Reading: I applied for a blocked account for my German studies at Deutsche Bank’s Pune branch on August 26th, submitting all required documents. The bank representative asked me to inform them once the funds were deposited, which I did on September 12th. Despite repeated attempts to follow up, I only learned on September 19th that my representative was unavailable due to illness, requiring me to redo the entire documentation process. I completed everything again on September 21st, and was assured the account would be opened immediately. However, the processing took longer than the promised 15 days, disrupting my visa application.

The bank’s delay in processing your blocked account application despite your repeated follow-ups and completion of required documents may be considered a breach of contract or negligence, potentially affecting your visa application. You have the right to seek redress under Indian consumer protection laws and banking regulations, which provide for compensation for such delays.
