The Supreme Court on Monday declared as valid the Maharashtra Protection of Interests of Depositors (in Financial Establishments) Act, 1999 (MPIDA), which offers relief to depositors who have been duped by non-banking financial institutions.

An SC division bench of justice Markandey Katju and justice Gyan Sudha Misra set aside the Bombay High Court's judgement of September 5, 2005, which declared the Act to be "unconstitutional".

Monday's Supreme Court order was passed while deciding on an appeal filed by depositor Sonal Hemant Joshi and others.

These depositors had challenged the HC judgment which said that it was outside the competence of the Maharashtra legislature to enact such an Act, as banking was in the Union List under the Constitution.

The SC referred to its March 4 judgment in the case of K K Baskaran and the state of Tamil Nadu where the petitioners had challenged the constitutional validity of the Tamil Nadu Protection of Interest of Depositors (in Financial Establishments) Act, 1997, and the subsequent judgment given by the Madras HC upholding the validity of the said Act. The petitioners here had argued that the Tamil Nadu Act was similar to MPIDA and hence should also be declared unconstitutional as was ruled by the Bombay HC in the case of the MPIDA.

Giving its verdict in this case, the SC had, however, ruled, "We are of the opinion that the judgment by the Madras HC is correct while the judgment of the full bench of the Bombay HC is not correct. The Act is a salutary measure to remedy a great social evil. A systematic conspiracy was effected by certain fraudulent financial establishments which not only committed fraud on the depositors, but also siphoned off or diverted the depositors fund malafide."

Who wants to have MILLIONS of dollars coming in EACH MONTH without having to do ANYTHING? Raise your hand!

Now the days very popular online survey company (speakasiaonline.com) By investing 11000/- rupees members earn about 4000/- rupees per month. Its this true?
Till date (April 2011) is YES
Speakasiaonline.com is (MLM) multi-level marketing.
MLM’s by itself are not illegal business but here’s what you should know about such schemes.
Recently MLM Sacms
1. Stockguruindia.com about 2 lac members, investment fee 10,000/- rupees, pay 20% per month after investment, Main office was in Delhi.
But in April 2011 company office closed company disappeared.
2. Ebiz
and many More…
But few questions arise about Speak Asia Online .
1. Why they charge for registration from users if they earn from surveys?
2. Does they Registered in INDIA?
3. Does they Tax payee of INDIA?
4. Look like main objective in member chain then survey?
How this work
For example:
Suppose, If there is 100 member, every month every member atleast referral one new user for signup membership by investing 11,000/- so 100 new signups.
Calculation goes like this
Company Earnings = 100 New users * 11000/- = 11,00,000/- per month
100 current users payout = 100 current user * 4000/- = 4,00,000/- per month
Company Profit = 7,00,000/- per month
What when company earning ratio goes down?
Everyone talking about they advertisement in IPL match cost rupees 4lac per match.
If they spent 4lac, there are about 1 Billion+ population of India, if only 100 people join by watch this advertisement about 11 lac they earn.
100*11000= 11,00,000


Few interesting facts about speak asia & it’s panelists:

I just want to share few things which I feel one should know about them.

They are registered in Singapore but not in India. Registering a company is not a big deal but no one is going to do a case in Singapore court for his Rs 12000.
They are selling subscription of online newsletter (Ezine) – so in case if surveys stop coming; you can’t take them in court because you will still be getting Ezines.
Their so called E-zines are just copy paste from some other sources & most of the time Wikipedia. (check this on insurance link 1 & link 2)
Why they are charging – why not give a chance to start as free.
They even don’t mention that people should be proficient in English or know internet. (only above 18 is the criteria)
Right now they have added 7.5 lakh panelists (read agents – ok.. members) & they want to take this to 1 Cr by year end. When company do survey they do it with sample but not the whole market.
So once they reach a mark of 1 Cr – every year the panelist will be sharing a revenue of Rs 52000 Crore (1Cr members * 52 Weeks * Rs 1000 per week) & who is going to pay this amount.
Why one member is allowed extra panels at some fees. Don’t you think it will impact quality of survey?
Interesting nos.: 3 lakh of their members are from Utter Pradesh – I don’t want comment but do all of them really understand English. Amar ujala newspaper quotes people who are not able to fill surveys due to lack of English or how to use internet give Rs 50 to others to do the same.
This Singaporean company has changed their name 3-4 times in last couple of years. And their registered address show details of 4-5 companies.

Folks,


===================

Thanks to our Judiciary System.
Here we are, we are not going to get back our money & the Culprit is a free man.
He was supposed to be in Nashik Jail till Nov 2011 & finally this was suppose to be extended till Nov 2013.
How did he manage to get out of detention?
With all the FIR's against him, he will hardly serve in Jail for few more months & we won't be able to do anything against him once he is free.
The Govt Authorities are only interested to grab the money they are not interested with Masood & Company. This is how an Indian Law is hence people are happy to stay in India & do whatever they wish as everybody is aware of the Loop holes in Indian Judiciary system.
Great.

