NOIDA (UP):
Twenty fake accounts with deposits amounting to as much as Rs 60 crores were uncovered during an I-T department raid at an Axis Bank branch in Noida.
Sources said systematic deposits were made into these accounts that had been opened in the names of low-income workers and labourers.
The accounts came to the notice of the I-T department when a jeweller in Noida sold gold worth Rs 600 crores after the November 8 demonetisation announcement, and deposited the money he got at the Noida branch.
The raid was still going on as of 12:30 pm. A large number of account holders had gathered outside the bank. A police team is also deployed outside the Axis ban branch.
Noida: Visuals of Axis bank in Noida sec 51 where Income Tax Dept raided & found accounts of 20 fake companies with over Rs 60 Cr in them.
This is not the first time fake accounts have been found at an Axis Bank branch in the National Capital Region.
A few days ago, more than Rs 100 crores were found in 44 suspect accounts during a raid at a branch in the Chandni Chowk area of Delhi. The bank suspended 16 employees following action by the Enforcem
ent Directorate (ED) that led to arrest of two bank managers.
The government had already asked Axis Bank to "set its house in order" after a series of irregularities linked to the exchange of old notes were detected at the country's third-biggest private lender.
