Customers of Punjab National Bank (PNB) in Greater Noida are worried after reporting that large amounts of money have gone missing from their accounts. The total amount involved is said to be around ₹35 crore.
The case came to light at a PNB branch in the Aichhar area. Some customers say their savings and fixed deposits were affected. They also claim they received no messages and gave no permission for the money to be moved.
Customers Report Missing Savings
Haneef Khan said his account had around ₹39 lakh, but the money was no longer showing in his balance.
Farmer Vijendra Singh also reported a big change. He said his account balance had dropped from around ₹87–88 lakh to just ₹1 lakh.
Land Compensation Money Also Affected
Some affected customers had received money for land taken for development projects.
A 60-year-old woman named Santosh reportedly received ₹1.29 crore for land acquired for the Jewar Airport project. A report by The Indian Express said her family later found that around ₹1.18 crore was missing.
Another customer, Zakir, said ₹9.5 lakh had disappeared from his account. He said he learned about the problem after visiting the bank.
