Fraud done with a cancelled cheque issued to a broking company.


09-Apr-2023 (In Banking / Finance Law)
Dear sir, I had issued a cancelled cheque to a broking firm for opening of demat account. On date 31/03/2017 my bank statement showing debit of Rs. 200000 with the same cheque number. Further I got this information from branch manager that someone changed my registered mobile number. The application for change in mobile number registration does not contain my signature someone else tried to do my signature. I asked branch manager to provide me the authorization letter written by me, but he could not produce the same. Neither he showed me any xerox of id and address proof. I would like to know what option I have available so that I can get back my hard earned money. The person in which account the amount get credited had withdrew the whole amount. I have a scan copy of the cheque received from broking firm's email id. Further Hard copy of the cheque with stamped of the broking firm. And other relevant information copy received from Bank. Please help.

MY OPINION THAT i have strictly follow your submission & i think that you have so many legitimate grounds to charge against all wrong doings of the bank employees, and you have scope to produce evidence against all wrong doings at competent forum.

First and foremost hire a legal firm. I am a co- partner in a legal firm. Can help you in that case secondly​ send advocate letter demanding the authorization letter and even if they produce one out of air. In banking law it's clearly written that you have to be present personally to give that authorization letter to that bank, so there is a negligence on the part of bank. So they are liable too. Secondly file a section 420 and 406, a criminal proceeding against the broking company, our criminal department will be Happy to help you. And will get you fund back if you do accordingly.regards
