Amount involved The amounts involved have sometimes been quite substantial too. For example, the report discusses a case where around Rs 5 lakh was fraudulently withdrawn from a customers account through an ATM. In another instance, Rs 18,81,743 was siphoned off from an NRE account through unauthorised online fund transfers/withdrawals. With the amount at stake being high and banks pointing fingers at the customer for compromising on security, such instances have forced customers to approach the ombudsman. In both the aforementioned cases, the ombudsman discovered lapses on the part of the bank and directed them to return the disputed money to the customer Random disturbances Global Financial Crisis Change in RBI policy Strikes Maintaining minimum balance
