What to do someone opened account by forgery in others name
02-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Today we came to know that one of our relatives has opened an account in my mother's name in HDFC bank and also is using a credit card as well in her name. We live in other city. Just by coincidence today we got a credit card statement in my mother's name and came to know of this cheating. He likely must have been helped by some bank official as well to open account. He has made himself as her nominee in accounts as well. He is in Chandigarh. We are not in Chandigarh. What do we do please?
you can file criminal complaint at Chandigarh before the Judicial Magistrate u/s 420,465, 467, 468, 471 of IPC and you can lodge an FIR also with the concerned police station. you can lodge an FIR by anyone. your mothers' presense is not required.

Question 1: Your mother is alive?
Q2: where is she
Q3: how you came to know.
Q4: what is relationship with accused.
Any way,
We can issue legal notice to bank and the person.
We can file a police complaint for registration of criminal complaint for forgery
It will be done and the culprit will be behind bars.

He committed forgery and cheating with your mother. Ask bank to provide documents through which the account was opened. Immediate give in writing about this ground to the bank and ask them to stop all the transaction fr that account. After obtaining documents file police complaint against bank and that person.

Hi,
It is a matter of deep concern as in such a situation not only the bank account is opened but forgery and impersonation is also committed. First of all go to bank and get the details of the credit card. Get it blocked and then ask the banks for details of accounts and copies of agreements in writing. If possible go for legal Notice. Lodge a police complaint against the bank and the person on whom you have doubt. The further details can be culled out of the Credit Card Statement.
If required then file civil suit for recovery if any as according to me consumer complaint will not be maintainable.
