore. We are surprised to find that about Rs 12000 plus left in the account have been slowly deducted by the Standard Chartred Bank as hefty "dormant account charges" at Rs 1200 per quarter without our consent and without any agreement. We never authorized the bank to deduct such amounts unilaterally from our account in this manner.


The bank is requested to close our account and refund full original amount with interest and without any deductions. The bank should also confirm that it will not cheat any other Indian in such manner.

I understand that Bank is not having financials problems all over the world and such blatant fraud in India may be a step by the bank to improve its fiances. But the Bank should not be allowed to carry out business in India if it follows such practices blatantly and without any fear.
