Dear client,

In India, the unauthorized disclosure of personal financial information by a bank employee can be considered a breach of confidentiality and might fall under several laws. 

1. Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011: These rules specify certain requirements for sensitive personal data or information and how it should be handled. Disclosure of personal financial information without consent might violate these rules.

2. Banking Regulation Act, 1949: Section 47 of this Act mandates that a bank must maintain the secrecy of its customers' accounts. Unauthorized disclosure of account information could contravene this provision.

3. The Indian Penal Code (IPC): Sections such as 405 (Criminal breach of trust), 408 (Criminal breach of trust by clerk or servant), 420 (Cheating), and 499 (Defamation) might be relevant depending on the circumstances of the case.

4. The Right to Privacy: The Supreme Court of India has recognized the right to privacy as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Unauthorized disclosure of personal financial information might be seen as a violation of this right.

To initiate legal action, you would typically need to file a complaint with the police, providing evidence and details of the incident.
