What is the PMC Scam?

The Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank scam was discovered in September 2019. It is a fraud that has led to a charge sheet of 12,000 pages on how 20,149 dummy fictitious bank accounts were allegedly created to dupe the bank of ₹6,670 crore and extend funds to bankrupt companies. The end result of this has been that restrictions were imposed on the bank from conducting normal business, and innocent common citizens with their money deposited in the bank for safekeeping were blocked from fully accessing their savings.
With 9 lakh hard-working Indians still fighting for what's theirs, the time for silence is over. The #JusticeForPMCVictims petition is #LIVE on Republic World here - https://t.co/Y9zlarecVl pic.twitter.com/YoTH8Z1boU

This petition is a fight for justice for PMC Victims because we believe that no Indian should be blocked from their hard-earned money and savings, no matter what the circumstances. This petition is to ensure that every PMC victim is handed back their OWN savings in its ENTIRETY; savings that they have been deprived of for almost 11 months. This petition is to ensure that the hard-working, tax-paying, lawful, dutiful middle class of the country are not made to suffer as the state government, the central government and the RBI pass the buck to each other. This petition is to ensure that every individual and institution involved in the PMC Scam is investigated in a time-bound manner so that justice is served in its entirety.
