A Delhi widow who depended on her family pension for survival has received relief from the Delhi High Court after years of deductions linked to a banking error. The court ordered State Bank of India (SBI) to return the money already recovered from her pension with 6% annual interest and stop any further deductions, observing that the woman was never responsible for the alleged excess payment, a TOI report stated.
Justice Sanjeev Narula passed the order while hearing a petition filed by Indra, whose monthly pension had suddenly shrunk after the bank claimed she had received extra money due to an internal mistake in pension records.
