  • BUDGET 2021 Response to the National Budget Statement
    BUDGET 2021 Response to the National Budget Statement Abstract How unlawful privatization of the people’s money to foreign friends of the finance minister, condoned by an unjust parliamentary majority, is destroying the economy of Dominica and creating unnecessary poverty, suffering and pain for the people. Hon. Lennox Linton Leader of the Opposition INTRODUCTION Citizens of Dominica, The 2021 National Budget is Government`s income and expense statement for the financial year July 1st, 2021 to June 30th, 2022. It entails how the government will raise its funds and where and how the funds will be used. Through the approval of Parliament, the budget provides Government with the money it needs to deliver its policies and run vital services in areas such as Health, Education, Economic Development, Housing, Livelihood Sustainability, Environment Protection and Public Infrastructure. The budget impacts the economy at large and the everyday lives of all Dominicans. In our Parliamentary Democracy it is a critical instrument of social justice. BUDGET DEBATE IN AN UNJUST PARLIAMENT As I reflected carefully on what I believe is our shared commitment across the parliamentary divide to build a prosperous, peaceful, secure and just society, a Magistrate’s concern in court on July 27th, 2021 kept coming back to me: “The Prosecution has brought the administration of justice in Dominica into disrepute”. In other words, those involved in regulating access to the criminal justice system and prosecuting criminal conduct in the public interest, in the 1 opinion of a sitting Magistrate, have brought the administration of justice into disrepute. We want prosperity, peace, security and justice.

Merely changing the top executives will not suffice, according to CH Venkatachalam, General Secretary, AIBEA. He also opposed the demands for privatisation of public sector banks. Public deposits ―Everyone is now aware what is the reality about private sector efficiency. ICICI Bank and Axis Bank together have deposits of the public to the tune of Rs. 9 lakh crore, which we need to safeguard,‖ he said. ―There have been repeated cases of suppression of bad loans and under- provisioning. All these unethical things have been going on for a long time.‖ Venkatachalam noted that ever since the Punjab National Bank-Nirav Modi fraud came to light, there has been strong demand from different corners for the privatisation of public sector banks. The only argument was that the PNB fraud has taken place because of the inefficiency of public sector ownership of banks.

Punjab National Bank (PNB) India’s second largest public sector bank released a disaster on Valentine's Day i.e. 14th February 2018 by revealing a scam of Rs.11,400 crore directed by one of the country's richest businessman of the diamond, Nirav Modi.

The post scam had impacted shares of PNB by evaporating the market capitalization value worth of Rs.8000 crore due to that the entire banking sector was under shocking waves. Whistleblower had transcribed to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) at 2016, notifying the government for the “biggest bank loot scam in 70 years” but no prompt action was taken by the government.

    Journal of Forensic and Investigative Accounting Volume 11: Issue 2, Special Edition, 2019 Gem of the Indian Banking Fraud: A Case of Systemic Control Failures at Punjab National Bank Gagan Kukreja Sanjay Gupa* Introduction Punjab National Bank (PNB) is one of the largest public sector banks in India. The government owns 65.01% of its equity as on March 31, 2017 (PNB, 2017). According to Top Banker 2017 report of Dun and Bradstreet (2017, p 107), the PNB ranks third among all Indian banks and second among the Indian public sector banks in terms of business size (total of advances and deposits), which exceeds USD 160 billion as of March 31, 2017. The core strengths of the bank are its brand image with 122 years of experience, its more than 100 million customers, its strong deposit base, its consistently growing operating profit, and its low cost of operations, and its extensive rural and urban branch network, stable asset quality and rapid digitalization. As on March 31, 2017, PNB had an aggregate asset size of USD 111 billion, equity of USD 6.5 billion and net income of USD 204 million. The banks total capital ratio (regulatory capital to risk weighted assets) was close to twelve percent (PNB, 2017). Before we delve into the details of the PNB fraud, we need to understand how the trade is financed by banks in India. Some frequently used terms in import-export finance are explained below. Letter of Undertaking (LoU) and Foreign Letter of Credit (FLC) (“hundi” in Hindi) A LoU is a letter of guarantee issued by a bank on behalf of its customers to foreign branches of other banks, who offer credit to these customers.

