Story : Be careful
In 1994, Kamal was working with a company in Mumbai. His company’s official bank account was with a Public Sector Bank and so he also opened his personal account there.
As a habit he used to send his office boy for banking transactions, cheques deposit, cash withdrawals, bringing cheque book, Passbook entries etc.
Kamal used to update his passbook on monthly basis. One fine day he noticed three entries of withdrawals in his passbooks albeit very small amounts Rs 100, Rs 100 and Rs 150 on different dates.
Kamal had never withdrawn such small amount from the bank and so he scratched his head and straight went to the bank.
The clerk argued that the money was withdrawn as per cheque issued by him only. The clerk was not ready to show the voucher as it was time consuming. But Kamal insisted and finally on intervention of Manager the vouchers were shown. It was a great surprise for all three of them that on forged signatuture the money was withdrawn. The clerk told him that he didn’t verify the signature because the office boy was regular one and amount withdrawn was negligible. At the request of the Manager and his personal relationship with the bank, Kamal didn’t pursue the matter with the RBI.
It was revealed that the office boy used to take out blank cheque leaves. Kamal never thought this faithful boy could do like this.
Anyway the boy was punished appropriately.
Moral : Be careful. सावधानी हटीं, दुर्घटना घटी
