SBI debits Rs 19.9 lakh for late spouse’s loan, freezes salary account despite not part of the debt; High
Allahabad High Court has ordered SBI to refund Rs 19.9 lakh after the bank used a widows fixed deposit to recover her late husbands personal loan. The court also awarded Rs 1 lakh compensation, after finding that the woman was not a party to the loan and SBI had no legal basis to directly debit her account.
