Withdrawing money from ATM? Beware of unknowing transaction errors!

I personally don’t know where is my bank branch located! As every thing carried out through ATMs, through online, I never found a reason to go to branch. Wait! don’t get excited for such a simple life, things are getting complex in ATM transactions.

After getting last months salary, I went to ATM to withdraw some money. I entered 5,200 & ATM gave error as “Unable to Connect”. I thought let’s try somewhere else & went out. But after when I checked my account status, it showed 5,200 less! Further digged to see that it is showing Rs.5,200 being withdrawn by myself!?

I made no mistake & called customer care immediately, but they asked me to give complaint next day as system was down that time. Again I called them next morning & registered my complaint. Customer care told me they will let me know the status of complaint within 9 hours, but they are not. I called them up 2-3 times that week & answer was the issue not yet resolved.

After a week I again called them & I heard something else this time. They told “This is a void transaction & will take 35 days to get your money back”. Aila! 35 days was very big for me, I had lot of commitments with that money. I argued with customer care, but no use.

After two or three days, I saw an article on kannada daily “Vijaya Karnataka” on the same issue. This kind of problems has occurred to lot of other people too.

So, be careful while withdrawing money from ATMs. Few of the points to be taken care:

  • Keep transaction slip with you when void transactions occur, as this is the only proof.
  • Remember your phone banking password (TPIN) to register complaint.
  • Register a complaint immediately after this kind of transaction. If you do not, you may loose your money.
  • Keep complaint number safe for future enquiries.

Finally I got my money back on 36th day :-) . But the way banks handling this situations is very poor. 35 days is a very long & can prove costly for any one.

    Oh! Thats good to hear that you got your money back! But 35 days is too long.
    You should lodge a complaint in consumer court as suggested by one guy here. Also, write a letter to local paper (preferably Vijaya Karnataka) and make everyone aware of such things. It only wakes up bank people to act quickly in future.

    I too faced a similar issue yday. I have an ICICI account. SInce I can withdraw money from any bank ATMs, so I went to HDFC bank to withdraw money. I put up a request for Rs 2000. ATM took some time and then it says ” Txn timed out”. I then pressed cancel and my card came out. I tried again, but same results. Now when I went I checked my account balance it says 2000 rs have been debited twice. I immediately called up the ICICI customer care and logged the complain and got a compalin no. They say it will take 8 working days as it will require sm investigation from their side. Let me see when I can get back the money.

    24 hours is good :)
    wait for 24 hours & check if it’s credited back to your account.
    If not call customer care & keep doing that until you get credited with your money.
    Though I can’t assure you will get your money back, in most of they cases, these errors will be successfully resolved.

    Hi,

    This is my worst experience I had with Citibank. This month I withdraw Rs. 12000/- from the Citibank ATM machine. But it dispensed only Rs. 10,500/-. Immediately (next second) I registered a complaint saying I recieved Rs. 1500/- less. Also I gave the denominations list too. They asked me to send the mail. I sent the mail. After one week I recieved reply stating that “Transaction is valid” I am sure and for God’s sake I know I got only Rs. 10,500/- but they again and again say that the transaction is valid meaning I recieved Rs. 12,000/-. Beware of Citibank ATM. Nowadays there is no need of outside thief to come and loot in ATM. They themselves do this. BEWARE OF CITIBANK ATM!

    Hi All,
    I am also this problem. I have Saraswat Bank ATM card & tried to withdraw money from on 13-4-2008 from AXIS bank ATM, but got message “request timed out” and amount debited to my account.

    Since then I am following regularly with my branch, but they always say that there is no reply received by AXIS bank, as in their account it’s showing as money withdrawn.

    Kindly suggest any one what to do. Also suggest how to move to consumer court against this type of poor service & harrashments.

    Thanks every one.

    @Rajesh
    I guess following your branch means you registered a complaint?
    If so keep a slip, complaint number with you. Can you tell what actually staff in your branch told to you? Because when I faced same problem, they said they have not yet received any reply from Corp. bank. And it to around 35 days to resolve. So, did they gave you any deadline? say 30 days or something like that?

    I used my HDFC Debit Card to withdraw Rs 4500 from an ICICI ATM located in Godrej,Vikhroli West,Mumbai ( on 1st august,2008 After punching in my PIN and the amount to withdraw, the ATM worked on for a while and finally the Transaction was declined. I was stunned later to find that my account was debited with Rs 4500 even when the cash was not dispensed. I raised a dispute with HDFC bank ,They asked me to make a complaint and my money would be returned in 3-4 working days. after 3 days the hdfc employee called up to tell me that ICICI claims that the transaction to be valid and I will have to fill up another form called ” Card Dispute Form” which i did on 6th August at HDFC Branch,Mumbai and the employee told me that it would take at least 35 -50 days to get my money back and i will only get the money back if my transaction was invalid, otherwise i would be charged Rs 100 as a fee.

