Number of wilful defaulters in nationalised banks up 60 per cent to 8,582 in 5 years

by with No Comment NewsScrip Scan

The minister was replying to a question whether the cases of wilful defaulters of banks have increased during the last five years.

The number of wilful defaulters in nationalised banks has increased by over 60 per cent to 8,582 in five years to March 2019, the government said Monday. By the end of 2014-15 fiscal, the figure stood at 5,349, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in a written reply in Lok Sabha. A wilful defaulter is an entity or a person that has not paid the loan back despite the ability to repay it.

The minister was replying to a question whether the cases of wilful defaulters of banks have increased during the last five years. Rising consistently since 2014-15, the number of such borrowers increased to 6,575 in 2015-16; 7,079 in 2016-17 and further to 7,535 in 2017-18.

“Wilful defaulters are acted against comprehensively. Moreover…as per RBI’s instructions, wilful defaulters are not sanctioned any additional facilities by banks or financial institutions, and their unit is debarred from floating new ventures for five years,” Sitharaman said. Recovery of Rs 7,654 crore has been done from wilful defaulters’ accounts during the last five financial years, she said.

As per data reported by nationalised banks, till March 31, 2019, suits for recovery have been filed in 8,121 cases. In cases involving secured assets, action under the provisions of SARFAESI Act has been initiated in 6,251 cases. There are 17 nationalised banks in India.

“Further, in accordance with RBI instructions of initiation of criminal proceedings wherever necessary, FIRs have been registered in 2,915 cases,” Sitharaman said. Besides, vide Sebi regulations, wilful defaulters and companies with wilful defaulters as promoters/directors have been debarred from accessing capital markets to raise funds, she said. In addition, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 has debarred wilful defaulters from participating in the insolvency resolution process.

For effective action against wilful defaulters fleeing Indian jurisdiction, the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018 has been enacted to provide for attachment and confiscation of property of fugitive offenders and has disentitled them from defending any civil claim.

The government has also advised public sector banks to decide on publishing photographs of wilful defaulters as well as to obtain certified copy of the passport of promoters/directors and other authorised signatories of companies availing loans of more than Rs 50 crore, the minister said. Heads of PSBs have also been empowered to request for issuance of look out circulars against wilful defaulters, she said.

Yes Bank co-founder Rana Kapoor’s family plans to sell mortgage unit

by with No Comment NewsScrip Scan

Family office run by Rana Kapoor’s three daughters is working with Nomura Holdings Inc. on a potential deal.

Banker Rana Kapoor’s family is planning to sell a stake in their six-year-old mortgage finance company, people with knowledge of the matter said, as rising wariness in the credit market erodes growth prospects of shadow finance firms.

The family office run by the three daughters of the Yes Bank Ltd. co-founder is working with Nomura Holdings Inc. on the potential deal, according to the people, who asked not to be identified as the information isn’t public. It has reached out to several private equity firms to gauge their interest, the people said.

While default at Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Ltd. triggered a liquidity crunch in India’s credit market, it has helped private equity firms such as Blackstone LP acquire assets. Many founders–from tycoon Anil Ambani to media mogul Subhash Chandra–are selling assets to tide over a liquidity crunch. Shadow banks are facing most of the burnt as the cracks from the credit squeeze spread far and wide forcing investors to shun their debt and raising rollover risks for outstanding borrowings.

The Kapoor family office could consider selling a majority stake in the business, the people said. Deliberations regarding a potential sale are at an early stage, and there’s no guarantee they will lead to a transaction, the people said. An official at the fund–known as The Three Sisters: Institutional Office–referred queries to ART Housing.

ART Housing’s founders are planning to sell a minority stake to fund expansion, Arvind Hali, chief executive officer of the lender said in an email. The mortgage financier, with 35 branches, is in the process of raising equity capital from institutional investors, he said. A representative for Nomura didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Wadhawan Global Capital, parent of an Indian mortgage lender Dewan Housing Finance Corp., sold its stake in Aadhar Housing Finance Ltd. to Blackstone earlier this year. Meanwhile a family office that manages money for India’s wealthy Jhunjhunwala family is looking to invest in finance companies which have been pummeled by the crisis.