===============





ll I can say is common people are common people and are the ones who pay at the end.. Take it tax or anything..now a days all sorts of taxes are put on the common man. Corporates have many ways to save or avoid.
Does any one remember when an unauthorized meeting was called up by legal representatives of Masood in wilson college.
the whole place was Jammed by seas of ppl...I think that was the Optimum Media Coverage we ever got ?
Why Dont we get a little aggressive..? Why shouldn't we come out on the Roads?

==================

What will Happen? There is no point doing all these now, Media Coverage won’t help any more. The Case is under Investigation with Various Government Authority, all these authority will Investigate the case as per their respective Procedure’s & then file Charge sheet at various Court & the case will go on & on forever without any outcome & Masood will be a Free Man after the Investigation & the Govt Authorities will try to Grab the Money That’s All.

============

22-01-2011
If Masood ever comes out of Custody he will use all his sources to escape & Once he escapes this time we better kiss our money Good Bye. So folks we just pray that he remains in Jail till we all Investors get our money back.

i visited eow, qutb instl area and met insp. sher singh. Registered
my complaint there. Post filing my complaint, i got my original papers
verified.
I believe he shall also file an FIR on my behalf in a format available with him.
I have also been asked by him to furnish a certificate from my bank
confirming the name of the beneficiary and the bank in whose favour
cheques issued by me have been honoured.

As per him it shall take around 6-8 months for liquidation and final
disbursal of payments.

Guys we have to be patient with this and keep on praying

Mr Vedanth information is an eye openner and informative for all city
investor groups like us. thanks for his efforts to keep informed the
group, it is also very lengthy process, and as u said only 10% might
have been came under Govt Scrutiny, Remaining 90% is big question
mark, people have seen the govt inability in earlier frauds , still
we are not carefull on the investments. Vinivinic Case came to
Disbursment stage almost after 7-8 yrs. that too only for very big
investors, powerfull investors are trying to get back their money, but
what about individual investors fate. it should be watched . Any how

Its a good observation you've made. Citibank scam of Rs.300 cr occurred only in Gurgaon and has yet managed to grab attention of the entire media across India on a daily basis. City Grp scam of thousands of crores occurred across the country and yet is dying a slow death for the media. Sorry state of affairs I must say.

I guess this is only because Citibank is a global name far bigger is size & brand value than Citi Grp. So obviously the media has much more "masala" to bite on in the former's case. They very well know that people won't change the TV channel if its news of a bank scam because almost 75-80% of the population has a savings account in India but not necessarily this 75-80% invests hard-earned money in a fraud company. Hence majority of people watching the news will jump over to the next channel to find something more interesting. This simply means loss of TRP & revenue for the news channel. Doesn't make any commercial sense for them! General population will simply think of City Grp scam as any other normal scam happening in India.

Makes sense?
8th jan 2011
Dear members,

It just occurred to me after seeing reams in print on the Rs.300 cr
citibank scam. Contrast this with the thousands of crores swindled by
Masood; yet there has hardly been any sensational coverage by the
print or TV media. Other than Mr Unni no other journo even seems to be
bothered about the plight of lakhs of investors. But for the efforts
of Mr Vedant, our group wouldn't have got anywhere close to where we
are today, though there is still a long way before we see a fraction
of what we have invested back in our hands. On the other hand, today's
TOI says that the police have started taking action to attach Mr
Puri's (of the the Citibank scam) properties. Why this step-motherly
attitude by the authorities towards us?

City Limo chief will spend a year in jail: Enforcement Directorate

S M Masood, chairman of City Limouzines, will remain in jail for a year over foreign exchange violations, officials of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) told TOI. He has also been accused of duping thousands of small-time investors who put in their savings in his investment schemes that offered 48% returns.

ED, which investigates foreign exchange violations, had probed the company's alleged violations in connection with Rs 300-crore diamond exports to Dubai. Based on these investigations, over a month ago, the Union government detained him under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act (COFEPOSA). The Act is invoked against those who indulge in smuggling.

Masood will be lodged at Central Jail in Jaipur. ED officials said scrutiny of documents revealed that the buyer in Dubai and the party who has remitted the amount were different. The exports were effected in 2008 and the ED probe revealed that the suppliers of diamonds, as claimed by the company, denied any such transaction. Masood challenged the COFEPOSA order in the Delhi high court but it was dismissed, an ED official said.

