Accountability
Grievances

Axis Bank operates a Grievance Redressal channel which can be accessed here. In its Human rights policy the bank states: "Additionally, any grievances related to violations of human rights can be reported on harish.iyer@axisbank.com."

This page evaluates Axis Bank's responses to instances of alleged human rights violations linked to its finance, raised by civil society organisations. It is not intended to be exhaustive, but covers selected impacts raised by BankTrack and other civil society partners since 2016. For the full scoring methodology, see here. For more information about BankTrack's evaluation of bank responses to human rights impacts, see the 2021 report "Actions speak louder: assessing bank responses to human rights violations".
