₹1,00,13,56,00,00,01,39... What?! UP Man Shocked by 36-Digit Bank Balance, Bank Blames Technical Glitch

Hathras(The Uttam Hindu): In a baffling banking incident, a man from Hathras district in Uttar Pradesh was left stunned after discovering an astronomical amount — over ₹1.00 quintillion — suddenly appeared in his bank account. The 36-digit figure, ₹1,00,13,56,00,00,01,39,54,21,00,23,56,00,00,01,39,542, far exceeds the net worth of the world’s richest individuals.

Ajit, the account holder, noticed the error on April 25, just a day after two small transactions of ₹1,800 and ₹1,400 were processed. What initially seemed like a dream come true quickly turned into a nightmare, as Ajit and his wife feared they might be caught in the middle of a cyber fraud. When Ajit contacted bank officials, he was informed that the balance was the result of a technical glitch linked to a branch in Jammu and Kashmir. However, with no immediate correction made, he reported the matter to local authorities and was advised to file a cybercrime complaint.

Ajit’s account has since been frozen as investigations continue. While the surreal sum isn’t real, it dwarfs the combined fortunes of the world's wealthiest — including SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, whose estimated net worth is around -$389 billion. Authorities are now working to resolve the issue and ensure the account is secure.
