Grievance

Protean-CRA has built a multi layered Grievance redressal mechanism which is easily accessible, simple, quick, responsive and effective.

You have the option of registering grievance/complaint through the following alternatives:

  • Web based interface:
    A Subscriber can register the grievance against any entity under NPS through log-in to the account. Alternatively, they can visit at "Log Your Grievance / Enquiry" section under "Subscriber's Corner" of this website to log the grievance/query. Through this platform, Subscriber can register grievance/query even without having the PRAN Details. On successful registration, a token number will be displayed on the screen for future reference.
  • Call Centre/ Interactive Voice Response System (IVR):
    Subscriber can contact the Protean-CRA call centre at toll free telephone number and register the grievance. Subscriber has to authenticate themselves through the use of T-pin allotted to raise the grievance. On successful registration of grievance, a token number will be allotted by the Customer Care representative for any future reference.

Upon submission of form to the associated Nodal Office, Subscriber will get an acknowledgement receipt.