    Now what proof do i have and how can i claim that my transaction was invalid and i didn?t get any money and why will take 35 -50 days to resolve this issue ?

    I consider this as a complete lack of empathy to the customer and his problems. Who is to blame ICICI or HDFC?

    @ ARUP MUKHERJEE:

    This kind of problem usually happens when you try withdrawing money from other bank’s networked ATM. So there is no question about faulty services. Just inform your bank with a written letter and get a copy of the letter received by the banking officials. If that doesn’t solve your problem, you may even approach the banking sectors watch dog, i.e. Banking Ombudsman.

    Dont ever go for Standard Chartered Bank. I don know abt other banks but please read the below incident and think how you?d react if you?re put into such sutiation.

    On the day of October 2, 2008, I tried to withdraw an amount of Rs. 22000 to pay house advance through Allahabad ATM. The ATM didnt work properly and the money didnt get dispensed. I raised a complaint with the Customer Care and they informed me that this is normal and i?ll get the money back within three working days or 11 working days. On October 14th i received a call stating i need to sign a dispute form and its been courier to me. i need to sign it and send it back to customer care mumbai. On October 17th, i called the customer care to know the status. They said i need to go to the bank and give a dispute form. I went bank and they asked the reference number. Please be careful. Whenever you raise a complaint be sure you get the reference number.
    Since i didnt have the reference number i called the customer care from the bank and i was told that there is no complaint raised at all. I felt much troubled. because i?ve the reference number recorded in my pc. Again i raised a complaint on October 18th.

    Now the latest news is I may get the money back on December 2, 2008.
    See how a normal salaried person could survive without 22,000. Now i?m applying for a personal to submit house deposit.

    BEWARE OF ATMs. DONT TAKE HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. TRY 1000s first then try for large amount.

    Whenever you call and raise a complaint record the whole conversation in your mobile and dont forget to get the reference number. Without the reference number, you complait is VOID.

    They?ve multiple customer care. one in bangalore, one in chennai and another one in mumbai. When you raise complaint in Mumbai branch and ask the customer care of bangalore about the status- they?d simply say that there is no complaint recorded.

    Whenever you get a phonecall from Standard Chartered Customer care, record the number, person name and his/her branch. Without this they wont consider your complaint.

    IF ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RAISE A COMPLAINT IN CONSUMER COURT PLEASE LET ME KNOW

    I have an account with HDFC Bank,
    on 8th OCT 2008, I tried to use HDFC Visa card in an ICICI
    tried to withdraw amount Rs 15000, amount was debited from my account but cash was not dispenced from ATM :
    didnot even get slip from ATM

    Logged a complain with HDFC on 9th OCT :

    Upon the request of HDFC customer care executive on 13 OCT, submitted a written Charge Back form on 14 OCT 2008.

    To this day the amount is not credited back.
    HDFC bank says it will credit the amount back on 13 DEC 2008 , which is two and half months after the transaction is done.
    And moreover the response from the bank is not satisfactory, they say VISA will take 35 to 50 days for the amount to be credited back , Have asked them to share such a document which talks about this process . but they are unable to share any such document.

    As many of you have already pointed out , it is really dissapointing on these banks part to make customer for for 2 months to wothdraw their own cash.

  • Kunal Anshal

    Let me put a first hand account here. I had earlier posted a comment in this group regarding ATM not dispensing cash, but amount getting debited from my account. ATM used is HDFC where as I hold an ICICI account. Upon follow up with ICICI, they recorded my complain, initiated a charge back on HDFC and told me that the process will take 45 days to get the credit back. Meanwhile I kept on following up with them over emails just to keep record of my exchanges with them. To my utmost pleasure, I did get the credit back after 45 days. So I would suggest you folks to give it a max time of 45 days before you take it to any further escalations with your bank. Ideally if things are fine, you can get the credit back within 24 hrs of such cases, if it doesn’t happen then log a complain and wait for 45 days.

    Hope this will sooth some minds :)

    In SBI Kailasapuram on 1st Nov’08 excess debit for Rs. 15000/ happened in my ATM transaction. Fortunately I verified the slip and lodged complaint immediately. But no solution yet. Why this happens? How to make SBI responsible for consequential damages due to non availability of our fund erroneously parked somewhere?
    Can anyone suggest? This is the vigilance week!!!!!!!!!!

