Proceedings initiated against Byju's under companies law still ongoing: MCA

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs on Wednesday said proceedings initiated against edtech player BYJU'S under the companies law are "still ongoing" and a final conclusion cannot be drawn in the matter at this stage. Last year, the ministry ordered the inspection of the books of BYJU'S in the wake of various developments at the edtech company, including its inability to finalise the statements and the resignation of an auditor. In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) said reports claiming that BYJU'S has been cleared of financial fraud in an ongoing investigation by it are "factually incorrect and misleading". "The proceedings initiated by MCA under the Companies Act, 2013, are still on going and no final conclusion should be drawn in this matter at this stage," it added. In July 2023, MCA asked the office of the Regional Director in Hyderabad to conduct an inspection of the company Think & Learn Pvt Ltd, which is registered in Bengaluru. Think & ...

Byju's processes employees' salaries for May from business collections

Edtech firm BYJU'S has processed employees' May salaries from the month's business collections, sources close to the company said on Monday. Last year, the founders of the edtech firm had to pledge their house to raise debt for paying employees' salaries. "The salaries for the month of May have been processed for BYJU'S employees and will be credited today. This milestone is particularly significant for BYJU'S as the salaries have been paid from the company's collections for the month," a source said. The company in the past month also raised various debts to bear the salary expenses as it has not been able to use the USD 200 million fund raised through rights in February. "Over recent months, BYJU'S has implemented a series of strategic initiatives aimed at optimising operations and strengthening its financial health. The ability to cover salary expenses from the monthly collections underscores the positive impact of these measures," the source said. A group of four investors --
