Sir,This is a request to the Governor to examine and annull the erroneous and damaginglymisleading RBI scrutiny note(s) pertaining to our complaint against Federal bank Limited filed during March 2002, filed with the RBI with a vivid chronology on the majorproblems dating back to the year 1996. This complaint on our repeated representationwas examined with a slipshod “scrutiny” which placed on internal record “scrutinynotes”, hitherto remained classified and undisclosed, doing us plenty of harm.
Theseare records that are completely misleading to deter the top executives of RBI and the Ministry of Finance to whom the complaint had been addressed /copied, from paying due attention to the problem.
 The scrutiny note(s) pertain to inspections conducted at Federal Bank Limited on 13 &14 October, 2003 as directed by the General Manager (Department of BankingSupervision), but these scrutiny notes were not disclosed to us, nor were theirexistence known as the cause for perceived inaction by the higher executives of RBI andthe Ministry of Finance. The existence of the scrutiny note(s) were known to us afterwe filed a query under the Rights to Information Act (2005) and one of these classifiedscrutiny note(s) was disclosed to us on April 10, 2007.The background summary of the company and the terminal banking limits :
Company: Whitefield Cottons P Limited, Erode, Tamilnadu, India.
Name of the Bank: Federal Bank Limited, Erode, Tamilnadu Branch
Commencement of Banking Transactions: March 1996
Terminal Credit Limits: Rs 80 lakhs pre-shipment export packing credit (PCL)

hello SriKirshna Vedula The issue is question is way beyond little things like account charges and minimum balance charges. It is far more fundamental.

Cheque dishonour charges are to be restricted to say maximum of Rs.50/-. Minimum balance in account to be restricted to Rs.3000/- for all banks including private/foriegn for in India, Rs.3000/- is one month lively hood for so many families and for banking to become nearer to them.
