On the same day, IL&FS Trust Co subscribed to privately located debentures of VGN Developers Pvt Ltd, well worth Rs280 crore, famous a record.

According to the file from Savukkuonline (https://www.Savukkuonline.Com/14806/), VGN Developers Pvt Ltd paid Rs272 crore for 11.021-acre property in Guindy belonging to Chennai-based totally Hindustan Teleprinters Ltd (HTL). In the bidding method with bankers led with the aid of State Bank of India (SBI), the report says, VGN Developers turned into the sole bidder who made a proposal of Rs272 crore for the belongings.

“On an equal day, the deal turned into finalized, VGN Developers mortgaged the belongings to IL&FS Trust Co for Rs280 crore. While ordinary banking is widespread to pay eighty% of the mortgaged belongings fee as the loan, VGN Developers bought these belongings for the Rs272 crore and mortgaged the equal for Rs280 crore,” the document says.

From the agreement, it seems that IL&FS Trust subscribed to VGN Developer’s privately positioned debentures worth Rs280 crore on the day of the deal itself.

Here VGN Developer got the investment with a bad contribution of Rs8 crore. On the day of the shady Rs272 crore land deal of VGN Developers, IL&FS gave Rs280 crore of VGN’s rated, listed debentures. Who rated the debentures, and in which changed into it listed? (This) smacks of crook nexus. No prudent lender can do this. That is how a favored organization has been destroyed. There is a want for the complete investigative audit of an IL&FS institution.”

The consortium of banks headed using SBI had fixed the reserve rate for the HTL belongings at Rs250 crore and finalized the deal on 19 June 2013 for Rs272 crore with VGN Developers.

As in line with the advertisement located in newspapers at that point for a realty assignment simply close to the land offered by VGN Developers, the asking price turned into Rs12,000 per square ft. However, the sale fee turned into finalized far under the marketplace or tenet value.”
