At the outset, the Secretary reiterated the Prime Minister’s direction given in the Pragati meeting held on December 26, that all the Senior officers at the level of Chairman/ MD/ ED of PSBs/PSICs should review at least 20 cases to monitor quality of resolution of the resolved grievances every month.
During the review meeting, he observed that the majority of customers raised complaints due to genuine grievances against an organisation, and stressed that customer satisfaction is at the heart of the grievance redressal mechanism.
He also stressed that any laxity/negligence in grievance redressal is against the ethos of customer service and diminishes the reputation/brand value of the organisation and directed that public grievances be addressed sincerely and positively in a time-bound manner. Nagaraju also underlined the need for technical and IT solutions to minimise repetitive complaints and increase efficiency.
The finance ministry on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, met representatives of public sector bank and insurance companies to speed up the resolution of public grievances in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s directive that senior leadership must review such grievances personally.
