The complaint was submitted on Monday by the bank manager. Later, Ningwal reportedly turned himself in to bank personnel and was brought to the police station.

A decrease in provisions before tax of about 22% to Rs 3,103 crore, which reflected ongoing improvements in asset quality and lower credit costs, bolstered the increase in profitability.

The domestic NIM remained comparatively stronger at around 2.78% as on March 31, 2026. Management indicated that it intends to support margins through higher-yielding RAM and MCLR-linked advances, increased mid-corporate lending and reduction in the cost of deposits.

ROA improved to 1.01% from 0.82% in Q1FY26, while the cost-to-income ratio improved significantly to 46.33% from 51.31%. Credit cost also moderated to 0.15% from 0.17%.

CASA moderated to 37.64% in FY26 from 40.29%, and further to 36.68% in Q1FY27, despite absolute CASA rising to Rs 3,00,765 crore from Rs 2,80,316 crore, reflecting changing customer savings preferences and higher reliance on Rs 3-25 crore and selective bulk deposits to support credit growth. Nevertheless, funding costs improved, with cost of deposits declining to 4.69% from 4.85% and cost of funds to 4.45% from 4.66% in Q1FY27, aided by deposit optimisation.

Bank of India(BOI) Faces ₹50,000 Penalty for Issuing Recovery Notice to a Deceased Person

After the bank issued a recovery notice in the name of a guarantor who had passed away two years prior despite being aware of his passing, the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Patna, ruled that Bank of India's debt recovery procedures were unlawful. The panel dismissed the recovery suit and fined the bank ₹50,000 for its carelessness.

The Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) in Patna has heard a case alleging negligence on the part of the Bank of India. The tribunal determined that the bank had initiated loan collection procedures by sending out a notification in the name of a deceased person two years prior. The tribunal ruled that the bank's actions were unlawful, halted the recovery process, and fined the bank ₹50,000.

The case is related to Baba Someshwar Automobiles and the Bank of India. According to reports, Shambhu Prasad Singh and Abhishek Singh took a Cash Credit (CC) loan of ₹60 lakh from the Motijheel branch of Bank of India between 2017 and 2019. In 2022, the bank classified the loan account as a Non-Performing Asset (NPA).

After declaring the account as an NPA, the bank issued a recovery notice in September 2022 in the name of the property guarantor, Satyanarayan Singh. However, Satyanarayan Singh had passed away on October 26, 2020, nearly two years before the notice was issued.

His son, Shambhu Prasad Singh, had already informed the bank in writing about his father’s death. Despite receiving this information, the bank continued the recovery proceedings against the deceased guarantor.

In November 2022, Shambhu Prasad Singh filed a petition before the Debt Recovery Tribunal in Patna. He argued that the bank had wrongly declared the loan account as an NPA and had also made errors in calculating the outstanding loan amount.

After hearing both sides, the tribunal ruled that the bank’s recovery proceedings were illegal. It cancelled the recovery action and directed the bank to pay a fine of ₹50,000 for its negligence.

Bank of India(BOI) Branch Hit by Explosion During Alleged Robbery Attempt

Bank of India(BOI) branch on Parasia Road in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, was the scene of a significant heist attempt. After cutting the shutter, the accused entered the bank while it was closed and attempted to break into the lockers. But the cops arrived on the scene in time to put an end to the robbery. However, the events that followed were even more horrific and deadly.

Superintendent of Police Ajay Pandey claims that at approximately 11:30 a.m., the police were notified that the Bank of India branch's shutter had been broken. Police had to go through two shutters in order to reach the first-floor bank branch.

When police tried to enter the bank, the accused lit a rope bomb (string bomb) filled with fuel. Panic resulted from the bomb's explosion. The accused wanted to frighten the policemen and flee the bank, according to the police.

Sub-Inspector Narayan Baghel pursued the accused in spite of the explosion. The accused used a sharp instrument that resembled a dagger to assault him during the pursuit. SI Narayan Baghel sustained a finger injury. He caught the accused in spite of his injuries. Soon later, other police officers arrived at the scene, and the accused was arrested.

The forensic team discovered that the accused had set fire to the bank's file department during the investigation. Additionally, he attempted to break into a locker, but the police arrived before he could take any money or goods. Despite reaching the lockers and trunks, the accused was unable to unlock them.

