The Haryana Right to Service (RTS) Commission has imposed a fine of ₹5,000 on a Punjab National Bank (PNB) branch manager for allegedly failing to disburse a loan within the stipulated time frame. This action was taken in response to a case related to beneficiaries of the Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana (MMAPUY). The Commission, chaired by chief commissioner TC Gupta, took suo motu cognizance of the matter.
Fine Deduction and Treasury Deposit
To ensure accountability, the RTS Commission has ordered the deduction of the fine from the branch manager’s April salary. The deducted amount will then be deposited in the state treasury. The Commission has further directed that the challan receipt of the deducted amount be submitted within 30 days.
Addressing Delayed Loan Disbursement
During a meeting of the State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC) and Deputy General Managers (DGMs) from several banks, it was brought to the attention of the Haryana RTS Commission that there were numerous instances of loans not being disbursed on time. In some cases, loans were sanctioned but not disbursed even after purchase.
In response to these findings, the Commission decided to investigate 100 cases characterized by significant delays in loan disbursement and take appropriate action. This decision aims to serve as a deterrent to bank officials who exhibit negligence in their duties.
Overall, the Haryana RTS Commission is taking proactive measures to ensure the timely disbursement of loans and hold accountable those responsible for any delays.