Kapoor built Yes Bank into India’s fourth-largest private lender over 15 years until the central bank forced him out earlier this year amid a controversy over bad-debt accounting. The banker is not involved in any capacity including as a shareholder, director or management of the family office run by his three daughters, an email statement from the company in November showed.

Oil prices rise as Middle East tensions simmer

by with No Comment NewsScrip Scan

U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that he called off a military strike to retaliate for Iran’s downing of an unmanned U.S. drone, and he said on Sunday that he was not seeking war with Iran.

Oil prices climbed on Monday as tensions remain high between Iran and the United States, with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying “significant” sanctions on Tehran would be announced. Brent futures were up 37 cents, or 0.6%, at $65.57 a barrel by 0044 GMT. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 43 cents, or 0.8%, at $57.86 a barrel.

U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that he called off a military strike to retaliate for Iran’s downing of an unmanned U.S. drone, and he said on Sunday that he was not seeking war with Iran. But Pompeo also said “significant” sanctions on Iran would be announced on Monday aimed at further choking off resources that Tehran uses to fund its activities in the region.

“The Middle East clashes should support oil prices at the start of the week as crude markets will wait to see Iran’s response to the threat of additional sanctions,” said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA in New York. Oil prices surged last week after Iran shot down a drone that the United States claimed was in international airspace and Tehran said was over its territory.

Amid the escalating tensions Brent racked up a gain of about 5% last week, its first weekly gain in five weeks, and WTI jumped about 10%, its biggest weekly percentage gain since December 2016. Trump said he had aborted a military strike on Iran because such a response to Tehran’s downing of the unmanned U.S. surveillance drone would have caused a disproportionate loss of life.

ranian officials told Reuters that Tehran had received a message from Trump through Oman overnight warning that a U.S. attack on Iran was imminent.

“We’re prepared to negotiate with no preconditions,” Pompeo told reporters on Sunday. “They know precisely how to find us. I am confident that at the very moment they’re ready to truly engage with us we’ll be able to begin these conversations. I’m looking forward to that day.”

Glenmark Pharma down over 6%, hits 52-weeks low as FDA issues CRL for Ryaltris

by with No Comment NewsScrip Scan

Glenmark said it will continue to pursue regulatory approval for Ryaltris and work closely with the FDA to determine the appropriate next steps

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals plunged over 6 percent intraday on June 24, after the pharma player said the US Food and Drug Administration has issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) regarding the new drug application for Ryaltris.

The CRL cites deficiencies in the Drug Master File pertaining to one of the active pharmaceutical ingredients and in manufacturing facilities, the company said in a regulatory filing.

At 1000 am, Glenmark was trading 6 percent down at Rs 469. The stock hit a fresh 52-week low at Rs 467.70 on the BSE.

“We would like to inform you that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) regarding the New Drug Application for Ryaltris (olopatadine hydrochloride [665 mcg] and mometasone furoate [25 mcg]), Nasal Spray,” Glenmark Pharmaceuticals said.

“The CRL does not specify any deficiencies with the clinical data supporting the New Drug Application for Ryaltris. We feel confident that we should be able to resolve these issues within the next six to nine months,” it added.

The company said it will continue to pursue regulatory approval for Ryaltris and work closely with the FDA to determine the appropriate next steps.

In a separate report, Glenmark said that it plans to partner with Novartis to promote, commercialize and distribute three respiratory products in Brazil. Novartis will be responsible for manufacturing the products and Glenmark will exclusively commercialise them in Brazil.

“A delay in Ryaltris approval (due to CRL issued by USFDA) will weigh on the stock until clarity emerges. The exclusive partnership arrangement will strengthen Glenmark’s respiratory franchise in Brazil,” said a Sharekhan note.
