All such excess debits have already been reversed," Rao said.

The bank did not named the public run lender. Of late there have been witnessed several such glitches at various banks which have called for RBI's attention over the issue.
Amid technical snag, earlier the RBI stopped HDFC Bank to suspend all launches as part of the Digital 2.0 program. Also, the bank asked to check for the lapses and fix accountability.
