Dear Sir,
Analysis and Disclosure of complaints -
Disclosure of complaints / unimplemented awards of
Banking Ombudsmen alongwith Financial Results
The Committee on Procedures and Performance Audit on Public Services (CPPAPS) had recommended that banks should place a statement before their Boards analyzing the complaints received. CPPAPS had further recommended that the Statement of complaints and its analysis should also be disclosed by banks along with their financial results. Further, a suggestion has been received that unimplemented awards of the Banking Ombudsman should also be disclosed alongwith financial results.
2. The matter has been examined in the light of enhancing the effectiveness of the grievance redressal mechanism and banks are accordingly advised to place a statement of complaints before their Boards / Customer Service Committees alongwith an analysis of the complaints received. The complaints should be analysed (i) to identify customer service areas in which the complaints are frequently received; (ii) to identify frequent sources of complaint; (iii) to identify systemic deficiencies; and (iv) for initiating appropriate action to make the grievance redressal mechanism more effective.
3. Further, banks are also advised to disclose the following brief details alongwith their financial results:
