The government, in a statement said, the circular came after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the CAG’s recorded their observations over the government’s deposits in the two banks. “This action was taken in response to the alleged fraud in the bank branches, which resulted in the non-repayment of fixed deposits made by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) and the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB). Despite prolonged correspondence and meetings, these issues remained unresolved since 2012-13. On August 16, 2024, both banks submitted written representations to the government, requesting a 15-day period to resolve the matter.

The government is committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in all its dealings. We will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate action to protect the interests of all stakeholders.”
