a state Bank of India The branch in Haliyal, Karnataka will have to pay a fine of Rs 85,177 for dishonoring a check because they failed to recognize a check properly. Kannada points on it.

Vadirajacharya Inamdar released sbi check 6,000 for Hubli Electricity Supply Company Limited (HESCOM) towards your electricity bill on September 3, 2020. HESCOM has an account Canara Bank and so the check was sent to State Bank Of India Branch for withdrawal.

The SBI branch mistakenly identified the Kannada numeral nine as six and hence, rejected the cheque. Number 9 denotes the month of September, but the bank read it as June.

Inamdar, an English lecturer at the Government PU College, Hubli, approached the consumer forum with his complaint. The Dharwad District Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum found SBI deficient in its service and imposed a fine.
