The party has deposited only 10 percent of the amount and has taken back the cheques. Now who gave you this info that the amount was the same as the borrowed amount?? If the person who took loan gave wrong info then a case of fraud and cheating is made out. Also a civil suit must be filed for recovery of money.

If you have given undated cheques duly signed by you then you authorise party to fill in details 

 

if cheque amount debited to your account is more than amount payable to party then you have to sue party to recover your dues with interest

Hello, 

  1. It is not very clear why the bank would have debited the amount without intimation to you as it could not have done so even if the debtor approached it as the transaction is in your account. 
  2. Ask the bank to put the credit back in the account immediately. If the bank refuses to do so, you can issue a legal notice demanding the credit and take the bank to court. 
  3. In the meantime collect a statement of account from the bank with its stamp.

rtgs is for 27,000,00. But bank claims the rtgs was for 270000 and deducted the excess without your permissions and intimation. This is clear case of deficiency of service. If the RTGS  and amount of cheques is for 27L that amounts to criminal  breach of trust by bank and you can proceed by filing criminal complaint under Section 406 in the court of Magistrate. If the amount of cheque is 270000/- than it amount of deficiency of service for which  you can seek compensation. Issue a lawyer's notice  seeking compensation with interest. After that file a complaint in District Consumer Forum  under new Consumer Protection Act, 2019 under which  proceeding are very fast. You will get compensation with interest, for mental harassment, cost of complaint and lawyer’s fee.

Dear Sir,

1) You should file FIR at your nearest police station for fraud and cheating.

2) You should also file case under consumer court for deficiency of services against the bank.

3) File civil case for recovery of money from the other party.

Thank you

- Legally the bank cannot debit the amount from your bank without your permission or information .

- Hence, you can lodge a complaint against the said bank to the RBI for the deficiency of services and can also send a legal notice. 

- Further , you should lodge a compliant against that party to take the cheques from the bank .

1. This is preposterous.

2. Immediately serve a lawyer's notice to the bank and seek the refund of sum to your account.

3. If the sum is not refunded then a Writ Petition may be filed in the High Court.
