Faced with a CBI probe for alleged loan fraud, Simbhaoli Sugars today said it is committed to clear its outstanding dues to Oriental Bank of Commerce in “due course of time” in consultation with all the lenders.
CBI has registered a case against the company, its Chairman Gurmit Singh Mann, Deputy MD Gurpal Singh and others in connection with the alleged bank loan fraud of Rs 97.85 crore.
In a filing to the stock exchanges close to midnight on Monday, the company said it had taken finance from banks, for which it has been regular in repayments but for periodical adverse cycles in sugar industry.
Recently, Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) -- one of the banks in its consortium -- has filed a fraud monitoring report against the company and referred it to the investigation agencies, it added.
“In this regard, the company and its management are in the process of submitting requisite clarifications and details to the investigating agencies and are fully committed to co-operate with the investigation.
“The management is committed to clear all of its outstanding dues with the OBC in due course of time, in joint consultation of all lenders,” the filing said.
