He also gave a message to those account holders whose account is open in the bank, but they are not operating it. He said that if there is no transaction in their account for 10 years, their deposit amount goes to the Reserve Bank of India's DEAF account, so they should regularize their account so that problems can be avoided.

The Chairman expressed gratitude for the cooperation of all the members, employees and officers while highlighting the progress of the bank.
