A Bareilly resident Ashok Pathak was in for a shock of his life when he received a Rs 500 note from an ATM that clamed to be from the ‘Children Bank of India’.

The note, which bears resemblance to the currency issued by the country’s central bank, also has the text ‘Churan Lable’, and promises of ‘sum of five hundred coupens’, not rupees, to the ‘barer’. 

Pathak told ANI: “I flashed the fake note in front of the ATM CCTV and informed some people. Another person named Pradeep Uttam walked in and withdrew Rs. 2,000 from the ATM. I asked him to check the cash he had just withdrawn. There were two fake Rs. 500 notes.”

Two more customers received fake Rs 500 notes and video of them went viral.

Bank manager Bachchan Shah blamed third-parties which are responsible for the transfer. He told TOI: “We checked all currency notes in the ATM on Monday and did not find any fake ones. I have sent a report to our head office in Calcutta to blacklist or take action against the agency, which is tasked with depositing cash at ATMs. They must have replaced some of the currency notes and it was an embarrassment for the bank.”
