In recent times, Indian banking sector is hit by a number of frauds. Two employees of Punjab National Bank colluded with a top diamond merchant and made away with $1.77 billion dollar or about INR 11,300 crores worth of money. It is now expected that the bank is likely to make good on these losses but where will this fresh money come in from?
RBI-the central bank of India on the other hand is choking the country on its high interest rates. The total sum of bad loans in the country are over $140 billion. It doesn’t seem to be affecting anyone but what if this causes another major market collapse. Are you not reminded of the 2008 crash yet?
India is on an economic slow down and all these numbers from the government remain are just a load of crap.
Maybe we’ll see a movie on this scam as the fraudsters sip on their margaritas in the bahamas perhaps. More the reason for the bank sector to power their systems on a blockchain and instead of having strict policies such as know-your-clients (KYC) they need to have KYE (know-your-employees) in place.
Income Tax Department infact has warned in a note seen by Reuters that Indian banks face a risk exposure of $3 billion from bad loans from guarantees given to Nirav Modi and his uncle-top diamond retailers in India. Nirav Modi and his family is untraceable and have run away with this huge sum.
People like Vijay Mallya are scot free even after years of scamming. India has failed to deport him back to face judicial enquiry from UK. He’s literally given the finger to his country of birth as he scammed away from here and continues to live a lavish lifestyle.
Failing Trust in Banks.
News like this has taken away my trust in our favored custodians of our money. If we don’t keep money in the bank, where else do we store our savings carefully? For more people banks are the default place to head to for saving their income.
The same banks however, prevent us to transact our money and invest in areas such as cryptocurrencies. They tend to force our hand into doing things as they want to. This world needs a revolution in terms of banking. These banking fraudsters have made away with billions of dollars of income earned by the poor across the world with no repercussions.
Even today, common people in far flung areas have no access to banking or credit but these businessmen in India run away with billions of dollars worth of Rupees. I’m no good at predictions but looking at the current situation the day isn’t far when we see another collapse in banking and stock markets come crashing down like it happened 10 years ago.
It’s a shame that the so called government refuses to acknowledge revolutionary changes in monetary systems propelled by cryptocurrencies and blockchain and continues to lead us into the abyss with their haphazard policies and arrogance.
You can read here about the biggest scam in Indian banking history. So much for Aadhar, KYC and a whole lot of other bullshit that we have to undergo to access basic banking needs while corporates continue taking us for a ride!

Keep money in the bank - Nirav Modi will take it.
Put money in cricket - Lalit Modi will take it.
Keep money at home Narendra Modi will take it.
What to do?
What do you feel about the latest scam? Is something similar happening in your country dear readers?

These kind of frauds happen everywhere.
Sometimes it is done by the employes of the bank and sometimes banks do that intentially to file the bankcrupcy or anything like that.
But the more we become digital and adopt technology, I am sure these kind of incidents will decrease.

Paper money is the biggest fraud in human history...You just had to fundamentally trust the institution printing the paper money that it could somehow back up the value...Now RBI have 2 options, either issue the order to print more money on cost of inflation or run another demonetization campaign again to bring the poor man's money into the banking system.

Ah the death throws of paper money. As an aside to India, Africa has one of the highest use cases of internet over phones (laptops being too expensive).
Any crypto that's stable enough to be paid in and has a good android wallet is going to see mass adoption. Most local guys I worked with on mine sites have big issues with theft after pay days.
Or pay premiums to have someone drive it into town for them. Most of them get robbed that way to when the courier never comes back to the village.
People say crypto will change banking forever. They have no idea when it comes to places like Africa. Its going to be huge.

Very true where fiat and the trust associated with it is going. It is clear that fiat currencies will be in trouble the closer it gets to the uncertainty that crypto has. I doubt it would go that far, but the downward trends could be evident and push more to go over the fence when they were sitting on the fence before. Great for Crypto. Incidents like these can help make Crypto adoption spread more quickly.

Your right @firepower.. the government is refusing to acknowledge revolutionary changes in monetary systems propelled by cryptocurrencies which are the safest ways to keep money. $3 billion from bad loans is a massive amount, this amount only can finance lots of budgets of countries here in Africa, this is so absurd. Not only India is hit by fraudsters but many more other countries like here in Uganda.. Where currently a case has been filed by Bank of Uganda against Crane Bank which is believed to have been involved in some bit of fraud like dodging taxes and fodging receipts of ghost accounts, this as a result led to the closure of one of the longest serving banks in the country. And now we saw lots of users' accounts affected in the process.
The government should find a way of working on cryptocurrency policies to regulate it better other than fight it. The poor person is the most affected when banks misfire with their system, all the savings earned through hard work are put to waste when banks are the victims of an attack.

This is so sad. Injustice and being sentimental is causing a lot of havoc and it is the order of the day. It is normal to lose trust in the banks that will charge you high interest rate, not even support your investment plans in cryptocurency, and still have looters go scot free. Where will the new injection come from? Is the money people save, safe? Why are they blind to the great future cryptocurency brings? Questions only them can answer albeit in deceit. We all hope they receive some level of sense.

I've been in the bank and heard about many frauds of different kinds. One thing is certain, by collusion of employees, no bank is secure.
In such circumstances, a common businessman who use bank's services for his businesses, he is compelled to transact through business. Though cryptocurrency is another decentralized platform, but it's very rare and I'm sure more than 90% wouldn't have any idea about it.
Accept or deny, we've to deal in this system until any revolution happen.

India is an experiment to take people’s rights to cash... slowly implementing a cashless society to know exactly how people are spending their money. If successful, many other countries will follow. Frauds in India are rampant.... the biggest crooks are the banks ... the governments are their accomplices, that’s the reason for non prosecution.

Yesterday morning I.e. sunday morning my dad was seeing the news about Nirav Modi.
Nirav Modi used to deal a life style like a royal king he spended around 100 crores in a party fews years ago in Jodhpur palace. And he and his uncle used to hire the popular celebs of bollywood as their brand ambassador. That was their business policy Priyanka chopra siddhart malhotra worked for Nirav Modi's brand .....He and his uncle made a huge loss of the indian economy no doubt

What a danger this time. It could bankrupt the bank and impact the loss of customer funds. Previously in Indonesia also had that incident during the monetary crisis of 1998. Banks such as robbed owners and customers who lose. Hopefully the Indian economy has no impact, because it can happen and the impact of market impacts can be felt in the region to Indonesia
