Now in a fresh embargo on August 28, the RBI has restricted withdrawals to customers to a one time amount of only Rs. 1,000 up to February 2019. If the depositors have liabilities towards the bank as a borrower or surety then this will first have to be cleared before the withdrawal of Rs. 1,000 is allowed. According to the directions of the RBI they are allowed to renew fixed deposits and accept loan recovery payments. They are also allowed to incur expenditures met by the bank in respect to salaries of employment, rent/rates and taxes, electricity bills, printing, stationery, postage, legal expenses, court fees, payment of fees to lawyers not exceeding Rs.5,000. The General Manager of the Bank, Shailendra Sawant informed that the bank had nine properties which were owned solely and was valued at Rs. 80 crores. The President of the Goa Urban Co-operative Bank Employees Union, Subhash Naik George is of the opinion that employees should be prepared to come on the streets if there is no immediate solution to the problem. “It is surprising that although the bank has credited the salary of the employees they are unable to withdraw the same which is totally unacceptable. As the Ganesh festival is fast approaching we hope that the management takes immediate decision on the same. The employees are suffering as well as the customers as they are not able to withdraw their hard earned money from the bank,” added Suhash.
