This is a complaint made by Sri Rajkumar Maity against the Branch Manager and Managing Director of UNIVERSAL MULTI STATE CREDIT CO-OPERTIVE SOCIETY LTD., praying for a direction upon the OPs to return the matured value of Rs.25713.61/- along with interest @ 10% till realization, and compensation for a sum of Rs.60000/- and litigation cost of Rs.10000/-.

In short, case of the Complainant, is that, he invested a sum of Rs.400/- per month as recurring deposit from 10.07.2013 with the OP No. 2 through OP No. 1 for 2 years being Certificate No. RD 1540. The maturity value of the said deposit was Rs.10713.61/-which matured on 09.07.2015. The Complainant also invested a sum of Rs.500/- per month as recurring deposit from 18.03.2014 with the OP No. 2 through OP No. 1 for 2 years being Certificate No. 0200037107. The maturity value of the said deposit was Rs.15000/-which matured on 17.03.2016. On maturity, Complainant demanded the matured amount from the OP and submitted all relevant documents to facilitate this. However, OPs have not settled his claim hence, this case.

None of the OPs appeared to contest the case in spite of receiving summons so the case is heard ex-parte against OPs.

Point to be considered in this case is whether or not the Complainant is entitled to the relief(s) sought for by him.
