It needs to be emphasised that this mechanism is only meant for seeking information and NOT for making complaints. The Reserve Bank of India has a separate mechanism for redressal of complaints against banks and its own departments.

Complaints against Services Provided by RBI Regulated Entities (REs)

The Reserve Bank of India has provided for a separate channel for lodging complaints against ‘deficiency in services’* rendered by a Regulated Entity (RE).

For complaints against a specific RE, the complainant may first lodge a written complaint with the RE. If the complaint is rejected wholly or partly by the RE, or the complainant is not satisfied with the RE’s response; or, the complainant had not received any reply within 30 days after the RE received the complaint, the complainant can lodge the complaint against the RE online on the Reserve Bank’s Complaint Management System (CMS) portal https://cms.rbi.org.in or send in physical mode to the ‘Centralised Receipt and Processing Centre’ (CRPC) set up at RBI, 4th Floor, Sector 17, Chandigarh - 160017. The complaints received are handled by the Offices of the RBI Ombudsman as provided under the Reserve Bank – Integrated Ombudsman Scheme (RB-IOS), 2021. Complaints against the REs which do not fall within the purview of the RB-IOS are handled by the Consumer Education and Protection Cells (CEPCs) of RBI.

You may visit the following links for more information:

  1. The Reserve Bank – Integrated Ombudsman Scheme (RB-IOS), 2021,

  2. Addresses of RBI Ombudsmen

  3. Address and contact details of CEP Cells

Further, a Contact Centre with Toll-Free number - 14448 has also been operationalized to guide / educate consumers on grievance redressal process at RBI and the process of lodging complaint, as well as guide the complainants regarding the status of their complaints already lodged with RBIOs / CEPCs. The Contact Centre is available between 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (weekdays except National Holidays) for English, Hindi and in ten Regional Languages (Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Telugu and Tamil)

*“Deficiency in service” means a shortcoming or an inadequacy in any financial service, which the Regulated Entity is required to provide statutorily or otherwise, which may or may not result in financial loss or damage to the customer.

Complaints against RBI Services

Any person who has a grievance against any department of the Reserve Bank may lodge his / her complaint at crpc@rbi.org.in. The complaint should contain the name and address of the complainant, the department against which the complaint is being made, and facts of the case supported by documents, if any.

Enforcement Department is created within the Reserve Bank with effect from April 3, 2017 with a view to separate the function of identification of contravention of respective statutes/guidelines and directives by the regulated entities from imposition of punitive action and to make this process endogenous, formal and structured.

The core function of the department is to enforce regulations with the objective of ensuring financial system stability and promoting public interest and consumer protection. The department will, inter alia, (i) develop a sound policy framework for enforcement consistent with international best practices; (ii) identify actionable violations on the basis of inspections /supervisory reports and market intelligence reports received/generated by it, conduct further investigations/verifications, if required, on the actionable violations thus identified and enforce them in an objective, consistent and non-partisan manner; (iii) deal with the complaints referred to it by the Bank's top management for possible enforcement action, and (iv) act as a secretariat to the Executive Directors’ Committee constituted for adjudication.
