A failed ATM Transaction occurs due to various reasons such as wrong PIN, technical error, ATM runs out of cash etc. but here we will discuss only about the failed transactions in which amount gets deducted but customer does not get cash.
Below are few events which bother the customer most:Failed ATM transaction but amount deducted
(i) Intended Amount gets deducted but no cash is dispensed by ATM.
(ii) Intended Amount gets deducted but entire amount is not dispensed by ATM. For example, the account is debited with Rs.5,000 but only Rs.500 is dispensed by the ATM.
(iii) Intended Amount is dispensed by ATM but customer leaves the ATM before collecting cash and the cash is retracted by the ATM.
(iv) Customer’s account gets debited twice for the same transaction. The customer makes a withdrawal (say Rs. 5,000) and his/her account gets debited with double the amount (say Rs. 10,000).
In some of the cases amount automatically gets credited back to the customer’s account within reasonable time (same day) but you should always keep the transaction slip with you till the amount gets credited because this is the only evidence containing all the important information about your ATM transaction such as:
Name of the ATM Bank –This refers to the ATM of the corresponding bank in which the transaction was made.
Location –The ATM branch
Date of transaction –The date at which the transaction was made
Time of transaction –The time at which the transaction was made
Transaction reference number –This is generally a 8-9 digit number which appears on the transaction slip
Response Code
Card No/Account Number- only the last 3-4 digits will be visible
Nature of Transaction – Nature of transaction refers to the activity which was carried out while using the card, such as withdrawing cash, updating account details etc.
In case your account does not get credited within reasonable time, the RBI directive of May 27, 2011 titled “reconciliation of transaction at ATMs failure time limit” comes to your aid. This directive says that the concerned bank have to credit the wrongly debited amount within seven days of receiving complaint. Any failure to do so shall attract penalty of Rs.100 per day beyond seven days and this compensation shall be credited automatically to the customer’s account with the credit of the failed transaction.
This directive also make it clear that non-adherence of the provisions of this circular shall attract penalty as prescribed under the payment and settlement system act 2007.
So please write to the nodal officer of the concerned bank immediately demanding bank to comply with the RBI direction and credit the amount along with the compensation, if any, to your account. You can also send a copy of the complaint to the banking regulator.
If you still do not get the money, file a complaint with the banking ombudsman. Addresses of offices of Banking Ombudsman and their areas of operation are given in this page: Banking Ombudsman Addresses and Areas of Operation. An online complaint facility is available here: BO Online Complaint. Official information on the Banking Ombudsman Scheme and other resources are available HERE. File your complaint as soon as possible after getting a response from your bank. However, if your bank does not respond, you need to wait at least for 30 days before approaching the BO. Give all the particulars of your transaction in your complaint to BO, such as:
Your bank, account number, and branch (where you have your account)
Name of the bank whose ATM was used and ATM location
Date and time of transaction
Amount of attempted withdrawal