Investors across the country have been duped by City Limouzines and its sister concern, City Realcom, promising huge returns on their investments. Investors were promised a return of 48% but in mid-2009, the cheques issued by the company started bouncing leading to panic among investors. Through loans and money collected from investors, the company bought vehicles and gave them on hire. According to the scheme, the investors were offered monthly returns for five years and at the end of the period, the vehicles were given to them.
==========
hello mr. vedant rajput, i saw today times of india, carrying the news article about the conman of the last decade, masood will be in jail for one more year, as previously told by you. i wish that permanently he should be in jail only, as he will have his free food and clothing there, provided by the goverment, again with taxpayers money. masoood is lucky one way. ne need not to earn for his livelihood. first he had our investment money and taken food with that money. now in jail he is again fed by the govt. with our money. what a nice situation. now, let us make one thing clear in this forum. he should not come out of jail, in his lifetime. ensure that.kv.

Filing claims with the Official Liquidator

A lot of you folks are asking the same questions. Please take note of the following points:

1. A detailed check list on how to file a claim for city limouzine, city realcom and city hospitality will be published by the official liquidator in the next few days. 2. There is no urgency to file a claim, however you must file a claim once the notice is posted on the bombay high court website. Please keep checking this link for details:
http://bombayhighcourt.nic.in/site/company/dispnotice.html
3. The claim process will take a very long time. If you are under the assumption, that by filing a claim, you will get your outstanding funds immediately, you are wrong. This process could take more than 5 years.
4. The official liquidator, with the help of investigating agencies has to liquidate all assets of the companies (auction off) and then pay proceeds to the investors, or in this case creditors to the company. As you all know, the amount of Sayed Masood families personal and City Group's corporate assets located in India is negligible to pay even 10% of the outstanding amounts back to investors after liquidation. We are in the process of locating hidden assets overseas and helping authorities in India and abroad with the investigation, so that the investors can get back as much as possible of their tainted investment in this company.
5. Hiring investigators in foreign countries is an extremely time consuming and expensive process which is still being done since we started about 1 year ago. This process will continue and we will keep locating bank accounts, foreign companies, assets disposed off illegally and more by the Masood family. Just today we received new leads from the Bahamas and Costa Rica that we are looking into.
6. The letter rogatory of ED has also been sent to Ministry of External Affairs to start official foreign investigations in the US and a few other countries.
7. Once again, this is a lengthy process but we will put a successful closure on this at some point. I know most of you want your money back today itself, as much as I do, but reality is far from that. Unless we don't fight for our money, we will get nothing. We have seen this for the last 1 year.
So, please do not keep asking the same questions. Any important and useful info will be posted on this group immediately. I am trying to see how investors across India can file claims in Mumbai by post or courier. I am trying to find answers on City Realcom, City Hospitality, City Limouzine and other City company claims as well. You will have answers in the due course. Please be patient and continue to monitor this group for updates.
Hope this update helps.

I can only caution investors. Rest is upto them. They have already lost enough, so if they want to blow away more money- who I am to stop them? There are such associations in mumbai, delhi, hyderabad and even in chennai. I have been doing this for over a year now but investors still fall in such traps. What can one do?

Vedant
=============
Dear Vedant,
It has been brought to our notice that few associations are charging 2,500 per file and promising that since they already had deal with official liquidator only those who give that money would get their investment money back.
My friend has 16 files and he was demanded 40,000 Rs/- with above words.I pity the investors(who are already cheated) who still become pray to these promises and giving the money to fill their stomachs and quench their thirst.
It's a serious cheating attempt as SMS to this effect to meet the association member to collect money has already been sent to all the investors here in Hyderabad.Please make a note of this.

Complaints pour in against car rental firm - HT News

The number of complaints in the City Limouzine scam has swelled to over 40,000. The economic offences wing (EOW), which is investigating the case, says the the number of people coming forward is increasing every day. According to an investigator, a Class I civic officer approached the EOW on December 20 after he was told that those affected may get refund of their amount. The prime accused in the case, SM Masood, chairman of the group, has promised the court that he is willing to pay back the due amount.
“The civic official approached us as he believed that this would be true and if he doesn’t lodge his complaint then he may lose out on the money,” an officer said on condition of anonymity, as he is not authorised to speak to the media.
“We are taking every complaint and adding it to the FIR and we are getting fresh complaints frequently even now,” the officer said, adding, “We will file the second supplementary charge sheet in the case in a few days as we have gathered more evidence against the accused.”
Sanjay Saxena, additional commissioner of police, EOW, told Hindustan Times that the investigations were still going on in the case. “We have been feeding in all the complaints, it must have reached 40,000 by now,” he said.
The EOW had arrested Masood on February 4, 2010, from the outskirts of New Delhi. Masood had duped thousands of investors across the country of several crores of rupees by offering returns as high as 48% through several schemes. Two of the popular schemes were operated through City Limouzine and its sister concern City Realcom.
For instance, on an investment of Rs 97,000, the company offered depositors Rs 4,000 every month for five years. The amount collected by the company was to be used to buy Maruti Omnis, which were to be registered in the names of the investors.
The investors were to be paid the profit from the income generated by giving the vehicles on hire. At the end of the five-year period, the vehicles were to be returned to the investors.
However, after a couple of years, the cheques issued by the company started bouncing and the investors were not given their returns.
Masood is currently lodged in Jaipur jail. Five other accused, including his wife, have been arrested in the case.

