Dear Querist,
What were you doing from September 2014. Ideally, Bank should have given you notice and asked you for an explanation and thereafter they should have taken action, having not done there is deficiency of service, they have believed the person who is not their customer. Having said that, you should also prove that the transactions are genuine and able to explain the source of funds with documentary evidence. Normally for filing a case before the consumer court for deficiency of services the limitation period is 1 year.
