We do not have a phone number or email address for State Bank of India in our data, so use the routes the bank publishes itself: the customer care numbers and the online grievance portal on the bank's own website, the branch where your account is held, and the mobile banking app. Whatever route you use, ask for a complaint reference number, because that number is what lets you escalate later.

Never share your account number, card details, PIN, one time password or Aadhaar number with anyone who calls or messages you claiming to be from the bank, and take helpline numbers from the bank's own site, your passbook or your card rather than from search results: fake bank helpline numbers are a widespread scam. Account frozen over a KYC update? Start your complaint here and we keep coaching you after you file.

Failed Aadhaar linking is the single biggest theme in the reports we receive about this bank, and it usually comes down to a mismatch rather than a technical fault: your name spelled differently in the bank records than on your Aadhaar, a different date of birth, a mobile number that is not the one registered with Aadhaar, or an outdated KYC record on the account. Ask the branch to print out how your details are held in their system and compare them line by line with your Aadhaar.

There is also a difference worth knowing: linking Aadhaar for KYC is not the same as seeding your account in the NPCI mapper, which is what routes government benefit and subsidy credits to the right account. Ask the branch explicitly which of the two has been completed on your account, and get a stamped acknowledgement with a date for every request you submit.

Start by asking the branch that handles your pension what is actually blocking the credit, and get the answer in writing. The usual suspects are a life certificate that was never recorded, an Aadhaar or KYC mismatch on the pension account, or a seeding request that was never completed. Take your pension payment paperwork, your passbook and your identity documents with you, and ask for an acknowledgement with a reference number for the complaint, not just a promise to look into it.

Pension credit missing while the branch and the pension office each point at the other? Put it all in one dated letter to the branch manager and keep a copy. A complaint filed through our complaint process runs alongside that: we take your case to State Bank of India through emails, social media and paper complaint letters.

Escalation works in steps, and skipping one usually sends you back to the start. First register the complaint with the branch or through the bank's own grievance portal and note the reference number. If nothing happens, take that reference to the bank's grievance redressal officer for your region, and then to the nodal officer, always in writing and always quoting the original number and dates.

If the bank still does not resolve it, or does not reply at all, complaints about banks in India can be escalated to the Reserve Bank of India ombudsman scheme once the bank has had its chance to respond. Keep copies of every letter, reference number and screenshot: escalations succeed on paperwork. Bringing your complaint to us at the same time keeps the pressure on while the official route runs its course.
