Before one year ago my mother in law’s FD was matured so he went to bank . And bank mager had convinced her to opr for a sbi insurence sum assured for 5 lakh and premium was 50000 each yearfor five years.manager had received a cheque of 500000 for that and 50000 was cut but auto debit toward sbi insurance plan. My mother in law is dumb in this mater so she she thought 500000 sum assured as she given to bank in bill. The bank manager had told her that she can withdraw 5 lac any time she wants. Now after one year i cheked the detail and 5 lac had nothing to do with that policy document. I also chek passbook and entry of 5 lac is in favour of some bank ac number which was not associated with any of us. So i am going tomorrow to meet that manager. If he resist that that 5 lakh chaq was signd by your mother and we dont have anything with this issue then what can i do?? What shud i consider when i am going to meet him??

1) file police complaint of cheating , criminal breach of trust against bank manager if he has fraudulently transferred Rs 5 lakhs being maturity amount of FD into his account 

 

2) if your mother in law has opted for until linked insurance plan for Rs 5 lakhs wherein Rs 50000 was to be paid every year by her for period of 5 years on maturity she would get Rs 5 lakhs then you cnnaot hold bank manager responsible as mother in law has signed policy documents

1. This is the modus operandi played by most bank managers to dupe the gullible consumers. 

2. What bank manager has done it surely tantamount to cheating and fraud but there is no evidence to prosecute him as your mother in law must have signed the relevant forms and given her consent.

Nothing can be done as there is no evidence with you to probe the cheating committed by manager.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that your mother in law has been cheated by the bank manager.
  2. You need to ask him as they are the only one who insisted for that insurance and thereafter, why and how 5lalhs gone to some different account which do not have any link with anyone if your family members.
  3. Say that she is ok with the insurance, but why 5 lakhs cheque asked for and how the amount has been transferred to more than one account in chunks.
  4. Thereafter, you can file a complain in the police for cheating on your mother in law.

Rest, still want to know in more detail about the facts, so that would advice you more presicely.

When ever you feel any deficiency in service by the bank not in this case , in future also, immediately file an application before the Consumer Court for the same and so on.

Your mother in law after ascertaining the facts, should first inform the bank's higher officials about this fraud done by the manager and then if necessary give a complaint against the manager to the bank as well as to the police.

The bank will certainly respond after investigating the matter and give her a favorable reply or else she may proceed legally against the manager and the bank also.

This is absolutely fraud done by the manager in connivance with other bank staff in the name of a third person.

By a police complaint the manager will confess to the crimes done by him, so you may better give a police complaint after exhausting the remedies with the bank's higher officials.
