Ahmednagar: Banks have refused to collect the coins deposited in the donation box of Sai Baba Temple at Shirdi in the district. Banks say that they do not have a place to keep these coins. At present, Sai Baba Institute has 1.5 crore rupee coins which are to be deposited in banks. The sanction of the banks is awaited.

In a bid to tackle the problem, Deepak Munglikar, CEO of Sai Baba Institute Trust, has written to RBI and nationalised banks urging them to suggest a solution to the problem. Every day lakhs of devotees from all over the country and abroad visit Shirdi and visit Sai Baba's Samadhi. Sai Baba Temple also receives a lot of donations, making Sai Baba Temple the second place in the country after Tirupati Balaji.
