The court also imposed a fine of Rs 9 lakh on Anil Singhvi for various offences.
Singhvi, proprietor of M/s Kemptronics, was convicted under IPC section 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), the CBI said in a release.
The court also asked him to pay a fine of Rs 5 lakh, it said.
Singhvi was further convicted under IPC section 420 (cheating) and sentenced to RI for three years and asked to pay a fine of Rs 1 lakh.
