It could give anybody a heart attack. But Urmila Yadav of Kanpur’s Vikas Nagar survived to tell the tale.

A few days ago, she became one of the richest women to walk the earth when an amount of Rs 95,71,16,98,647 was credited to her State Bank of India (SBI) account, thanks to a strange procedure followed by the bank to get in touch with its customers.
Urmila, who works as a domestic help, had opened a savings account by depositing Rs 2000 with the SBI’s UPSIDC branch in Vikas Nagar as a part of the central government’s Jan Dhan Yojana. Two text messages from the bank made her sit up and gasp in disbelief.
While the first one said her account had been credited with Rs 9,99,999 the other showed that Rs 9.97 lakh had been deducted leaving a balance of Rs 2,000. She was obviously shocked as she had not made any such transaction.
“I was constantly asking myself as to how this Rs 10 lakh came and went,” she said.
But a bigger shock was awaiting her when she rushed to the bank with Lalta Prasad Tiwari, an account holder who helped her open hers with the bank. When her account was checked, there was a balance of Rs 95,71,16,98,647.14. Even the bank officials, who could not easily read or calculate the figure immediately, were stunned.
