Clarification on Reported Incident at Odisha Grameen Bank of claimant bringing sister’s skeleton for death claim process

We would like to address recent media reports regarding an incident at one of the branches of our sponsored Regional Rural Bank, Odisha Grameen Bank.
The incident pertains to the Malliposi Branch, Patna Block, District Keonjhar, and occurred on 27.04.2026.

Contrary to certain media reports, bank officials did not demand the physical presence of a deceased customer for withdrawal. The facts are being presented to ensure clarity and transparency regarding the incident.

An individual, Mr. Jitu Munda, visited the branch for the first time requesting withdrawal from an account held in his sister’s name, Ms. Kalara Munda. As per banking regulations, third-party withdrawals are not permitted without proper authorization. Upon being informed, he stated that the account holder was deceased. Our Branch Manager clearly explained that in the event of death, settlement can only be processed upon submission of valid documents, including a death certificate.

The individual who was in an inebriated condition became disruptive and later returned with human remains, reportedly exhumed after being buried a few days earlier, placing them in front of the branch and claiming it to be his sister while demanding withdrawal from her account. This created a highly distressing situation at the premises. Local police authorities were immediately informed, and the matter was handled under their supervision.

The incident appears to have arisen due to a lack of awareness of the claim settlement process and the individual’s unwillingness to accept the procedures explained by the Branch Manager. Bank’s intention was to protect the interest of the poor tribal women monies in the account. There is no case of any harassment. The bank is also in continuous coordination with local authorities for issuance of the death certificate. The claim will be settled on priority once the death certificate is submitted.

Our sponsored Regional Rural Bank, Odisha Grameen Bank remains committed to compassionate, lawful, and transparent service to all customers.
