Hi everyone,
I'm reaching out for advice on a situation with SBI Cards. In February, I applied for a new credit card online through the Sprint portal. However, an SBI Cards employee submitted a duplicate application without my consent, even though I requested she continue processing the original application.
Despite multiple escalations, including providing the employee's call recording, SBI Cards nodal officers haven't resolved the issue in over 30 days (10+ emails exchanged). I then filed a complaint with the RBI, which resulted in a ₹2,000 compensation and the removal of one negative impact on my credit report (CIBIL hit).
Unfortunately, the promised compensation hasn't been credited after 10 working days. I contacted the RBI customer care, but they advised the complaint is closed and recommended visiting an SBI Cards branch.
Here's my question:

Here's my question:
- Should I wait longer and request additional compensation for the delay?
- Is it better to email them for a status update or visit a branch directly?
