Dear Client, no, do not share confidential settlement letter with your relatives without consent, because that is a serious matter and a clear violation of RBI’s Fair Practices Code. Also, it conflicts with your privacy rights under the Information Technology Act, 2000. You should file a formal complaint with the RBI Banking Ombudsman, under the Integrated Ombudsman Scheme 2021. Alongside that, consider lodging a police complaint under Section 316 BNS (criminal breach of trust). If you want, you can contact us again at Prime Legal.

If an agent has shared a settlement letter with your relatives without your consent, it may amount to breach of confidentiality, defamation, or misuse of personal information depending on facts. You should immediately issue a legal notice to the agent, demand cessation, and preserve evidence. You may also file a civil suit and a complaint for privacy violation and harassment.
