Babubhai Somabhai Patel vs Hdfc Bank Ltd. on 31 August, 2026
Separate complaints filed by customers against two banks were dismissed by the State Commission as not maintainable. These appeals now focus on that key issue. The earlier order says one must check whether the transaction was commercial and meant to make profit. For business owners, the lesson is simple: if you use bank services mainly for business gains, the consumer court may refuse to hear your case.
Key Statutory Highlights
