The accounts managed inflows from asset sales and equity issuances and routed repayments to creditors as per the scheme.Objections to the scheme were initially raised by ICICI Bank, SRS Private Investment Powai and Central GST & Central Excise Department.

SBI directed to compensate customer for ‘deficiency in service'
A district consumer commission directed the State Bank of India's to pay compensation to a customer for failing to notify him about the creation of an overdraft account linked to a disputed debit card transaction. The customer had claimed that this had impacted his CIBIL score. The Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Karimnagar, was dealing with a a complaint filed one Gaddam Shivaramakrishna, 27, who claimed that the bank had created a ₹1,200 overdraft account in his name without his consent. Later a technical error related to a merchant transaction in 2019 took place which led to the escalation of the issue. Despite clearing dues, his CIBIL report reflected that he had an active loan. This, he said, affected him negatively. For their part, the SBI admitted to a merchant transaction of ₹1,200 in April 2019 that was reversed. This led to the bank opening an overdraft account for the purpose of adjustment. They contended that the complainant was informed orally and through text message. Later, the account was closed after full repayment. The bank also submitted a CIBIL report that indicated the status of the loan was updated. The Commission found that the creation of the overdraft account was not wrong. They cited RBI guidelines that permit such a move in cases of failed ATM transactions. However, it held the bank had not placed on record concrete evidence of the customer being informed about the account's creation. This, the Commission concluded , amounted deficiency in service.

Four held in ₹3 crore trade investment scam in Hyderabad
Four persons were arrested by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) for their involvement in a fraudulent trade investment scheme, in which a Hyderabad-based man was duped into transferring ₹3 crore. The accused were identified as Srinivas Manubothula (45), Syed Yousuf (45), Chekka Yeshaya alias Shekar (54) and Mohammed Jaber Ahmed (42). One of them was a bank account holder, while the other three acted as agents in facilitating the fraud. The case was booked following a complaint on June 28 by a resident of North Lallaguda, who alleged that he was added to a WhatsApp group called 'SMC Global Securities', purportedly run by a woman named Anu Prita Daga and Ajay Garg, presented as the CEO of SMC Global Securities Ltd, New Delhi. The complainant was lured into joining an investment scheme through a web link sent by Daga. Claiming that SEBI-approved cash management accounts were used, she promised that funds transferred by investors would be securely credited and could be withdrawn at any time. Encouraged to invest in an IPO for a fictitious firm named 'Influx Health Tech Ltd', the victim was told that he had been allocated shares worth ₹49 crore. After he protested, stating he did not authorise such an amount, the fraudsters negotiated a revised payment of ₹3 crore. The funds were transferred to 16 bank accounts provided by Daga, including one in Kerala where ₹77 lakh was deposited. Investigations revealed that ₹8 lakh from the Kerala account was later transferred to the bank account of Srinivas Manubothula, a software consultant. Manubothula, who ran a drone software firm under the name 'Drones Spray', had opened a current account with Axis Bank. Facing financial distress, he agreed to provide this account for use in cyber frauds, for a commission. His associates, including Jaber Ahmed and Syed Yousuf, facilitated the scam by transporting the SIM card linked to the bank account to Mumbai, where other fraudsters managed the transfers. Manubothula received ₹2 lakh for allowing the use of his account, which saw a total inflow of ₹4.3 crore, later redistributed to various accounts via net banking. The police said that as many as 46 NCRP (National Cybercrime Reporting Portal) complaints have been filed against the same bank account from across India. The TGCSB has issued a public advisory warning citizens not to provide their bank accounts for use by others under any circumstance. It also urged people to stay vigilant against fraudulent investment schemes and to report any suspicious activity via the 1930 helpline or

SBI to hire consultant for 10-year HR strategy on digital and talent growth
A generational shift in employees, along with their increasing expectations and the rapid rise of digital banking, is prompting the State Bank of India (SBI) to reassess its Human Resource (HR) management practices and build a "future-ready" organisation with a rich talent pool. India's largest lender plans to engage a management consultant to develop both a 5-year and 10-year HR strategy. The consultant will be tasked with advising on how to align the state-backed lender's HR policies and processes with its overall performance goals, as well as benchmarking these against industry best practices. According to a document soliciting the Request for Expression of Interest, the mandate for the management consultant includes reviewing SBI's current HR strategy, operating model, and technology landscape. The indicative timeline for completing the project is 18 months. As expectations grow for more inclusive, agile, and purpose-driven workplaces, there is a need to realign SBI's HR strategy. The goal is to create enhanced value through the Employee Life Cycle Management (ELCM) framework, which focuses on every stage of employee engagement—from talent attraction to post-retirement transition. 'At the bank, the aim has always been to introduce and promote policies that ensure employee satisfaction and enhanced productivity,' the company added. A senior SBI executive noted that, over the past decade, expectations have changed for individuals joining at entry levels, whether in clerical roles or as probationary officers. These new hires view their careers at the bank as offering more immediate opportunities rather than being a long-term career path. As a result, preparing career development plans has gained significance. There is also heightened competition in every banking segment—retail, industrial, and agricultural lending. The growing emphasis on digital and information technology has made it essential to impart new skills, while re-skilling existing staff has become crucial. The bank is hiring more professionals with domain-specific skills and experience, particularly in risk management and digital and cyber management. Many of these new hires come in at middle and senior levels, requiring special attention to their integration with the bank's systems, organisation, and ethos, according to an SBI executive. For SBI, which employs nearly 2.36 lakh people and has around three lakh pensioners and family pensioners, ELCM is critical for ensuring smooth HR operations across all stages—from hiring to retirement. 'It (HR Policy) is vital for operational success and employee satisfaction and offers several key benefits that contribute to the overall success of the organisation,' the lender said. The management consultant will identify skill gaps and assess capabilities through skill diagnostics, reviewing the existing talent management strategy, and evaluating the adequacy of processes and technology for future readiness. The transformation plan also includes a revamp and digitisation of recruitment processes. The consultancy will define digital and AI-enabled talent acquisition models—from screening to onboarding—by diagnosing existing processes. It will also benchmark talent acquisition and AI practices across peers to identify gaps and leverage points, SBI said.
