Everybody is talking about #pmcbank will not work for 6 months but I am asking what will happen after 6 months? Will all account holders get their money back? @RBI @nsitharaman

With #PMCBank closed with not fault of the depositors. All our hard earn money stuck. How can one survive with total withdrawal of only Rs. 1000.