According to police, the bank was not manned by a security guard at the time of the event. The accused entered the bank by taking advantage of the lack of security. However, because the police arrived in time, no money or valuables were taken.

Initially, police suspected that two people were involved in the robbery. However, CCTV footage showed that only one person had entered the bank. Police searched the entire bank premises but did not find any other suspect. The arrested accused is being questioned to find out whether he had any accomplices. Further action will be taken based on the investigation.

London High Court rules in Favour of Bank of India(BOI), orders Nirav Modi to pay over Rs.100 crore

The London High Court has ruled against Fugitive diamond trader Nirav Modi. The London High Court has ruled in favour of Bank of India in a long-running loan recovery case. The court held Nirav Modi liable to pay more than $10.7 million, which is over Rs 100 crore at current exchange rates.

What is the case about?

The dispute is related to a loan given by Bank of India to Firestar Diamond FZE, a Dubai-based company linked to Nirav Modi. The bank argued that Modi had personally guaranteed the loan and was therefore responsible for repaying the outstanding amount.

In the UK courts, Modi contested the assertion. He personally challenged the case in front of the London court earlier this year.

Nonetheless, the High Court decided in Bank of India's favor, concluding that the bank's claim was legitimate and enforceable. The decision permits the bank to pursue with recovery through UK legal processes.

This decision adds to a series of legal setbacks for Nirav Modi in Britain.

In March 2026, the London High Court rejected his attempt to reopen proceedings related to his extradition to India. The decision supported earlier rulings that approved his extradition.

Modi has been in custody in the UK since his arrest in London in March 2019. British courts have rejected several of his bail applications over the years.

Nirav Modi PNB Fraud Case

The Nirav Modi–PNB fraud case is one of the biggest banking scams in India. The fraud came to light in 2018 when Punjab National Bank (PNB) found that businessman Nirav Modi and his companies had obtained loans from overseas banks using fake Letters of Undertaking (LoUs).

Some bank employees assisted in issuing these letters of intent without adhering to the correct protocols or entering the transactions into the bank's database. Banks lost almost ₹13,000 crore as a result. Numerous residences and assets connected to Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi were seized once the scam was discovered, prompting investigations by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate.

Nirav Modi was arrested in the UK in 2019 after leaving India before the fraud was discovered. India is still working to extradite him and bring him back. Stricter regulations on foreign trade financing transactions were among the significant banking sector improvements brought about by the case.

Bank of India(BOI) branch in Uttar Pradesh is missing gold

Following the disappearance of gold valued at crores from a bank locker in Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, three persons were arrested on Thursday. The Bank of India has reported the event.

Customers of the bank pledged this gold as security for the gold loan they had obtained from the bank. 96 packets containing pledged gold were discovered missing from the bank's Bharaul branch locker, according to officials. When a client comes to the bank for a gold loan, he gives the bank his gold, which is then securely stored in a vault. Two Bank employees still have the keys to this vault.

Aditya Pratap Singh, the chief manager of the bank's Agra regional office, filed a formal complaint against three workers, including the branch manager at the time, at the Araon police station on Wednesday night.

After investigating in the matter, it was found that bank staff member and key custodian Dilip Kumar, a resident of Basgaon village in Etawah district, had been absent without information since May 27.

Suspicion arose after the bank failed to contact him. Following this, senior security manager Ankit and senior manager (security) of the Ghiror branch, Sushil Kumar, were sent to the Bharaul branch on June 15.

Police said a duplicate key was arranged and the locker was opened in the presence of the bank’s panel advocate Shiv Kumar Sharma with video recording. Officials found that 96 gold loan packets were missing from the locker.

Following this, an FIR has been registered against former branch manager Sandeep Yadav, staff officer Dilip Kumar and credit officer/staff officer Naresh Kumar. More details will be released soon.

With RBI’s repo rate stance and softening inflation, several banks are selectively hiking FD rates to attract longer-term deposits. Bank of India’s latest revision makes its 2-3 year deposits quite competitive, especially for senior citizens who can now earn up to 7.60% on longer tenures.

Best For:

• Retirees looking for stable monthly/quarterly income

• Conservative investors seeking safety with higher returns

• Those planning to park funds for 1-3 years

Retail depositors are advised to compare rates across banks before booking, as small differences in rates can significantly impact returns on large deposits.
