Hi Indira,

Thanks for your comments and time, I'm now planning to revisit the ICICI branch and put some pressure to extract the info.

Bindu

Hi Bindu,

I was in the same boat, I was calling the customer service people with no progress for about 20 days. Luckily got a link through one of my colleague and contacted a person working for the HDFC bank and got it done after a week of followup 8) 8). If you know someone(anyone from any ICICI branch), you should give them a call and ask for help, explaining the situation. If you are unable to get someone working for ICICI, then the best bet would be to visit your home branch(Hope this is the place where you took your BD) and seek help. First they will say no, impossible etc., But you have to be determined to get it done, and tell them 3 of your friends have already done this with the ICICI before and they were able to confirm the status. Explain them the situation and tell them there would be no clue about the application and the money and indicate that the draft might be lost too. Just play some games and get it done :) You know how things work here :)

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.
 
Hi Anil,

Thanks for your valuable advice , I'll try it out hope I can get the required info.

Dear Bindu / Indira / Rajan_rikhi (and others worried about their BDs)

Sorry .... for the delay in replying. I was actually of the opinion that it is just next to impossible to know about the status of one's BD / DD. Where as the real thing (actual process) to know about the same is quite easy ..... ;D ;D
Bankers just don't want to help. Here goes my suggestion ....
The process is somewhat same like DD .... imagine your DD gets lost .. you will go to the banker (with a photocopy / DD #) ... and give a request to stop payment / cancel it. How does it get processed????? ..... confusing...... OK

The process is like this --> as soon as you get an International BD, the equivalent amount in INR gets debited to your account (if you have an account in the same bank, otherwise you have to deposit this amount in the bank) .... And this amount goes to a regional bank with Forex Division (my case) & may be ICICI Mumbai with Forex Div. (for ICICI issued BDs) AND sits (credited) in an unspecified account (I say it 'Suspense Account'). Now this money will lie in this account till the beneficiary (here CIO) deposits BD in their account. As soon as their account gets credited, in India reverse will happen ...it gets debited from the Suspense A/c. The money gets transferred electronically and not physically :o :o :o
So you have to ask your banker to confirm whether this money has been electronically debited from the Main/Regional / Head Branch (Forex division - where it gets deposited/ transferred). Keep the BD copy & # for reference. Sit on their head and ask them politely to confirm the same .... ;D 8) :P ......... they CAN do it.... All the Best.

Cheers, Anil

Just catching upto the excitement of the forum. I hope everyone can share the good news on AOR. My application was received Aug 12 and still I have been couple of times to the Post office to check my mail. In case the worst happens meaning my application failing the eligibility. How long will it take them to return my application and issue me a refund. And how are refunds issued anyways.

Guys with knowledge please let me know....
 
Congratuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulatttttttttion physiocraze. ;)
We will put the king crown in your head because you are first AOR received.

Have a good luck for other forum members.

Did you check whether your payment has been encashed? That is the most important clue. There have been other posts where the returned apps have taken a lot longer than 2 months to reach the applicants. Hope that is not the case with you.

And, I believe the AORs are received as emails, so you would not have to run to post office everyday!
 
Hello Guys!


I want to ask your opinion about my case.I was not able to provide a job contract because the officer in charge was on leave for a couple of weeks.Due to anxiety for the cap limit,Instead I wrote a letter to CIO,and explain my situation.That's why,I was able to send my documents last Nov.3,2010. However,I have secure a copy of my job contract last week.

So,Do you think I need to sent it to CIO?I am really confused about this.Please enlighten me,I am worried since NOC 3152 is about to reach it's limit.


Thanks!!!

Do you know whether your payment has been encashed? If not, I think it would not be a bad idea to write a detailed explanation letter (including Principal Applicant's name/date of birth/NOC/date of receipt of original application) and attach this missing letter, requesting them to consider the date of receipt as the original date.
 
Dear physiocraze,

Can you write the eact email ad from the letter you received, I am trying to inquire cic regarding my
documents, I just want to know if my docs were returned.
Thanks for your help.
