How to use social media for mutual fund grievance escalation

From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated . Reading time ~3 min.

Social media is a supplementary grievance channel that creates public accountability pressure on AMCs. Use after formal channels (AMC complaint, SCORES) prove ineffective. Major AMCs have dedicated social customer service; visibility often accelerates resolution.
