The Indian government’s decision of demonetization has affected banks and its employees to a great extent as they are working for long hours daily in order to ease the situation, which is the result of note ban. As they are working under such high pressure, they are making mistakes because of which other people are suffering as well.
Just recently, bank account of a taxi driver from Punjab was credited with Rs. 9,806 crore; however, later we came to know that it was bank’s mistake which got rectified. And now, a tea vendor from Jaipur was picked by the officers of Income Tax department and interrogated for nearly 5 hours as Rs. 4.8 crore were deposited in his account.
Raj Kumar, the tea seller was accused by the IT officers of converting black money into white, while Kumar had no idea what they were talking about. Kumar who sells tea outside Udyog Bhawan, Jaipur, tried to convince the officers that he had no knowledge about this transaction.
As per a report published in India Today, Raj Kumar was then taken to the bank where it was found that the whole lot took place due to a human error.
Yes, that’s right! The chaiwala had deposited 48 notes of Rs. 1,000 in his account and an error was made while making the entry and extra zeros were added. Owing to this mistake, RajKumar was subject to an inquiry which took two days.
O P Tripathi, the manager at Bank of Baroda, says that this manual error is the result of work pressure that the bank employees are experiencing nowadays.
As of now, we can say only this much – “To err is human” but we sincerely hope that nobody else faces such a situation.
