“When will get the government and the RBI wake up?” said a woman whose three family members have accounts in PMC Bank.Depositors have planned a candle light march this evening.The crisis at the cooperative bank was set off after real estate firm HDIL defaulted on loans from PMC Bank worth Rs. 4,355 crore.

The PMC Bank has been placed under “directions” by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) since last month. This means that depositors’ withdrawals have been capped. The central bank on Monday raised withdrawal limit for account holders of PMC Bank to Rs. 40,000 from earlier withdrawal limit of Rs. 25,000.

Worried depositors of the bank, which has deposits of over Rs. 11,000 crore, have been protesting across Mumbai. Last week, they protested at the site of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s press conference. Later, they met Ms Sitharaman, who later urged the RBI Governor to look into the concerns of the customers.

Four people, including promoters of HDIL to which PMC Bank made the sour loans, and the bank’s former chairman and ex-managing director have so far been arrested in connection with the latest banking fraud case to spook the country’s depositors and investors.

Rakesh Wadhwan, the chairman and managing director of HDIL, and his son Sarang Wadhawan were named in a police complaint that also accused the bank’s management of concealing non-performing assets and disbursing loans to HDIL leading to a loss of at least Rs. 4,300 crore.
