What is the allegation?
Allegations are not properly utilized by these companies of Reliance Group of Anil Ambani by taking a loan of thousands of crores of rupees from banks. That is, the purpose with which the loan was taken was not fulfilled, instead of the shell companies rotated that money. Apart from this, the ED investigation has also revealed the use of many fake documents and bank guarantee.
This investigation of ED launched under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) is connected to loans taken from about 20 private and public sector banks, which have now turned into non -performing assets (NPAs). According to the ED investigation, RHFL owes Rs 5,901 crore, RCFL is more than 8,226 crore and RCom owes about Rs 4,105 crore.
What will be the next step of ED?
People who are aware of the case told The Economic Times that the ED can call the senior officials of the banks in the coming time and the entire process of giving loans, the time limit for the lapse, the action taken followed by the action taken. Banks laying loans to Reliance Group companies include Yes Bank, State Bank of India, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Bank of India, UCO Bank and Punjab and Sindh Bank.
A senior official told ET on the condition of anonymity, “We want to know what action the banks have taken against the default companies, even if any action is taken.” Has he filed a complaint in an investigating agency demanding a criminal case against these companies?
Why is Anil Ambani being questioned?
The ED has recently arrested Partha Sarathi Biswal, managing director of a company named BTPL in this case. Investigation revealed that this company had received about Rs 5.4 crore from Reliance Power to make fake bank guarantee. Actually, Reliance Power took part in a government tender, for which it was necessary to put a bank guarantee.
BTPL was contacted in connection with this work. It used fake domains similar to SBI’s official domain to make its fake bank guarantee real.
The ED is now trying to find out who had a role in this entire fraud, where and how the transfer came from, where and how it happened. Now that Reliance Power has also been named in the case and many transactions related to the company are under investigation, the ED has summoned Anil Ambani.
