full facts?

What work you were doing and how the Bank is concerned with it? If the work is illegal why the Bank not approached police and lodged a FIR.

Without knowing the actual position proper advise can not be given.

You say that you are doing some private work with punjab national bank branches from the last 4 years... If the said work is illegal why the Bank has taken 4 years to point out the facts.... As suggested by other experts please provide full details....

The work done by you was supposed to be done by the Credit Dept. of the branch... They cannot delegate this authority/work to outsiders... Did the Branch gave you any letter in writing for doing the work? Better to discuss and solve the matter with the Branch Manager..
Monesh Agrawal (Querist) 17 September 2013
no sir they did't gave any letter.. and i asked with branches but they can't help us bcz this matter is points out by banks higher authority.

CIBIL record can not be seen with out a member's password. Whether the Bank officials gave you their password for opening the record of CIBIL.

Even if the password was given Bank officials are at fault. CIBIL site will reveal through whose password the record was taken out.

Bank may recover the money irregularly credited in your account by debit to borrower's / customer's account as this type of work was not to be delegated to you.

You have always right to ask Bank through RTI, what action they have taken against their officials for their irregularity.

You have not made clear whether your account was being credited by raising direct debit to depositors accounts or you were receiving payments by banker's cheque from the PNB.

However, at first, your description reveals as if you were not awarded any formal contract for the job of credit checks by the bank and the work was probably being got done illegally by bank officils at their own without the permission of the authorities and against their own conduct rules, as Bank's employees.

Although that was not so serious to do a job asked by someone on payment, but withdrawing amount from depositors accounts and crediting your account, if done so, was a fraud being made by the bank's officials to favour you with illegal transfer of money out of depositors accounts. So, you were also treated as involved in the fraud, if your account was being credited by raising debit to depositors account. So, till the investigation is not completed and the bank officials are not cleared of the suspected fraud, your account would remain sealed.

A MATTER OF CAUTION FOR YOU: Presently, you seem to be worried simply with the blocking of your account, but if the transactions of direct debit/credit from depositors accounts to your account is involved, you may probably need to be ready to face some serious problem, if the Bank authorities prefer to lodge a complaint with police for that type of fraud.

So, better check, how the transactions were being made for credit in to your account, if not by banker's cheque.

Don't take lightly.
Shri Dhingraji had rightly advised you.

so
BE PREPARED.
BANK DO NOT CLAIM ILLEGAL ACT BY YOU UNNECESSARILY . IT CAN BE CRIMINAL TOO.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 22 September 2013
Fully agree with expert PS Dhingra ji and V R SHROFF ji. It is hoped Bank will recover the money illegally credited in your account and matter is over, but if Bank prefer to proceed otherwise also, you may be in trouble.
Monesh Agrawal (Querist) 25 September 2013
Sir, first bank charged the charges to customer's account and hold this money in suspense account after that they debit my account to my bill amount and rest amount transferred to bank income.
