We have seen many financial scams during the last few years from Satyam, Saradha, Kingfisher (Mr. Vijay Mallya), NSEL to PNB where public money running into thousands of crores of rupees has been involved. There may be many such scams which still hidden in dark room. These scams have shattered the faith of investors, citizens & other stake holders.
Much is talked and written about scams in the Banking sector after the Nirav Modi Scam in PNB. Why RBI, Finance Ministry, CVC and others wake up only when a major scam surfaces? Why we are not analyzing the failure of the system? What is the role of the Govt and its policies which cause system failures and scams?
The Disciplinary Directorate of ICAI has issued Show Cause Notices to all Central Statutory Auditors of PNB. Similarly, Central Statutory Auditors who have done quarterly review of PNB have also been issued Show Cause Notice. Auditor of Gitanjali Gems Ltd., has also been issued the Show Cause Notice in the matter.
PNB closed all option to recover dues by going public: Nirav Modi.- We have followed lawful avenues available to us as per law of land to recover our dues.
There is a lot of misinformation in the media about the role of the statutory auditors of a Bank whether at the HO or the branches. It is not just a test check as stated by a CA to Economic Times. It is not as per an article in Business Standard of 20th February 2018
With the latest Rs. 11,000 crore scam by a world-renowned jeweler Nirav Modi and his firms, several questions arise in our minds. This is a willful scam carried out by few bank officials and the jeweler. Having said that the involvement of top politicians and RBI officials cannot be ruled out.
PNB looking to monetize assets.- Bank has enough assets to meet any liability which is decided as per law. However, realization of any specific asset would be decided at the time of need with the approval of Board.
With reference to the media reports regarding Govt. asks fraud-hit Punjab National Bank to conduct forensic audits. We submit as under: Since our bank has not received any instruction from any investigating/Govt. authority, we at present cannot comment on media reports.
It is clarified that the modus operandi of this event has nothing to do with the happening in one of the largest Public Sector Banks. The incident happened in our Bank is because of the cyber attack initiated by the international cyber criminals and there is no evidence of internal staff involvement.
The Punjab National Bank’s fraudulent transactions worth Rs 11,300 crore should act as a strong trigger for the government for reducing its stake to less than 50 per cent in the banks which should then be allowed to work on the lines of private sector lenders with a full sense of accountability to their shareholders protecting interest of depositors
