Bihar Man, 82, Finds ₹759 Crore in Bank During Pension Withdraw

Mishra said he could not understand how such a large sum appeared. He urged bank officials and authorities to examine the matter and correct any mistake. The exact cause has not been determined. Preliminary indications point to a possible technical glitch. No official clarification has been issued as of Tuesday.

The incident follows a separate case in Odisha earlier this year. A man exhumed his deceased sister's remains to prove her death to bank officials who had refused to release her savings without her in person. Jeetu Munda, 50, dug up the grave of his sister Kalra Munda after multiple failed attempts to withdraw ₹20,000 from her account at Odisha Grameen Bank's Maliposi branch.

Mishra's case renews attention on banking infrastructure in rural India, where glitches and procedural hurdles can disrupt access to savings and social security payments. The bank involved has not commented. Mishra said he raised the issue publicly so that officials could verify the balances and rectify any error.
