82-year-old Bihar man finds Rs 759 crore in pension account, balance disappears minutes later
PATNA: An 82-year-old poet from Muzaffarpur got the shock of his life on Sunday when his bank balance showed nearly Rs 759 crore instead of his regular pension amount.
The elderly persons, Kameshwar Mishra had gone to a Common Service Centre to collect his old-age pension. His disabled son, who receives a disability pension, went with him. After withdrawing the pension, Mishra asked the CSC operator to check his account balance. The screen displayed Rs 759,69,51,951.
When they checked his son’s account too, it showed an equally massive figure. Together, the two accounts reflected more than Rs 1,500 crore.
Both Mishra and the CSC operator were left baffled by the numbers. The family believes it was a technical or banking system error.
“I don’t understand where this huge amount came from,” Mishra said. “I’ve told officials about it so they can check and fix the mistake.”
