Balurghat (West Bengal): A school teacher in this town of South Dinajpur got the
shock of his life when he found his bank account showing a balance
of nearly Rs. 500 billion!
Parijat Saha, while making a usual online check of his State Bank
of India (SBI) account Sunday found it showing a transaction of
Rs.496 billion. Saha, though dumb struck on seeing the huge
amount, informed the bank authorities about the anomaly.
A SBI official said it was merely a false entry erroneously shown
because of some problem faced by the internet service provider
whose service Saha utilised that day.
"The amount was merely a transaction that was shown to have been
made from his (Saha) account. The amount was never credited to his
account. Such an occurrence is normal and usually happens because
of fault of the internet service provider," the bank's assistant
general manager Tapan Mitra told IANS.
Mitra also said the bank has the proper infrastructure to counter
such problems, adding that a probe has been initiated to identify
the service provider as well as to take appropriate action.
"The bank internet system has various layers of firewall security
to prevent such mistakes. That is why the amount was not credited
to his account, it merely appeared as a transaction and the
account balance was not affected," added Mitra.
