If the double deduction caused a bounced payment or penalty elsewhere, the lender is liable for consequential loss.

💰 What You Can Recover

Full refund of duplicate EMI + interest at savings rate + compensation for any consequential losses (bounced cheques, other penalties).

Bank must respond within 10 working days for unauthorised debit complaints.
