The Scam-hit Punjab National Bank continues to claim that Team India skipper Virat Kohli continues to be their brand ambassador. They denied the reports that they have engaged audit firm Pricewater house Coopers to investigate the Rs 11,400 fraud. The state-owned lender committed it by diamond merchant Nirav Modi and his associates.

The bank also stated in their statement that no withdrawal limits had been issued on its customers and normal banking activities are going on in full flow.

“Mr. Virat Kohli is our brand ambassador,” the bank said, denying the repairs that Kohli is going to discontinue his association with PNB. The same is again totally false and incorrect,” the statement added.

PNB states that no withdrawal limits have been imposed on their customers

Reports have emerged that the bank has imposed a withdrawal limit of Rs 3,000 per customer. However, PNB said:

“It is absolutely incorrect, no such limit has been fixed by the bank and normal banking activities are going as usual. No restrictions on the withdrawals have been imposed by the bank,” it stated.

“The work in the branches is going on smoothly and the above transfers are in no way affecting the customer service in the Bank,” the statement read. It also said that the bank has already taken the required steps for the financial interest of the stakeholders. “Bank has already initiated prompt steps for protecting the financial interest of all the lenders/ stakeholders including the issuance of the advisory to lenders involved and to act swiftly to recover the dues,” it said further.

“In pursuant of Clean and Responsible Banking agenda of the government, bank has taken proactive steps to bring the culprits to the books and has initiated strong action against the entities and the staff involved,” PNB further said.
