Q: ATM dispensed less cash yet status showed transaction completed

On 4th August, 2018 I had visited an ATM of to withdraw money. The amount I entered for withdrawal was Rs.11,500/-. From the ATM I got a total amount of Rs.6000/- only. The denomination of the currency which was obtained from the ATM was: Rs.500x12 = Rs.6000/-. The ATM display screen at the time showed "Transaction complete". I have tried all complaints procedure and bank have rejected the claim. What to do now?

You can try complaining to the cyber cell of the local police. You may also approach the police for a proper investigation. Another option is the banking ombudsman which looks into service deficiencies on part of the banks.

Ever since then they have not issued my relieving letter and my remaining salary. On following up they are saying that they are investigating on the matter and cannot commit how long will this take. Now I want to start my own company which is of completely different concept, can I do that without any obstacles?
