Grievance redressal

If something has gone wrong, this is how it gets fixed.

Three named levels inside Basel, each with an officer and a contact, and one clock for the whole complaint. If we still have not resolved it, there is a route to the Reserve Bank of India that does not depend on us.

Escalation

Start at Level 1. Escalate if you need to.

You do not have to work out who is responsible. Start at the first level; if it is not resolved, or you are not satisfied with the answer, move to the next.
7 daysAcknowledgement
We acknowledge your complaint, with a reference number, within 7 days of receiving it. This is Basel's own commitment.
30 daysResolution
We resolve it within 30 days of first receiving it, at whichever level it arrives, including the Lending Service Provider. Escalating does not restart the 30 days.
90 daysYour window for the RBI Ombudsman
If we have not replied within 30 days, or you are not satisfied, you have 90 days to complain to the Reserve Bank of India. See below.

If Basel has not resolved it

Take it to the Reserve Bank of India.

If Basel has not replied within 30 days of receiving your complaint, or has rejected it, or you are not satisfied with the reply, you may complain to the RBI Ombudsman under the Reserve Bank - Integrated Ombudsman Scheme, 2026. Do so within 90 days of those 30 days ending, or of our last reply to you, whichever is later. You do not need our permission, and there is no fee.
