Mysuru: It was big day for a humble flower seller of Nanjangud taluk when she went to her bank and took out her statement. Her heart skipped a beat to know that Rs 5.81 cr was transferred to her account!
Neela had spent her life selling flowers in Hullahalli area to make her both ends meet and she never expected any miracles to happen in her life. It was only recently that Neela opened a bank account under the Jan Dhan Yojna at Hulahalli Corporation Bank and used the account to put in small savings.
Recently she had been to the bank and inquired about personal loans that she could avail. Neela was in dire need of money. Even as Neela was scouting out options for her loan, she visited the bank again the other day and her pass book update showed that nothing less than Rs 5.81 cr has been credited to her account.
As the news leaked, people started floating their own stories. While some said that black money has been diverted into Neela’s account, a petrified Neela rushed to the bank to probe.
It was then that Neela discovered no money has been transferred to her account, but it was only due to technical problem that the pass book had a wrong entry.
After demonetisation news of Jan Dhan accounts being misused to divert black money has been making rounds.
