According to K K Thakur, Chief Manager Inspection and Audit, CO: Bulandshahr-

1-It does not matter whatever amount you have deposited as the account is still in NPA category, so legal action can be taken as per bank norms.

2-Your account is NPA since 29-05-2019.

3-Then upon borrower request Competent (Circle Sastra) allowed operation in your Current account on 13-12-2022 under tagging arrangement @ 15% for Cash Credit Account which was valid for 6 months.

4-Competent Authority (PLP RAM) renewed your limit last year but due to unavailability of sufficient stock operation was not possible in CC account.

5-Bank has sympathy for you, but Bank only take action as per the norms only.

6-As last stock statement submitted by you is of only Rs. 704890. Hence the operation cannot be permitted.

An enquiry under Article 51 A of the constitution of India regarding corrupt dealings of Bank.

2-After O.T.S., you did the renewal temporarily and applicant submitted renewal application. According to rule, you had to pursue the procedure of law to make the loan N.P.A. but you have not followed but making mockery of provisions of SARFAESI Act 2002?

To curb the process of renewal is the part of cryptic and mysterious dealings of the corrupt staff of the Punjab National Bank

25/08/2023

To curb the process of renewal is the part of cryptic and mysterious dealings of the corrupt staff of the Punjab National Bank obvious from their incredible dealings in the matter.

Undoubtedly it is too much surprising that the same stock was sufficient stock in the year 2017 when the cash credit loan was sanctioned by the bank staff and now when the renewal application was submitted then this stock has been insufficient stock. This implies that for the sufficient stock, sympathy of the bank staff is must and to garner their sympathy everyone knows that what the applicant should do? No doubt the applicant is a credible customer of the bank and no loss to the bank because of the applicant but the bank staff because of corruption harassing a vulnerable lady.

This is a humble request of the widow of an army personnel to order an enquiry into the matter of deep-rooted corruption so that rights of a woman may be safeguarded, and her exploitation may stop.

The staff of the bank search deliberate-cunning tricks to harass a woman because of corruption.

1-Can you auction the house of the applicant if there may be balance of Rs.50 in C.C. Account of the applicant by misusing provisions of SARFAESI Act 2002?

Please provide reasonable reply as Right to reason is the indispensable part of the sound administrative system.

2-Please provide the name and designation of the staff of the bank who verified the stock in the year to cycle 2017 during the sanction of the loan and in the year 2022 during the renewal of the loan.

3-Provide the provision of SARFAESI Act 2002 which allows auction notice in 2019 then renewal of C.C. Account and then one more auction notice in 2023 without due proceedings of law.

4-Provide the provision of SARFAESI Act 2002 which allows chief manager to serve multiple arbitrary notices to borrower by chief manager as done in this case.

Transparency and accountability is must in the dealings of the bank so chief manager of the bank may provide
