The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a case against IL&FS Energy Development Company and its executives over loan fraud. This case involves an alleged loss of Rs 212.34 crore linked to Canara Bank. The fraud stems from loans sanctioned by Syndicate Bank that were reportedly diverted from their intended projects. CBI conducted searches at multiple locations and seized various important documents related to the case.

The CBI has registered an FIR against IL&FS Energy Development Company Ltd and its executives over an alleged Rs 212 crore loan fraud involving Canara Bank. Searches were conducted at the Mumbai, Delhi and Noida premises.

The case follows a complaint by Canara Bank alleging that loans sanctioned by Syndicate Bank, which later merged with Canara Bank, were diverted from their intended purposes, according to a TOI report. A forensic audit reportedly flagged transactions involving group and associate companies, allegedly causing a loss of Rs 212 crore to the bank.

IL&FS Energy had secured a Rs 100 crore term loan from Syndicate Bank's Mumbai branch and a $50 million loan from its London branch. The funds were intended to finance infrastructure and renewable energy projects, including solar and wind ventures, and provide funding to project specific entities.

The CBI has named the company and its directors and executives Sunil Wadhwa, Anoop Seth, Hari Sankaran, Ramesh Chandra Bawa and Arun Kumar Saha as accused. Unknown public servants and private individuals have also been named in the case.
