Departmental enquiry

anon (Querist) 30 June 2015 This query is : Resolved
I joined an old generation pvt sector bank in 2011 as a P.O. While in probation i was transferred to a new branch as second-line officer i.e someone just below the branch head.Eventually i got confirmed into the services of the bank in 2013.In 2015 it has come to light that the branch head has perpetrated a fraud using my id and password which he took from me under the pretext of authorizing transactions. I reposed my faith in him as he was my immediate senior.Now the bank has put him and me under suspension,and lodged an FIR against him.It is mentioned in the FIR that he has miused my trust and faith.

In the suspension order I have been accused of sharing my password and negligence.

My query is can the police act against me?What kind of punishment can i expect when the departmental proceedings conclude?

I am a very young person and do not have a great deal of monetary resources to bank on. Should the worst happen on both fronts i.e i get dismissed and booked by the police as well would I still be eligible for employment at a proper organisation?

Your query is quite premature, as the case seems to be at the very preliminary stage of investigation, as per your description, as all depends upon the outcome of the investigation.

So far as suspension is concerned that is not treated as punishment, as per the discipline and appeal rules of any Govt./banking institution.

So, nothing can be predicted at this stage till the investigation is completed individually by the bank authorities and police and charge sheet is actually served to you by the bank or filed by the police in the court of law.

You have shared your password, fraud happened. You are directly involved in the fraud due to your Id. Bank may dismiss you for not observing safety measures.

If the Manager pleads innocent during investigations, police may arrest you also.