    @Thirumala – I really regret whatever happened with you. This is becoming a huge problem. For normal people like us, 8000 is a huge amount. These banks should upgrade their system to avoid these kind on inconvenience, I don’t know whon to talk with :(

    Anybody here knows anyone who can take this issue up? Suggestions are appreciated.

    I was trying to withdraw Rs. 5000/-from citibank atm with axis bank card there came transaction error, I tried once again I noted my account was debited. first I called up citibank they told it is entirely in hand of axis bank and told me to call them. I met the customer care at their branch, they told it will take atleast 45 days to reverse it.I met branch head at main branch in the city he said it might do satellite error or at probelm with atm machine. 15 days over still Iam waiting for my cash. when I read the comments, I learn so many people have similar experience and some got back the money with in 45 days, brings some hope of getting back my money. I will wait 45 days before going for further steps.

    I tried to withdraw Rs 8000 from the SBI ATM using my ICICI debit card as there were no ICICI ATMs in that remore area. It said that “SORRY UNABLE TO PROCESS”. Then I went to one more SBI ATM in same area and tried to withdraw Rs 7000. Finally I came to know that
    Rs.8000 + Rs 7000 = Rs.15000 was debited from my account. It happened on 6th April 09. Today is 14th April 09. I have lodged a complaint and I am waiting.
    I have kept my fingers crossed. Lets see what happens. But one thing is for sure that if something Negative happens then I am going to Consumer Court for this.

    @Mahesh
    I got back the money after 20 days. Amount got credited to my account. Bank for safer side might you tell that it would take 45 days to reverse the transation but actually it will take only 20 – 25 days. just you need to lodge a complaint with the concerned bank’s authority and pressure them to get it done as soon as possible.

    Hi,

    I also tried one transaction in HSBC atm via my HDFC card. But the transaction went timed out and the money was not credited to me. But the amount was deducted from my account. I registered a complaint in HDFC bank and their customer care. But the reply was very poor.

    It is about 5 day … I have kept my fingers crossed…. I think I lost my valuable amount… Now planning to complaint in Consumer court…..

    Hello Friends…

    Fortunately i got back my money after a long struggle with the bank with phonecalls and mails after 30 days…
    My advice…
    1st Step : Just Register a complaints with the bank you deal with…
    2nd Steps : Dont leave them. Give calls and mail them regularly to keep a trace of whats happening on their side.

    You will surely get back your money.

    3rd Advice : Please dont try to withdraw money from your non-home branch.
    Its risky now a days.

    I used my HDFC Debit Card to withdraw Rs 15000 from an ICICI ATM located in Chhapara Bihar ( on 25th April 2009) After punching in my PIN and the amount to withdraw, the ATM worked on for a while and finally the Transaction was declined. I was stunned later to find that my account was debited with Rs 15000 even when the cash was not dispensed. I raised a dispute with HDFC bank ,They asked me to make a complaint and my money would be returned in 3-4 working days. After 3 days the HDFC employee called up to tell me that ICICI claims that the transaction to be valid and I will have to fill up another form called ” Card Dispute Form” which I did on 30thApril 2009 at HDFC Branch,Siwan Bihar, again I came at Panipat HDFC branch and lodge a complain on 11th May 2009 and a reply came through mail in HDFC Branch of Panipat that your Charge back Form got on 4th May2009 and your amount will be credited within 12 working days but till date I have not got my amount. Even whenever I discussed with HDFC employees (Panipat) they never give positive and satisfactory reply or always they make me hares.
    So, humbly I request to you that please cooperate me and find the perfect solutions because till now I am facing very big problem of my family and till now money is more necessary then my life.
    Again I am requesting to you sir, Please consider me your brother and my problem is your own problem and give the positive results. I am depending upon you not only I my whole family is depending upon you.
    Personally I would like to ask that if satisfactory solution will not come then either I should make the complain in Consumer Court or not.

    Sir,

    Sub: Complaint regarding debit of Rs. 20,000 from my Salaried Saving Bank Account
    No. 08801100006477 without my knowledge

    I beg to inform you that I am holding Salaried Saving Bank Account No. 08801100006477 with ATM Card No. 4902540880005430 (International Debit Card). On 17/10/2009 I went to Axis Bank ATM located at Rail Coach Factory for withdrawal the amount but when I processed after inserting ATM card the ATM machine has shown on the screen ” Sorry Wrong Password.” I again tried for the same transaction but second time also shown on the screen ” Unable to Process”. Then I used the PNB ATM card on the same ATM Machine and withdrew Rs. 5000/-.

