PMC Bank crisis: MD's letter reveals how 21,049 dummy accounts were created to hide HDIL NPAs

India Today  

At least 21,049 dummy accounts were used by the Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative Bank to hide accumulated non-performing assets of realty firm Housing Development and Infrastructure Limited, revealed suspended PMC bank managing director Joy Thomas's letter. His confession letter to RBI also revealed that the bank's exposure to bankrupt HDIL has been pegged at Rs 6,500 crore, which is 73 per cent of the bank's total assets. Going by his confession, the bank had misreported HDIL's total exposure for years and used thousands of dummy accounts to hide the realty firm's NPAs-a tactic used by conniving officials of the bank to fox the banking regulator. In the letter, Thomas also mentioned how he along with six key executives including chairman Waryam Singh played a key role in sanctioning loans to HDIL despite its failure to repay loans.
