This money does not fall outside of three categories:
1. Unlawful bank interest: It must be spent on general Muslim welfare for disposal, and not returned to the bank.
2. Money mistakenly disbursed to you by an institution: It must be returned to them.
3. Money that is rightfully yours: It is lawful for you.
You must research, investigate, and contact the institution and the bank to ascertain the truth of the matter.
