Imagine you’re one of the thousands of people who have scrounged and saved, every rupee, to make a nice little nest egg. For a rainy day or a special occasion like their child’s marriage.
One fine day your bank tells you you can’t touch the money you’ve worked so hard for. And you can do little to nothing about it.
If you’re a customer with Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative or PMC Bank, you don’t have to imagine any of this. Because this is all a reality for them now.

Why? Well because, as of this week, the RBI told PMC bank that it shouldn’t transact or do business for six months at least.
