Yes Bank lost over ₹2,700 crore in deals with Anil Ambani firms: CBI

Yes Bank suffered a loss of over Rs 2,700 crore due to the "unilateral decision" of its co-founder Rana Kapoor to invest in the Anil Ambani-led financial companies, said the CBI's charge sheet in a case pertaining to alleged fraudulent transactions between the bank and the industrialist's group entities. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) last month filed a charge sheet against 13 people and entities, including Anil Ambani, Rana Kapoor and his family members, alleging criminal conspiracy, cheating and corruption related to loans and investments.

Bombay HC upholds SBI order on Anil Ambani, Reliance Comm fraud accounts

The Bombay High Court while upholding an order of the State Bank of India (SBI) classifying the accounts of industrialist Anil Ambani and Reliance Communications as fraud has said it was a reasoned order, and did not have any legal flaw. A bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale on October 3 dismissed a petition filed by Ambani, challenging the SBI order. The judgment, a copy of which was made available on Tuesday, said there was no merit in Ambani's plea as there was no "infirmity" in the SBI order of June 13, 2025. The court did not entertain the industrialist's contention that the order should be held as null and void because he was not given a personal hearing, and relevant documents were not furnished to him. The right available under the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Master Directions, under which the SBI passed its order, is that of making a representation and not of personal hearing, the high court noted. Ambani had submitted his response to the show-cause .

Bombay HC rejects Anil Ambani plea against SBI fraud classification

The Bombay High Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by industrialist Anil Ambani challenging the State Bank of India's (SBI) decision classifying his and Reliance Communications' accounts as fraud. A bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale said there was no merit in the plea. A detailed copy of the judgement was not available immediately. The SBI had last year classified the accounts as fraud, alleging misappropriation of funds by entering into transactions that violated the terms of loans extended by it. Ambani moved the HC, arguing that the bank had not followed the principles of natural justice as it did not grant him a hearing. Certain documents, based on which the classification orders were passed, were not provided to him initially, and furnished only after six months, the petition claimed. The bank this year lodged a complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which searched premises linked to Reliance Communications and Ambani's ...
