HC refuses to grant interim relief to Shiv Sena’s Anandrao Adsul, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The Bombay High Court on Friday refused to pass any order granting interim protection from coercive action to Shiv Sena leader and former MP Anandrao Adsul in connection with an alleged Rs 980 crore fraud at the City Co-operative Bank. Adsul had moved HC this week challenging the case and the summons issued by the ED directing him to appear before it for questioning.

Adsul’s counsel Abhinav Chandrachud told a division bench of Justices S S Shinde and Justice N J Jamadar that proceedings initiated by ED were at the instance of political rivals with the support of the ruling party at the Centre.

“Proceedings initiated by ED against Adsul clearly smack of political vendetta being settled through enforcement agencies, which are armed with powers of civil court during investigation and have been elevated to the status of court,” Adsul said in his plea.

Chandrachud told the court the proceedings before the ED had been initiated based on the complaint of Ravi Rana, husband of Amravati Lok Sabha MP Navneet Kaur.

He added that Adsul had filed a petition against Kaur’s caste certificate, and the HC had, earlier this year, cancelled the caste certificate.

Chandrachud argued that Rana had complained as retaliation to Adsul challenging the validity of Kaur’s caste certificate.

He further told the court Adsul was the original complainant in the case registered by the city police’s Economic Offences Wing in the alleged bank fraud case.

Opposing the relief sought, Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, appearing for ED, asked the court to consider Adsul’s conduct when the summons were issued to him.

“When ED went to serve the summons, he (Adsul) created a scene. Got himself an ambulance and went to a hospital. There he was found to be fine, so he went to another hospital and got himself admitted. This conduct has to be looked into,” Singh argued.

He further argued that a person may or not be an accused in a case but the ED has to question every party involved to trace the proceeds of crime in a money laundering case.

The court, after hearing the matter briefly, said it was not inclined to pass any order granting relief to the petitioner at this stage.

“It is not uncommon for informant to become accused. We are not inclined to grant any relief today,” the bench said, and posted the matter for further hearing on October 8.

The ED case against Adsul pertains to alleged irregularities of Rs 980 crore in the City Cooperative Bank, of which he was former chairman.

The money laundering case is based on a First Information Report (FIR) of Mumbai Police Economic Offences Wing (EOW) into the alleged irregularities in disbursement of loan funds and other financial transactions of the bank.

SRBC & Co LLP resigns as the auditor of IL&FS

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


 

SRBC & Co LLP, part of EY India, has resigned as the auditor of IL&FS citing recent regulations issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

“SRBC and Co. LLP will be ineligible to continue as auditors of the company for the financial year 2021-22 beyond September 30, 2021 having completed audits for three years.

“We would further like to inform you that the Board of Directors of the company vide resolution dated September 29, 2021, subject to the approval from members, have approved the appointment of CNK Associates LLP as Statutory Auditor of the company for FY 2021-22,” IL&FS said in a regulatory disclosure.

In a bid to ensure the independence of bank auditors, the RBI issued guidelines for the appointment of statutory central auditors or statutory auditors in April this year. Under the norms, it made joint audits mandatory for entities with an asset size of ₹15,000 crore and above, capped the number of audits a firm can perform in a year at four banks, and eight NBFCs and urban cooperative banks (UCBs), and reduced the tenure of auditors to three years.

Recently audit regulator National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) had found several audit failures on the part of SRBC & CO LLP in its statutory audit of the books of crisis-ridden IL& FS Transportation Networks Ltd ( ITNL), a subsidiary of IL&FS, for the financial year 2017-18. The Audit Quality Review Report (AQRR) had highlighted at least nine major observations including the point that the initial appointment of SRBC & Co LLP, and the continuation of SRBC & Co LLP as statutory auditor of ITNL, was prima facie illegal and void.

Improved revenue structure for NPS’ Point of Presence coming soon, says PFRDA Chief Bandyopadhyay

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Pension regulator PFRDA (Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority) is currently undertaking a comprehensive review of Point-of-Presence (PoP) revenue structures and new rates are expected to be available in a month, its Chairman, Supratim Bandyopadhyay, said on Friday.

“We have formed a committee for this purpose. The report is expected in a month,” Bandyopadhyay told a press conference on the occasion of ‘NPS Diwas’.

From this year, October 1 will be celebrated as ‘NPS Diwas’ every year, he added.

PoPs are the first points of interaction of the National Pension System (NPS) subscriber with the architecture. These entities provide services related to NPS to contributors. Such entities include banks, non-banks and various fintech companies.

The proposed move to revise PoP compensation structure is expected to motivate them to sell more NPS to citizens across the country. It will come at a time when several PoPs have conveyed to PFRDA that the individual agents or business correspondents (in the case of banks) appointed by them will also start distributing NPS as a product.

Individual distributors

PFRDA has already, in June this year, made changes in regulations to allow even individuals to work as distributors of pension products. This has paved the way for those working as insurance agents or mutual fund distributors to also distribute NPS.

Earlier, only institutions were given the licences for distribution, and the regulator had allowed entities such as banks, NBFCs and certain non-bank entities categorised as PoP to work as distributors.

Strong growth

Meanwhile, Bandyopadhyay also said that the number of new NPS subscribers onboarded in the first half of this fiscal grew 60 per cent at about 3.25 lakhs against 2.1 lakh recorded in the same period last year. As of September 25, the total assets under management (AUM) of NPS stood at about ₹6.67 lakh crore, he said, adding that PFRDA was well on course of meeting the aspiration of ₹7.5 lakh crore AUM by the end of March 2022.

Bandyopadhyay also highlighted that the equity funds of NPS have recorded 13 per cent compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) on a 12-year track record.

“Active fund management has been a huge positive for us. It was our decision to allow active fund management that has helped us achieve this. This would not have been possible in passive fund management,” he said.
