In India, whenever we do feel like complaining either, we end up in expressing in words to friends. If there is something important, we try to get it done someway. It is possible to file complaints about any department to the Indian Government. Here is how you can do it.

How to file complaints and annoyance to the Indian Government

Indian Government does have a portal which is open to the public and allows you to lodge your complaints on almost anything in various departments. The portal is called Public Grievances, which monitors complaints made by the public online.  It also gives you a way to track them and remind of your already registered complaints.

  2. I have a complaint against ICICI Bank. They issued a credit card in my name in 2003. I had a salary of Rs 3000 and had no ID Card. This card was issued inNOIDA. I have never been there in my life.
    Other reports are perfect. Because of their erroneous reporting i am suffering. No banks are giving me loans. CIBIL has my wrong address and wrong number of enquiries. No one is listening. They then gave a second loan in 2007.
    Total they are reporting more than 2.4 lkhs. The same entry appearing twice. I even thought of suicide.
    The card number they are reporting is:
    4477463889863011.Please help me
