CBI files charge sheet against two officials of Canara Bank and others in a fraud case of Rs. 1.17 crores

New Delhi, 15-10-2009

          The Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a charge sheet u/s.120-B r/w 420, 468, & 471 of IPC and Sec. 13 (2) r/w 13 (1) (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 before the XXI Addl. City Civil and Sessions (Special) Judge, Bangalore against the then Branch Manager, an officer (Advances Department), both of Canara Bank, Corporate Consumer Finance Branch, Infantry Road, Bangalore; an Assistant Grade-II & an Ancillary Labour, both of M/s Food Corporation of India, Bangalore and an owner of a Bangalore based Hotel for causing loss of Rs. 117 lakhs (approx.) to the Bank.

          Investigation had revealed that the owner of a Bangalore based Hotel near M/s. Food Corporation of India, Bangalore during the year 2000-01 had come in contact with Assistant Grade.II & Ancillary Labour, both of M/s. Food Corporation of India, Bangalore and others. They had entered into a criminal conspiracy with Sr. Manager & Officer (Advances Department), both of Canara Bank, Corporate Consumer Finance Branch, Infantry Road, Bangalore in the matter of availing loan under Canjewel Budget Scheme. In furtherance of the conspiracy they had submitted applications in the name of employees of M/s. Food Corporation of India along with forged/inflated salary slips to Canara Bank, Corporate Consumer Finance Branch, Infantry Road, Bangalore. The applications were processed by the two officers of Bank and 95 loans total amounting to Rs.117.79 lakhs (approx.) were sanctioned in the name of 95 employees of M/s. Food Corporation of India during 2000-02. These borrowers were daily paid service labourers and were not the regular employees of M/s. Food Corporation of India. They were also not entitled for loan under the Can Budget Loan Scheme. It was also revealed some of the borrowers were not on the pay rolls of M/s. Food Corporation of India. The Assistant Grade-II of M/s Food Corporation of India was not authorised to issue the salary certificates/salary mandates in the name of individual borrowers. However, he had issued fake salary slips/salary mandates by claiming to be Asst. Manager (Labour Cell), M/s. Food Corporation of India, Bangalore with the help of other two conspirators. The bank officials had sanctioned the loan without causing verification in to the bonafides of the borrowers and the documents submitted by them. Thus the bank has suffered a loss of Rs.117.79 lakhs (approx.) in these transactions.
