A Delhi consumer forum has directed the <keyword id="13222" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sbi" source="Orion">SBI</keyword> Cards &amp; Payments Services Pvt. Ltd. to pay Rs 2 lakh to a person here for sending him bill even after his card's expiry and blacklisting him for non-payment of the charges. The New Delhi District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum comprising its president Monika A Srivastava and members Kiran Kausal and Umesh Kumar Tyagi directed the company to pay the amount to M J Anthony, a former journalist, for "deficiency in providing services". The forum noted that the company had blacklisted him in the CIBIL system of the wilful defaulters maintained by the RBI, which resulted in the rejection of his applications for credit cards from another bank where he had maintained regular account for nearly two decades. "This Commission is of the view that the SBI Cards &amp; Payments Services Pvt. Ltd. has been deficient in providing services to the complainant and though the damage/loss occasioned to the complainant in terms of credit rating cannot be measured in terms of money yet punitive damage ought to be awarded against OP (opposite party) therefore, OP is directed to compensate the complainant by paying a sum of Rs 2 lakh as compensation within two months from the date of this order failing which the sum payable would be Rs 3 lakh," the forum said. The forum passed the order on May 20 on Anthony's complaint seeking compensation, claiming that he had requested the company to cancel his card in April 2016 much before its expiry and not to renew it. He did not use the card for any transaction after April 9, 2016 and had destroyed the card according to rules, he said, adding that no payment was due at that time on the card. In September, the complainant received a letter from the company about the cancellation of his card, however, the company continued to send bills relating to the card ignoring his protest e-mails, he said. The bills were to the tune of Rs 2,946 by May 18, 2017 inclusive of late payment charges and penalty, he said. He stated that in the same letter, the company had warned him to pay the bill otherwise it would "have adverse impact on the credit history as maintained by the credit Bureau and may hamper future credit requirement". The company further blacklisted him in the CIBIL system of the wilful defaulters maintained by RBI and he had trouble in getting loans or credit card. During the argument, the company had denied the allegations.

SBI penalised for sending bills to man despite credit card's expiry

The slump in SBI Cards’ share price today is on expected lines, since Carlyle Group’s price band was ₹1,021-1,072. Shares were trading around ₹1,025 as of 11:00 a.m., on September 21. <div type="image" title="SBI Cards 01_08_21 to 21_09_21." msid="86390687" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;SBI Cards share price since August&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Carlyle Group held a 15.89% stake in SBI Cards when the company listed on the Indian stock exchanges in March 2020. Since then, it has pared its stake multiple times, and with the most recent sale, its holding is down to 3.14%. However, for existing investors in the company, there’s good news on the horizon. Analysts at Edelweiss are bullish on the company and its future prospects. “We view SBI Cards as a concept stock offering high-growth and high-returns by the only listed player of its kind for a foreseeable future. It would thus sustainably command a premium accorded to few Indian stocks,” stated an Edelweiss report dated September 15. It's not just the analysts at Edelweiss who are bullish on the company.

SBI Cards is down as Carlyle dumps shares but the credit cards business is bouncing back

Now, no more forgetting that debit/credit card at the teller machine or checking twice and thrice before leaving a shopping mall in case we left the card at the billing counters! Here’s introducing the contactless debit and credit cards that come with a fraud cover of Rs 1 lakh, by the State Bank of India. 
 The <keyword id="2581731" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="contactless-cards">contactless cards</keyword> uses near field technology (NFC) that enables users to make payments by waiving or tapping the card near the contactless reader instead of swiping or dipping it. 
 
"The NFC technology makes the contactless cards very secure as the card never leaves your hand thereby reducing the <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/definition/risk" target="_blank">risk</a> of card loss and fraud. The customers can tap or wave the card at the POS machine enter the pin and complete the transaction to pay at busy locations," said bank said in a statement to media. 
 
To add to its merits, the card will come with emergency replacement facility anywhere in the world.

SBI is ensuring you won’t ever bother again about forgetting your debit card in the ATM machine

<ul><li>The shares of India’s second largest credit card issuer are down by over 33% since listing. </li><li>There is growing fear of default by those with credit card debt in India as coronavirus lockdown has brought business to a standstill and threatens large-scale unemployment. </li><li>However, it is backed by the country’s largest bank, which is owned by the government. </li><li>There is headroom for long-term growth as there are only 4 credit cards for every 100 persons in India. </li></ul>The over 15% fall in SBI Cards and Payments Services share price on Monday (April 13) has taken the stock to ₹505⁠— over 33% below the issue price of ₹755 a piece. Essentially, ₹10,000 invested in SBI Cards during the IPO is worth ₹6,700 now⁠, about a month after it got listed in the stock markets. The lockdown to contain the spread of Covid-19 novel coronavirus has brought business to a standstill and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/over-136-million-jobs-are-at-risk-due-to-corona-lockdown-here-are-the-worst-hit-sectors/articleshow/74941658.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">threatens large-scale unemployment</a>.
