Gujarat carpenter finds Rs 59 cr in account

We contacted the Gujarat Circle Head of the PNB and requested him not to freeze Kishors account. He has a balance of Rs 2.50 lakh in it. We requested the bank to keep this amount and remove the extra money, said GCCI vice-president Sameer Patel,adding that the bank soon agreed to their suggestion.

The GCCI said the PNB has since withdrawn the amount from Kishors account and settled the matter.

The incident occurred at Vastrapur branch of Punjab National Bank. V P Goswami,Senior Manager Marketing,PNB,said,The amount was not credited in his account. It was a technical mistake where we suspect that the account number that was to be fed in the banks database got fed as amount in the persons account. When we checked his account statement,there was no credit of the sum. It only flashed in his account erroneously. We have taken up the matter with the head office and are investigating it further.
