A head constable of Madhya Pradesh police has blown the whistle against an alleged ‘undue’ monthly deduction of ₹59 as transaction charges by a public sector bank despite exemptions under State Government Salary Package (SGSP) scheme.

He not only approached banking lokpal and forced the bank to credit the money back to his salary account, but also got a probe initiated from the police HQ to see if the same had happened to 50,000-odd policemen across the state.

Assistant IG-police welfare has written to all police units, asking officers/employees to check if they are facing any such deductions. All unit heads have been asked to consult with their subordinates and junior officers about this. “If there are any complaints of imposing and deducting charges on transactions, it is the responsibility of unit heads to approach the branch manager concerned and ensure availability of benefits under SGSP scheme,” reads the AIG’s letter.

The cop has also written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, pointing out that if this money is being deducted from other government accounts, the amount could run into crores.
