A taxi driver from Punjab was in for a huge surprise on November 4 when an amount of Rs 98,05,95,12,231 was credited to his State Bank of Patiala (SBoP) account. According to the Hindustan Times, Balwinder Singh, the billionaire-for-day, was astounded by this strange transaction in his account. “I had opened the account under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY). While the bank manager did not come forth with any explanation about the entry, lead bank manager Sandeep Garg said that the entry was a manual error. “Instead of telling the account holder themselves, they did even attend to him when he visited the branch,” the official said.
