When Kanpur's Urmila Yadav became the world's richest person for a day

What if you receive a bank alert that says you have Rs 95 lakh crore in your bank account? While you figure out the answer, read about Urmila Yadav, a house maid who lives in Kanpur and received exactly such a message.

When her State Bank of India savings account displayed an amount of Rs 9,57,11,69,86,47,130.14, Urmila even surpassed the world's richest person Bill Gates whose current net worth is pegged at $79.3 billion. 

Last Friday, she received two bank alerts, one of which mentioned that her account had been credited with  Rs 95 lakh crore. However, the amount did not remain the same for too long, once brought to the attention of the bank authorities, who attributed it to a banking error.

Urmila had opened an account under the Jan Dhan Yojana scheme in the State Bank of India (SBI) at Vikas Nagar's UPSIDC branch with Rs 2000.
