Greater Noida man shocked as late mother's bank account shows transfer of over Rs 1 trillion!
PTC Web Desk: In a bizarre incident from Greater Noida's Uchhi Dankaur village, a young man was left stunned after discovering that his deceased mother’s bank account reflected a credit of over Rs 1 trillion. The unexpected transaction has triggered investigations by the bank, the Income Tax Department, and the local police.
The matter came to light when Deepak Kumar, the son of late Gayatri Devi, visited Kotak Mahindra Bank to resolve a failed UPI (Unified Payments Interface) payment issue. According to Deepak, his mother passed away two months ago and he has been unemployed since then. He had continued using her UPI-linked account for digital transactions.
On Monday, while attempting a routine purchase, his payment repeatedly failed. Frustrated, he approached the bank to file a complaint. Upon checking the account details, bank staff were left in disbelief—the account reportedly showed a balance of Rs 10,01,35,60,00,00,0 0,00,00,01,00,23,56 ,00,00,00,00,299, an astronomically large amount far beyond any known financial transaction standards.
Immediately, the bank authorities froze the account and notified the Income Tax Department, which has since begun a probe into the suspicious transaction. While the exact figure appears to be a possible system error or an abnormal glitch, the authorities are treating the matter with utmost seriousness.
The Income Tax Department is currently investigating the source of the transaction to determine whether this is a result of a technical error, banking irregularity, or a potential case of money laundering.
Meanwhile, the local police have confirmed they have not received any formal communication from the bank or tax officials yet. Kotwali in-charge Surinder Singh stated, “If any such information is officially received, a full investigation will be conducted.”
