SBI to file CBI complaint after tagging RCom, Anil Ambani as ‘Fraud': MoS Pankaj Chaudhary

New Delhi: Minister of State for Finance, Pankaj Chaudhary, stated in Parliament that the State Bank of India (SBI) has classified Reliance Communications Limited (RCOM), along with Promoter Director Anil D. Ambani, as 'Fraud' in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India's Master Directions on Fraud Risk Management and the bank's board-approved policy on Classification, Reporting & Management of Frauds. The bank is now in the process of filing a complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the minister informed. 'On June 24, 2025 the bank has reported the classification of fraud to the RBI, and is also in the process of lodging a complaint with the CBI, the minister said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha. Further, on July 1, 2025, as part of disclosure compliance, the Resolution Professional of RCOM has informed the Bombay Stock Exchange regarding fraud classification by the bank, the minister said in a written reply. 'The credit exposure by SBI in the aforesaid account includes, fund based – principal outstanding amount of Rs. 2,227.64 crore along with the accrued interest and expenses with effect from August 26, 2016 and non-fund based Bank Guarantee of Rs. 786.52 crore,' the minister revealed. RCOM is undergoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC). The resolution plan was approved by the Committee of Creditors and filed with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai on March 6, 2020, and NCLT approval is awaited, Chaudhary further stated. The bank has also initiated Personal Insolvency Resolution Process under IBC against Anil Ambani and the same is being heard by NCLT, Mumbai, he added. The Bank had earlier classified the account and promoters Anil D Ambani as 'Fraud' on Nov 10, 2020 and filed a complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Jan 5, 2021. However, the complaint was returned in view of the "status quo" order dated Jan 6, 2021 by the Delhi High Court, the minister further stated. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court Judgement dated March 27,.2023 in Civil Appeal No. 7300-7307 of 2022 (State Bank of India & Others Vs Rajesh Agarwal & Others) mandated that lenders provide borrowers with an opportunity to represent before classifying their accounts as fraud. Accordingly, the fraud classification in the account was reversed by the bank on September 2, 2023, he explained. The fraud classification process was re-run, and the account was again classified as 'Fraud' after following the due process as per RBI circular dated July 15, 2024, the minister added.

SBI has classified Reliance Communications, Anil Ambani as ‘fraud': Centre tells Parliament

The State Bank of India has classified Reliance Communications and its promoter-director Anil Ambani as 'fraud' and is in the process of registering a complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Union government told Parliament on Monday. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said that the entities were classified as fraud on June 13 in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India's Master Directions on Fraud Risk Management and the Board-approved Policy on Classification, Reporting and Management of Frauds. The minister added that the SBI reported the classification to the RBI on June 24. On July 1, the telecom firm informed the Bombay Stock Exchange about the fraud classification as part of its disclosure compliance. The credit exposure of the SBI in Reliance Communications includes a fund-based principal outstanding amount of Rs 2,227.64 crore, along with an accrued interest and expenses with effect from August 26, 2016, and a non-fund based bank guarantee of Rs 786.52 crore, Chaudhary said. He added that the telecom firm was undergoing the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process under the 2016 Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The code provides a legal framework to resolve insolvency cases and release non-performing assets quickly. The minister added that the resolution plan was approved by the Committee of Creditors and filed with the National Company Law Tribunal in Mumbai on March 6, 2020. The approval of the tribunal is awaited. The SBI had earlier classified the account and Ambani as 'fraud' in November 2020 and filed a complaint with the CBI in January 2021. However, the complaint was returned in view of a 'status quo' order passed on January 6, 2021 by the Delhi High Court, he added. The Supreme Court had in March 2023 mandated that lenders provide borrowers with an opportunity to represent themselves before classifying their accounts as fraud. In view of the order, the fraud classification in the account was reversed by the SBI in September 2023, the minister said. The reply added that the classification process was re-run and the account was once again classified as 'fraud' after due process as per a circular issued by the RBI on July 15, 2024. Last month, Reliance Communications in a regulatory filing said that it had received a letter on June 23 from the SBI on its decision to classify the loan account of the telecom firm as 'fraud' and to report Ambani to the RBI. In 2019, the telecom firm had said that it had decided to file for bankruptcy through the National Company Law Tribunal after failing to sell assets to pay up a debt of around Rs 45,000 crore.

IBC helps resolve over Rs 26 lakh crore debt in India in 9 years: Report

Mumbai: Nine years after the launch of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), India has managed to resolve debt worth more than Rs 26 lakh crore, either directly or indirectly, a new report said on Tuesday. Out of the total amount, around Rs 12 lakh crore of debt was resolved through about 1,200 cases of stressed borrowers after they were admitted to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), as per data compiled by Crisil Ratings. However, a bigger impact of the IBC has been in creating fear among defaulting borrowers, which helped settle nearly 30,000 cases involving Rs 14 lakh crore of debt even before these cases could be formally admitted by the NCLT. Since its launch in 2016, the IBC has replaced the earlier debtor-friendly system with a creditor-in-control approach. This major shift has made IBC more successful compared to earlier debt recovery methods like the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Lok Adalats, and SARFAESI. Data shows that the average recovery under the IBC has been 30-35 per cent, which is much higher than 22 per cent under SARFAESI, 7 per cent under DRT, and just 3 per cent through Lok Adalats. Experts say that the flexibility given to creditors under IBC -- including the power to replace managements and restructure loans -- has helped resolve even smaller and mid-sized distressed assets in recent years. In fact, about 60 per cent of all IBC resolution approvals in the last three years were for smaller cases, although they accounted for only 40 per cent of the total debt. According to Mohit Makhija, Senior Director at Crisil Ratings, about one-fourth of the total resolved debt since 2016 was handled under IBC. He said IBC has not only given the highest recovery rates but also contributed to almost half of the total recoveries. With growing investor interest in infrastructure and manufacturing assets, Makhija believes IBC will continue to be the preferred route for lenders.
