A 67-year-old Latur resident returned Rs 1.01 lakh
that was accidentally credited into his postal savings account, said an
official.
He identified the honest senior citizen as Shrikant
Jagannathrao Joshi, who retired from the State PWD’s office in Solapur nearly a
decade ago.
“On completion of the five-year tenure of his deposit
at the post office in Gandhi Chowk here, he withdrew the money and received Rs
2,64,777 instead of the correct amount of Rs 1,63,777,” the official said.
“Joshi promptly called up his post office agent and
returned the excess amount, which was greatly appreciated by the staff here,”
the official added.
