Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday launched a Complaint Management System (CMS) to smoothen its grievance redressal process by seamlessly allowing customers and banks and other RBI-regulated financial institutions to address customer grievances.

RBI’s `Complaint Management System (CMS)’ is a software application to facilitate the grievance redressal processes. Members of public can access the CMS portal at RBI’s website to lodge their complaints against any of the entities regulated by RBI.
Keeping the convenience of the customers in mind, CMS has been designed to enable on-line filing of complaints. It provides features such as acknowledgement through SMS/Email notification(s), status tracking through unique registration number, receipt of closure advises and filing of appeals, where applicable. It also solicits voluntary feedback on the customer’s experience.
CMS has self-help material (in video format) to guide the users of the portal; videos on safe banking practices; and on the regulatory initiatives of RBI.
The system facilitates regulated entities to resolve customer complaints received through CMS by providing seamless access to their Principal Nodal Officers/Nodal Officers. The system provides facilities for generation of a diverse set of reports to monitor and manage grievances by the regulated entities. They can use the information from CMS for undertaking root cause analyses and initiating appropriate corrective action, if required.
The CMS also has facilities for RBI officials handling the complaints to track the progress of redressal. The information available in CMS could also be used for regulatory and supervisory interventions, if required. With the launch of CMS, the processing of complaints received in the offices of Banking Ombudsman (BO) and Consumer Education and Protection Cells (CEPCs) of RBI has been digitalised.
Launching the Complaint Management System, RBI governor Shakthikanata Das said CMS symbolises RBI’s commitment to improve customer experience in grievance redressal process by ensuring timely resolution of complaints. He sought the co-operation of all RBI-regulated entities with public interface such as commercial banks, urban co-operative banks, non-banking financial companies etc in resolving customer complaints in a speedy and meaningful manner to promote public confidence in the financial system. 
“Sustaining the confidence of consumers in banks and other Financial Service Providers (FSPs) through prompt and effective grievance redressal, together with empowering customers through education is pivotal for maintaining trust in the banking system,” he said.
