Called 1930 the same night. What happens after the acknowledgement number?

Started 28 September 2026

₹86,000 went out on Saturday. I called 1930 within about forty minutes and filed on the portal the same night. I have the acknowledgement number. Nobody has contacted me since. What should I be doing this week instead of waiting?

Three things this week. Give your bank the acknowledgement number in writing and ask for a written dispute reference, not a verbal assurance. Ask them specifically whether a lien has been marked on the beneficiary account. Then follow up with the cyber cell of your district using the same number.

In my case the bank moved only after I submitted the complaint copy at the branch and took a stamped receiving. Email alone sat for eleven days.

Keep a single page with the date, time and reference number of every call you make. When the matter reaches the nodal officer, that page is what moves it.
