The Banking Ombudsman Scheme 1995  
When the scheme was first launched in 1995, its main objective was to provide a platform for resolving grievances of customers against banks. It covered a limited range of complaints, primarily focusing on issues related to banking services, including delays in the provision of services, charges, and interest rates. The Scheme was designed to be an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, bypassing the need for lengthy and costly litigation. Customers could approach the Ombudsman for resolution without paying any fees, making it an attractive and accessible option for small account holders. The Ombudsman had the authority to investigate complaints and issue awards, which banks were required to comply with. This scheme played a _____ ____ ____ _______ ___.
