So, I had some US Dollars left with me after my trip abroad. I requested BookmyForex to convert the money and transfer it in my account. I requested them on October 8,2014 and until October 21,2014 15:00 PM, i've heard it multiple times that i'll get the money tomorrow. I also came to know that they have some channel partners who perform these for you on behalf of BookMyForex. Some 'Centrum' is taking care of this. So, with the multiple parties, chances of lapses increase naturally. I would advise everyone to be assured of the services offered by this company and be careful while dealing. Following are excerpts of my conversation with them:-
Hi Aditya,
I havent received the money yet. Could you please check?

Yes sir i have emailed them for a detailed status on the card encashment.
The card encashment process takes a few days the data is first sent to the bank they give us clearance and then permission to encash the card.
I will give you an update in the next hour.

I never asked for a cheque. It was supposed to be credited online in my account. Does that mean that you want more time for cheque clearance now?
