Bank union opposes public sector banks' 'loan melas' on NPA pile-up fears

The Maharashtra State Bank Employees Federation (MSBEF) on Monday opposed 'loan melas' organised by state-owned banks, saying that credit granted without much diligence at such events lead to pile-up of non-performing assets. Such 'melas' add to the retail Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) for the lenders as the loans are granted without much diligence, MSBEF said in a statement. The statement comes on a day when Union minister of state for finance Bhagwat Karad is attending one such mela in Maharashtra's Aurangabad, where public sector lenders are targeting to distribute Rs 2,900 crore of loans. Stating that past experience suggests borrowers stop repayments for such loans, the MSBEF said, no political party helps in the loan recovery process. "The same political parties demand for waiver of those loans so as to appease voters" during elections, it said, adding that such events vitiate the recovery atmosphere. Public sector banks are put into crisis through NPAs, and the same is used

How an unpaid loan aided Adani firms to make hostile takeover bid for NDTV

Adani group's acquisition of 34-year-old broadcaster NDTV will help its owner Gautam Adani, the world's fourth-richest man, to join a club of global tycoons in the media business. But behind that acquisition is an unpaid loan that New Delhi Television's (NDTV) founders Prannoy and Radhika Roy had taken from a company linked to rival billionaire Mukesh Ambani in 2009-10. Vishvapradhan Commercial Pvt Ltd had loaned Rs 403.85 crore to NDTV promoter company RRPR Holding Pvt Ltd. Against this interest-free loan, RRPR issued warrants to VCPL entitling it to convert them into a 99.9 per cent stake in RRPR in case it isn't paid-back. VCPL ownership changed hands in 2012.
