In a strange turn of events, a 20-year-old man from Noida , Uttar Pradesh, was stunned to find an astronomical sum—over ₹1 septillion trillion or 1 undecillion—credited to his Kotak Mahindra Bank savings account.The total amount in question is in 37 digits - Rs 10,01,35,60,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,23,56,00,00,00,00,299.A journalist, Sachin Gupta, tweeted this earlier today. According to the tweet, the 20-year-old Deepak got this amount though he said it is about 1 billion 13 lakh 56 thousand crore rupees."My math is a bit weak. The rest of you can do the multiplication and division. Currently, the Income Tax Department is investigating. The bank account has been frozen," read the tweet.As per a report of News24, the 20-year-old was operating the account which originally belonged to his mother, Gayatri Devi, who passed away two months ago. On the night of August 3, Deepak received a notification showing a credit of ₹1.13 lakh crore (₹1,13,56,000 crore). Confused and alarmed, he shared the message with his friends, asking them to count the zeros.The next morning, Deepak went to the bank to verify the transaction. Bank officials confirmed the mind-boggling balance but informed him that the account had been frozen due to the suspiciously large deposit. The matter was immediately flagged to the Income Tax Department, which has now launched a formal probe.As the news spread rapidly, Deepak was bombarded with calls from relatives, friends, and neighbors. Unable to handle the sudden attention, he switched off his phone.Authorities are now investigating whether the transaction was a technical error, a banking glitch , or a possible case of money laundering. Officials say the true source of the funds will be known only after a thorough investigation.Many expressed their disbelief. One wrote, "Not possible. It is just an error in the bank's software or a manual entry mistake."Another quipped that the 20-year-old is now richer than Ambani.One person even tried to count the amount, saying, "One hundred quintillion, one hundred thirty-five quadrillion, six hundred trillion, ten million, twenty-three thousand, five hundred sixty, and two hundred ninety-nine."

Trying to sell 786 series Rs 100 note, 25 paise coins online, Mumbai woman loses Rs 8 lakh

A 49-year-old woman from Mumbai allegedly lost Rs 8 lakh to a cyber scam promising high returns for trading vintage currency or coins in unique series last month. As per the woman's police complaint, on July 8, she saw an advertisement on a social media platform seeking vintage coins and notes in peculiar series. The woman claimed that she had a currency note in the 786 series and 25 paise coins, and messaged the number mentioned on the advertisement. The woman said she began communication with a person and sent photographs of the currency she had. The person on the other end allegedly told her that he would pay Rs 8 lakh for each of the Rs 100 notes and the 25 paise coins she had. She said she agreed, and the accused told her that first she would have to send some money to begin the process. Between July 12 and 14, citing various reasons from GST payment to late payment fee, the accused allegedly made the woman pay Rs 8.46 lakh and claimed that he would later return the amount to her. After making the payments and not seeing any credit, the woman, as per her complaint, tried to contact the accused using the mobile number she had. She said she found that the number had been switched off. She then attempted to reach the accused at three other numbers, but none of them responded, she claimed. After realising that she had been deceived, the woman, earlier this week, approached the Pydhonie police station to get a First Information Report (FIR) filed against the unknown accused. A police officer said this is a common cybercrime tactic, where the perpetrators use advertisements promising high returns on investments to lure victims. Why serial number 786 is considered special Currency notes that bear the serial number 786 are often regarded as valuable because of their significance in Islam. The number 786 is believed to represent the phrase 'Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim', which translates to 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful'. This connection makes the number to be perceived as lucky and auspicious.

Assam: ED raids against former IAS officer in DA case

Guwahati: The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday carried out searches at premises connected with retired IAS officer Sewali Devi Sharma in a disproportionate assets case, an official source said. The agency has raided at least eight premises connected with Sharma, a former executive chairman-cum-director of the Assam State Council of Educational Research and Training. The money laundering case stems from an FIR filed by the state police on the directions of the Assam CM's Special Vigilance Cell. Sharma was earlier chargesheeted by police for alleged possession of disproportionate assets worth Rs 5.7 crore. The former bureaucrat could not be contacted immediately for a comment on the ED action. Sharma, according to sources, served as the Executive Chairman-cum-Director of Open and Distance Learning Cell (ODL) of the SCERT and was responsible for the implementation of the National Council for Teacher Education's (NCTE) two-year Diploma in Elementary Education programme. The state government had earlier approved the creation of 59 institutions and the training of 27,897 teachers. Sharma is alleged to have opened 347 study centres and enrolled 1,06,828 trainees to "collect more funds." Sharma, the sources claimed, opened five bank accounts for the ODL Cell, where she was the "sole signatory," in "violation" of the Assam Financial Responsibility and Budget Management Act of 2005. Of the Rs 115 crore she received in fees from individuals, she allegedly spent more than Rs 105 crore without obtaining financial sanction from the state government, sources alleged. The expenditure was incurred for supplies and execution of works without following the rules and procedures, and payments were released without complete supply of materials, and no work was done, they claimed. These contracts, as per ED's probe, were given to entities owned or controlled by associates or family members (son-in-law, daughter) of Sharma as well as to a chartered accountant, Sarang More, who was the auditor of the ODL Cell. The contracts were awarded "without" advertisements or invitations for tenders, as stipulated by the government for each procurement of above Rs 5 lakh, sources alleged. Except for two parties, none had any experience to execute work orders awarded to them, and payments were made without the required receipts or verification of actual supply, the ED claimed.
