In a raid on an Axis Bank branch in Noida today (15 December), more than Rs 60 crore was found deposited in 20 fake accounts, reported the Times of India. These accounts were reportedly opened in the name of low-income workers and labourers.
This branch of Axis Bank in Noida came under the Income Tax department’s radar after a local jeweller deposited his income in the bank branch after selling gold worth Rs 600 crore.
Axis Bank branches in the National Capital Region have been raided before as well, and fake accounts discovered.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
