There are more than Rs 10,000 crore deposited in crores of bank accounts in Punjab, but there is no transaction in these accounts. It seems as if Punjabis have forgotten crores of rupees.
According to a report, there has been no transaction in 2.01 crore bank accounts in Punjab for the last 2 years. According to a report, according to the Reserve Bank, bank accounts in which there is no transaction for 2 consecutive years are declared In Active or In Operative. Under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, there are currently 90.97 lakh bank accounts in Punjab, in which Rs 301.45 crore is deposited.
Similarly, State Bank of India has Rs 1.42 crore in savings accounts. After this, Punjab National Bank has 1.31 crore savings accounts. Out of these, 59 lakh bank accounts have not seen any transaction for 2 years and Rs 3323.85 crore is deposited in such bank accounts. According to bank officials, there is no transaction from the accounts of such account holders who go abroad or whose children go abroad after opening the account. Apart from retired employees, this also happens in cases of death.