This will be aided by the roll-out of pre-packaged insolvency for resolution, resumption of courts and formation of National Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd (NARCL). India’s largest bank will make judicious use of all recovery options at its disposal, he said. However, Khara underscored that it is too early to call a possible deterioration of asset quality in banks due to the second wave. “The Bank over the last two financial years was dealing with a steep rise in stressed assets. All-round effort in managing stressed accounts initiated in FY2019 was carried through in FY2020 as well. “However, the outbreak of the pandemic and subsequent lockdown in FY2021 altered the dynamics of stressed asset recovery. Bank had to grapple with disruption in normal proceeding at NCLT due to Covid-19 infections,” the SBI Chief said in the latest annual report. Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) mandated a standstill clause for some portfolios.

  • Nirav Modi May Be Extradited Soon, but Over 300 Fugitives Evade Indian Laws at Present
    Nirav Modi may be extradited soon, but over 300 fugitives evade Indian laws at present India is currently looking for 313 fugitives, including 224 citizens, who have been issued red corner notices by Interpol as of now. Apart from Modi, the list includes Mehul Choksi, gangster Iqbal Mirchi’s widow Hajra Memon and others. Samrat Sharma New Delhi March 2, 2021 UPDATED: March 2, 2021 22:46 IST A demonstrator in Kolkata holds an effigy depicting Nirav Modi (Picture Credits: Reuters) n February 25, Indian agencies tasted major success in its nearly three-year battle against Nirav Modi when O a UK court cleared the first legal hurdle for the fugitive diamantaire’s extradition. However, India is looking for 313 fugitives, including 224 citizens, who have been issued red corner notices by the Interpol as of now. Apart from Modi, the list includes Mehul Choksi, gangster Iqbal Mirchi’s widow Hajra Memon and others. A red corner notice is Interpol’s request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest individuals who are liable to extradition, surrender or similar legal action. The below graphic shows the list of fugitives accused of money laundering and wanted by India to be tried in her courts. As per government records, 72 citizens have fled the country after allegedly being involved in financial irregularities since 2015. Of these, India has managed to extradite only two fugitive economic offenders in the last six years, according to an RTI. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) have so far successfully convinced a UK court to extradite Modi, but the extradition of Choksi from Antigua appears to be a long shot.

    NewsIndiaPNB scam: Forensic Audit bares modus operandi PNB scam: Forensic Audit bares modus operandi In fresh and startling revelations, a Forensic Audit into the PNB scam involving diamantaires Mehul Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi, has zeroed in on the possible modus operandi deployed to siphon off their illegal funds. ADVERTISEMENT Indo-Asian News Service Mumbai December 8, 2019 UPDATED: December 8, 2019 18:37 IST In fresh and startling revelations, a Forensic Audit into the Punjab National Bank (PNB) Rs 13,500-crore scam involving absconder diamantaires Mehul Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi, has zeroed in on the possible ''modus operandi deployed to siphon off their illegal funds. For starters, in the Forensic Audit - conducted by the Belgium-headquartered BDO's India branch - it was found how Choksi's company Gitanjali Gems Ltd's multiple exporters of rough diamonds used a common account in the same bank, according to sources. The exporters were: 4Cs Diamond, EMA Diamond LP with an account in Israel Discount Bank, Tel Aviv; Crown AIM Ltd, Taipingyang Trading Ltd. account with UCO Bank in Hong Kong; and Munic Gems LLC, Saumil Diam LLC holding an account in J.P. Morgan Chase, New York. The Forensic Audit team found that Choksi's diamond companies made "high value sales and purchases" through ''potentially non-existent partners'' (bogus companies), using the same invoice for making multiple imports. Some of these ''non-existent partners'' include Premier Intertrade, Asian Corporation and Iris Mercantile, as per the forensic probe conducted for the Mumbai-based Bank of India (BoI). The PNB also informed the BoI how fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LoUs) of Rs 3,032.12 crore and FLCs worth Rs 1799.36 crore were issued in favour of Choksi's group companies - Gitanjali Gems Ltd., Gili India Ltd.
