In a decisive crackdown on the alleged ₹590 crore IDFC bank scam, the Government of Haryana has recovered ₹556 crore so far, sending a strong message across administrative circles that misuse of public funds will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
The swift and stringent action is being seen as one of the largest financial recoveries in recent state-level enforcement efforts.

High-Level Probe Ordered
The government has ordered a comprehensive high-level inquiry to examine the role of officials and institutions involved. The Chief Minister has made it clear that those found guilty will be brought within the ambit of the law.

Key Developments Under Investigation:
Detailed scrutiny of suspicious financial transactions
Multiple accounts under the scanner
Close coordination between state and central agencies
Accountability process initiated against responsible officials
Sources indicate that the recovered funds have already been transferred back to the concerned departmental accounts.

‘Zero Tolerance’ Policy in Action
The state government described the move as a decisive step under its “Zero Tolerance” policy against corruption, emphasizing that public money must remain fully protected.


Issue Echoes in the Assembly
The matter also resonated strongly during the Assembly session, where the opposition demanded strict accountability. The government, in response, assured the House that the probe would be carried out with full transparency and pursued to its logical conclusion.

Administrative Resolve on Display
Experts believe that the rapid recovery of such a substantial amount reflects administrative vigilance and political will. However, attention now turns to the final investigation report and the legal consequences that may follow.


For now, the government has sent a clear signal — safeguarding taxpayers’ money remains paramount, and the fight against corruption will continue unabated.
