00:00India's largest bank SBI has labelled the loan account of Reliance Communications as fraud

00:07and even named Anil Ambani in its report to the RBI.

00:12What led to this? Let's break it down.

00:21Reliance Communications, also known as R-Com, is the telecom company once led by businessman Anil Ambani.

00:28On June 23 this year, the State Bank of India officially decided to classify R-Com's loan account as fraud.

00:38This was shared by the company itself in a filing to the stock exchange.

00:43SBI's letter received by R-Com on June 30 mentions several issues which includes

00:50possible diversion of funds to related companies like Reliance Telecom Ltd,

00:56breaking of loan terms and conditions, findings from forensic audits, and multiple show-cause notices.

01:07After marking the loan as fraud, SBI said it is now reporting not just the account,

01:14but also Anil Ambani's name to the Reserve Bank of India.

01:18They are doing this according to the RBI's rule and guidelines, known as Master Directions and Circulars.

01:26Interestingly, Canera Bank already called the R-Com account fraud in November 2024,

01:33but that move was later stopped by the Bombay High Court.

01:36To understand why this matters, let's go back a bit.

01:44Reliance Communications went into financial trouble and started its corporate insolvency resolution process,

01:52also called CIRP, in June 2019.

01:55Since then, the company has been run by a resolution professional under the supervision

02:00of the National Company Law Tribunal in Mumbai.

02:03A resolution plan to handle its debt has already been approved by its creditors

02:08and is now waiting for final approval by the NCLT.

02:17R-Com has clarified that the loans SBI is talking about

02:21were taken before June 2019, before CIRP started.

02:26Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Court,

02:29once a resolution plan is approved,

02:31the company is supposed to get protection from old cases or proceedings.

02:36There's a special section, Section 32A,

02:39which says that after NCLT approval,

02:43the company shouldn't be held responsible for offenses committed

02:46before the insolvency process began.

02:49Because of this, Reliance Communications has said

02:52it is now taking legal advice to decide.

02:55It's next move.

02:57So, SBI has called R-Com's loan account fraud,

03:01named Anil Ambani in its report to RBI,

03:04but the company says these are old issues

03:06being handled through insolvency.
