on the application of Sh. Tara Chand S/o Khub Ram r/o Jana P.O

Archhandi distt Kullu that he has a bank account in PNB Nagar with ATM

Card. On 26.3.2011 when he was going to Delhi he lost his

wallet along with Cash & ATM Card from his pocket. He directed his wife to 

get his ATM card blocked so that nobody can misuse it but she didn’t get it

blocked. When he came back from Delhi he found some unknown person has

withdrawn Rs. 98000/- from his account. Case is being investigated by

ASI Jai Lal I.O P.S Manali. During investigation police came to know that

Sh. Tara Chand used to keep his PIN number noted in his wallet. Even 

when he was aware that card has been lost along with PIN even then his

wife didn't get the ATM card blocked clearly showing negligence on their part.

Though police is fully committed to register such cases and catch the

culprits and put them behind bars, public is advised following  

Do’s & Don’ts of ATM / Debit Card operation

• Memorize your PIN (personal identification number).
• Store your card in a secure place where you will immediately know if it is missing.

• Always change the PIN as soon as you receive it. Preferably, change it every quarter 
• Store the ATM-cum-debit card carefully so that the magnetic stripe does not get damaged

• Never let anyone see you input your PIN
• Never use a PIN that could be easily guessed, e.g. your birthday or telephone number.
