Manoj Madhusudhanan took a ₹1.86 crore home loan from ICICI Bank.
As collateral, he handed over his original property documents. Every homebuyer does this. You have no choice.
ICICI Bank sent those documents to their storage facility in Hyderabad via courier. Somewhere on that journey — Bangalore to Hyderabad — the documents vanished.
Gone. Originals. Irreplaceable.
When Manoj found out, ICICI Bank had one answer: it was the courier company's fault. Not ours.
He went to the Banking Ombudsman. They told ICICI to publish a public notice about the loss and pay him ₹25,000 for the trouble.
Twenty-five thousand rupees. For losing the original documents to a ₹1.86 crore property.
Manoj sent a legal notice. ICICI denied any mistake.
He went to the NCDRC.
The apex consumer court looked at the facts. The bank had taken custody of the documents. The bank had chosen the courier. The bank could not hand that liability to a third party and walk away.
ICICI Bank — India's second-largest private bank, ₹9 lakh crore in assets — was held liable. Ordered to obtain reconstructed certified copies, issue an indemnity bond, and pay ₹25 lakh in compensation.
One loan. One lost file. One bank that blamed the courier.
Save this — if your bank loses your original property documents, they cannot blame their courier agent. The documents were in their custody. The liability is theirs. File at your district consumer forum. The law is on your side.

Dear Wealth Builders,
When I pick stocks, I use a strict set of filters... These are non-negotiable... There is a famous saying -"When you give someone a fish, you feed him for a day. But when you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime"... So below I am telling you some important filters I use while selecting stocks.
Return on Equity > 15% – because a business that cannot earn high returns on shareholders’ money is not worth owning.
Cash Flow from Operations > 60–75% of Net Profit – because profit without cash is just accounting fiction.
Contingent Liabilities < Net Profit – because hidden risks can wipe out future earnings in one stroke.
Promoter Holding > 45% – because if owners themselves don’t have skin in the game, why should you?
Price to Book < 6 – because valuation matters; paying any price for growth is the biggest retail blunder.
Debt to Equity < 0.2 – because excessive debt kills even great businesses when cycles turn.
Increase in Net Block > 50 – because real growth shows up in expanding productive assets, not just in stories.
Market Cap > ₹50 crore but < ₹2,000 crore – because I focus on scalable yet undiscovered opportunities.
Tax Paid > 25% of Net Profit – because consistent tax outflow means profits are genuine, not manipulated.
Dividend Payout > 2% – because real cash distribution shows shareholder friendliness.
3-Year Sales Growth > 8% – because without top line growth, profits are not sustainable.
Other Income < 40% of Net Profit – because real businesses earn from operations, not from “other” sources.
5-Year Average ROE > 15% – because consistency over cycles is more important than one good year.
Return on Assets > 10% – because assets must generate adequate returns, or else management is inefficient.
This is getting hilarious
