Indiabulls Says EOW Report Finds No Loan-Case Wrongdoing
A group called the Citizens Whistle Blower Forum accused Indiabulls Housing Finance of giving questionable loans.
They alleged that some loan money was moved to companies connected to the promoter, Sameer Gehlaut.
The Supreme Court of India ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate these claims.
A Delhi Economic Offences Wing report said all 197 loans had been fully repaid and closed.
It also said the company did not suffer financial losses in several major loan groups.
The loans reportedly earned more than ₹2,800 crore in interest and fees.
Seven loans to the Reliance ADA Group were also repaid, but that part of the investigation is still continuing.
Indiabulls said Gehlaut was not involved in approving the loans.
Indiabulls said a Delhi Economic Offences Wing status report found all 197 loan accounts fully repaid and closed.
The report recorded no financial loss for the DLF, Vatika, Chordia, and Americorp groups.
The company said the loans generated more than ₹2,800 crore in interest and fees.
