Hi Vikas, If you haven't already done so, please call the Corporation Bank's call centre and have your credit card blocked immediately. Regardless of whether the merchants have claimed the amount, your card has been used by someone, who still has your data and can use the card again for further transactions.
Once this has been done, check with the call centre about the complaints procedure they follow in order to report credit card fraud, and submit the required documents. Credit cards are normally insured, and once the dispute has been resolved, you will not be asked to pay the amount. While the dispute is being dealt with, the bank should make a temporary credit to your account in order to balance the books. My Citibank credit card was used fraudulently many years ago to purchase air tickets worth Rs.25,000 in Europe. This happened when I still lived in India. The bank immediately contacted me and blocked the card. Although it took them three months to investigate the fraud, they did not charge me anything. If the Corporation Bank refuses to do its part in investigating the complaint or applying card insurance, you should cancel your card and approach the consumer court for redressal.

Most of them appeared to have taken place on netflix.com and on some other malls based in the United States. All such transactions happened within a span of just 2 minutes. Upon registering a complaint by sending a detailed mail to the head office of Corporation Bank at Mangalore, they replied back that although the transactions have taken place, the money under those transactions have not yet been claimed by the merchants. If the money is not claimed by the merchants in the next 30 days, it would automatically be nullified. However, they said that they cannot raise any claim of chargeback unless the money has been claimed. Since there are lots of bankers on this list, I just would like to know the implications of those transactions that have taken place. My contention is that when I've already brought this to their notice, shouldn't it be the duty of the staff to initiate the actions on their part? Why are they waiting for the merchants first to claim the money and once the merchants claimed, what is going to be the end result of this? Thanks.