    On 19/10/2009 in the morning time I have inserted the Axis ATM card in the Axix ATM Machine but ATM Machine showed the message “Unable to Process”.. Then I went to Axis Bank Branch located at Kapurthala and contacted the manager and informed him that my ATM card is not working properly and I want to make the Fixed Deposit of Rs. 1 Lac from my Saving Account. On checking the details of my account the manager informed me that the balance of my account is Rs. 81616/- instead of Rs. 1,01,616/-. He further informed me that the amount of Rs. 20000/- has been withdrawn on 17/10/2009 whereas I did not withdraw this amount from my account.

    I would request you that this matter may please be taken seriously and investigated how this huge amount of Rs. 20000/- was withdrawn without my knowledge and without using my ATM card. This gives very bad impression on our reputed corporate sector like RCF. Further I state that I am the oldest customer of your branch and I cannot expect such incident from your responsible branch.

    Yours truly,

    Babu Singh

    On 27th December I tried to withdraw an amount of Rupees Ten Thousand (10000/-) from Shyambazar Branch but the money did not come out of ATM machine and still the money is deducted from my balance.

    I lodged a complaint with customer care. The ATM is of same HDFC bank home branch. How long it takes to get the money back? Though the customer care personals say it is 3-4 days.

    If i were you, i would not post your acct information online, this is probably why you are having problems with your account. this is begging for identity theft!

  • Murali

    Hi All,
    In reference with the above posting, i am facing the same issue currently.
    I did a transaction of amount 15500 with icici atm, it made me to wait for a while as how the transaction is going on but after sometime, it showed system error. then i tried with a diff machine then noticed my worst thing is, it got deducted and had no money in my account. i logged in the complaint with iccic ccare and they told within 24 hours it will get reversed and i called the ccare and they said it will take 7 working days. Now blinking too much whether i will get this money or not.
    ATM machines are too waste especially ICICI

    Okie..

    Here is my story..
    I live in bangalore, but I’m basically from Kerala…
    I’ve couple of accounts in which one of them was from State Bank Of Travancore (SBT) Kakkattil Branch…

    as many of you know, it’s very difficult to find a SBT ATM here in bangalore. But you can see SBI ATMs everywhere.

    on 18th of Jan, I was in SP road, bangalore buying a laptop for my friend, and I wanted to withdraw 40, 000 from my account (in which I had close to 1 lakh Rupees.)

    So, I went to the nearest SBI ATM, and tried to withdraw 20K. the display was showing “Processing your request” for sometime and turned to “Request Timed Out”.
    I got the slip with a status message something like “Unable to Process this request”. I tried to withdraw 10K next..but, the result was same… (so, total 30K)..
    The guys who used the ATM before and after me was complaining the same thing.

    I took both the slips and kept in my wallet (I knew, my friend’s dad faced the same trouble before)..

    later (after 10 minutes of walk) I was able to spot a CityBank ATM and did 4 transactions of Rs.10, 000 each. during those my current balance was printed as 90K, 80K, 70K and 60K… so, as per the last slip I got from the ATM, everything was well and good. so, I teared all the slips (including the “unable to process” ones from my wallet) in to pieces .

    I went back to home and logged into SBT online page. It was a shocking moment for me, My available balance was showing as 30, 000 (instead of 60, 000).. I tried to call the customer number given in the SBT page. The guy who attended the call asked me to goto the branch to give a complaint. He also told me that I’ve to do it with-in 14 days, otherwise I’ll loose the money.
    Next day morning, I called the bank branch manager and he was also saying the same.

    So, on 24th I went to branch where I’ve my account in. met the manager and he gave me a form to fill. I filled one for 20K transaction and 2nd for 10K transaction. and he asked me give him a reminder call on next monday. and he said it will take at-least 2 weeks and at-max 3 months (since I didn’t have my slips) to to get refunded.

    But, as a surprise to me the whole amount (30K) was credited back to my account on 29th of Jan.. in two installments as I tried to withdraw.

    so, guys.. don’t loose hope… goto the branch.. give them a complaint there… and disturb the bank branch manager every other day…
    you will get your money back…

    Thanks,
    AJ…

    how manny days to recieve money because my friend send me in my atm account he his from u.k

  • Saravanan

    As per RBI, Any uncontrolled behavior of ATM machines which cause money loss for the customer should be credited back in to their account with in the next 12 days of time from the complaint date, Failing the same Bank has to pay 100 Rupees fine for every day. This is the RBI rule, you can file a case in case concern Bank failed to do this….
