'Scam' in loans to Lavasa, Adani

Over a month after the CBI cracked down on the alleged multi-crore kickbacks-for-loans scam, investigators are believed to have found irregularities in the loan files of at least eight companies, including Lavasa, DB Realty, Mantri Realty and Adani Group.

In November, the CBI had arrested three members of Mumbai-based financial service company Money Matters and four others for their involvement in the alleged loan scam. The CBI, after going through loan files of companies which had got loans sanctioned through Money Matters and allegedly erred in their conduct, has compiled a list of eight companies who it says were aware of the scam.

“With the help of the technical team, we scrutinised all the loan files and found out glaring irregularities in the transactions carried out by a few companies. A scrutiny report is being forwarded to Delhi for further action,” confirmed a senior CBI official.

The CBI soon after the arrest had asked 19 of Money Matters' beneficiaries to file their reply. “All the companies had sent replies and loan files to CBI. We went through all of them. It'’s difficult to say at this stage how grave these irregularities are. We are still probing,” said the officer.

On November 24, the CBI had arrested the chief executive officer of LIC Housing Finance, Ramachandran Nair, LIC executive, secretary (investment) Naresh Chopra, Bank of India general manager R N Tayal, Maninder Singh Johar, a chartered accountant and part-time director on the board of Central Bank of India, and Punjab National Bank deputy general manager Venkoba Gujjal.

The agency also arrested Rajesh Sharma, the head of Money Matters and two of his colleagues, Suresh Gattani and Sanjay Sharma.

When contacted, Sunil Mantri, chairman and managing director of Mantri Realty, said, “This is not the first time we are borrowing from these institutions. I don’t know in which context CBI is saying this. Our company is not involved in any fraudulent acts. No one gives loans without proper verification. We are regular borrowers from these institutions.”

While Lavasa and Adani could not be reached for comment, DB Realty’s chairman Vinod Goenka said, “DB Realty has followed the rule of law in raising money from LIC Housing Finance. The company did hire a consultant and the transaction is transparent.”
