Transactions and Refunds on Niyo Cards

Hey @Rohan_Chandrashary

We appreciate your time on the call! :blush: Following our discussion, we want to let you know that your issue has already been escalated to the bank, and we expect a resolution by 6th Dec’24. However, we’ll do our best to expedite the process. :rocket:

Rest assured, we’re here to assist you every step of the way! Thank you for your understanding.

I was informed in the month of January 2024 that Due to the Bank’s internal policies my Niyo DCB Bank Account would be closed in the month of March 2024 and I shall withdraw all my balance amount within the stipulated time else the Bank would close my account and would automatically issue a Demand Draft against the Balance Amount in my name.I received this communication both by SMS and E-Mail and this was cross checked with Niyo as well who confirmed on the same. Based on this communication, I withdrew all my balance money from the account.

However I observed even after March 2024, my account was still active and no closure confirmation was sent. This is when I contacted the customer care of both Niyo and DCB Bank via phone and I was told that I can Ignore the closure intimation sent and I can continue the usage of my account seamlessly and my money would be safe.Also I was informed about the new Schedule of charges which required me to maintain a Minimum Balance of Rs 5000 for last 4 Quarters to avoid any debit card charges of Rs 500 + GST. Since the time I was informed I have consistently maintained the minimum balance requirement of Rs 5000.

On 19th October 2024, I saw an automatic debit of Rs 590 (incl of GST) due to non maintenance of min balance in the last 4 Quarters. This is wrong since I was asked by the bank itself to withdraw my balance amount from the account due to closure and hence the minimum balance was not maintained. But After the information was received, I have regularly met the minimum balance criteria.

I would thus request the reversal of the Rs 590 debited from my account since it was due to the bank’s communication that the balance was not maintained and not because of my own self.

Now that the account remains active , I agree to the criteria of Minimum Balance ans shall continue maintaining the same for the future quarters. However Considering the miscommunication from the Bank’s end, I’s request the charges currently levied to be waived off and reversed back.
