Chandigarh, October 31
MC Commissioner Anindita Mitra has filed a complaint with the Banking Ombudsman, Reserve Bank of India, Sector 17, against the branch manager, Bank of Baroda, Sector 37.
Mitra urged the RBI to direct the branch manager to credit Rs 28.51 lakh in the saving bank account of the civic body.
According to the complaint, the Medical Officer of Health, MC, had opened a saving bank account in Bank of Baroda, Sector 37 branch, for realisation of cow fee receipts.
The bank also issued cheque book to the Medical Officer. On October 18, the branch manager informed the civic body telephonically that a cheque of Rs28.51 lakh, dated October 11, had been paid to Kartikya Fish Plant-Wani. However, the cheque was not issued by the accounts branch of the corporation.
The matter was taken up with the branch manager for reversal of Rs28.51 lakh paid to Kartikya Fish Plant-Wani, but the bank has not credited the amount in the account of the MC till date. — TNS
