Unidentified 36-Digit Credit Transaction Makes Unassuming Farmer the Wealthiest Individual, According to Bank...
Living Large in Hathras: In the heart of a rustic Uttar Pradesh village, Ajit's modest abode was stirred by excitement when his bank balance showed an extraordinary 36 digits.
On the 24th of April, Ajit's account was indebted for Rs 1,800, followed swiftly by another deduction of Rs 1,400 on the same day. The shock wave that spread through his village turned to worry when they saw his bank balance on the 25th—an unbelievable Rs 1,00,13,56,00,00,01,39,54,21,00,23,56,00,00,01,39,542.
Initially, Ajit's wife found joy in the eye-popping number, but it soon turned to fear as she feared they were now potential targets for fraudsters. Contacting the banking merchant, Ajit was told that the credit was a mere technical glitch rooted in a branch in Jammu and Kashmir. After the same balance persisted, he took his concerns to the police, asking them to submit an additional application to the cybercrime division.
Now, Ajit frets about potential fraud, as his account remains inaccessible.
A figure meant for the stars—literally beyond counting—Ajit's balance surpassed the net worth of the world's wealthiest man, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, estimated to be ₹2,84,17,69,27,10,400 by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index[2]. But it turned out to be just a 14-digit number in reality, an anomaly in the bank's system[1].
