Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Bank on Thursday clarified its position regarding scam around diamond merchant Nirav Modi.
“The Jammu and Kashmir Bank had no direct exposure to the Nirav Modi Group companies and was not affected by any fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LoU) issued by the Punjab National Bank,” a spokesman of the bank in respect of news item appearing in some sections of press that the web of defaults diamond merchant Nirav Modi spun in the country’s banking system includes the Jammu and Kashmir bank from where his uncle, Mehul Choksi, decamped with a loan amount worth Rs 121 crore.
“The bank however was having a business account of M/S Gitanjali Gems in its Fort Business Unit since 2012 wherein the bank had sanctioned a working capital loan of Rs 121 Cr under a consortium arrangement of 31 Banks led by ICICI Bank. J & K Bank’s share in the total loan facilities of Rs 5198 Cr by the consortium was 2.33%.”