Shri Vedant ji. Congratulations and happy celebrations to U for
winning the case. Pl. don't leave city realcom investors alone for
taking them their money.We were thinging that the decision is for all
city schemes investors.Help us.
======================
The name of the official liquidator is Mr. Rama Rao. If a claim or a complaint has been filed with EOW's or police stations across India, no new claim with liquidator is necessary at present. There will be a newspaper ad outlining details. This is only for City Limouzine. Status for City Realcom is still the same.

The liquidator will take into consideration all property bought by Masood and the directors with investors funds.

US authorities have updated ED that Chand Masood has disposed off her properties to a shell company from Costa Rica. This development is being currently investigated as well.
They will be liquidated by the official liquidator. All assets attached by EOW and ED will come into the picture. There are a few overseas assets like property and cash with Chand and Jabeen Masood, diamond traders etc which will also be used.

They will not liquidate only city limouzine. They will group all companies and take all assets and liquidate. Does that answer your question?
City Realcom will follow the same fate is my guess and so will all the other City companies.
City Realcom will have to go into liquidation or will be pushed into it by ROC!
vedant
===============
Masood is in Jaipur and Geeta is in Delhi.

Investors across India will be handled by one liquidator, who is Mr. Rama Rao.
Most of you are asking the same questions. The ad will be published in Free Press Journal and Maharashtra Times. It will be posted on this group for everyone to see and take action.
An investor needs to file a similar petition in Mumbai High Court for wind up of City Realcom, City Hospitality, Ryewood Retreat, Kanu Reality, Andes Reality, City Airlines, City Money, Babasaheb Pratishthan etc. All flats, properties etc should be liquidated.
All those of you who have paid money to associations- should tell their leaders to use your money, which they have already taken and file these petitions.
Yes- you can file your complaint at EOW unit 5, behind Azad Maidan Police Station in Mumbai.

Madoff investor's widow to return $7.2bn

customers might recover 50% OF THEIR INVESTMENTs

London: THE estate of the late Jeffry Picower, a former investor in Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme, has agreed to hand over $7.2 billion.
It is by far the largest amount recovered by Irving Picard, the trustee acting for investors who got burned in Madoff's Ponzi scheme, and brings the total available to his victims to nearly $10b, roughly half the total thought to have been lost by investors. The settlement was arrived at after months of negotiations with lawyers for Picower's estate and the extraordinary intervention of his widow, Barbara, who said that her husband had been "committed to overcoming the devastation resulting from Bernard Madoff's fraud by reaching a fair and generous settlement".
US attorney Preet Bharaba announced that the seized billions would be distributed "as fast as humanly possible." Although 72-year-old Madoff squandered about 65billion dollars on paper, the actual cash losses amounted to about 20billion dollars. The windfall was recovered from the estate of philanthropist Jeffry Picower, who drowned after having a heart attack in the swimming pool of his beach front Palm Beach, Florida mansion in October, 2009.
Picower was a philanthropist and investor who died in 2009 of a heart attack while swimming at his home in Florida. He had been sued by special trustee Irving Picard for more than $7 billion, an amount Picard said represented improper profits taken from Madoff's operation. Federal officials said Picower invested a total of $619 million with Madoff and withdrew $7.8 billion starting in the 1970s until December 2008.
The $7.2billion figure is the estimated amount of bogus profits he drew from his Madoff accounts in the two decades since he first invested with the company. The money was supposedly made from stock trades, but investigators maintain it was simply stolen from other investors.

Do not lose your faith to god. Leave all your problems towards him. All work done by him , he explain in Geeta. We are his employee and work according to his direction. Whate ever you did it was definetely his wish to do that job by you. He will look after all these issue. You have to do one thing and just calm and rethink what are the options you have in which you can earn money for your EMI. If you will think deeply round about you definetely there will be solution but you have to search it. Don't talk to sell any part of body to someone for money. God given you beautiful body parts to do good job, not to sell his creation. That much emi is not more , If you see the businessman they have to pay more than that but slowly build your faith and do somebusiness oppurtunityand something work in which you can earn money without investment and fast.

Hi, I was totally fed up with 9 banks harassing me for emi's. You dont know what it feels like to have so many pple coming to your door asking for their money and making court cases--without the neighbours knowing--I have managed to do this and even prevented them going to my wife's office and getting her salary attached-the loans are mostly in her name. My close family has given me interest free loans of almost 12 lakhs with which I have managed to settle and now 6 banks remain--my total outstanding in August 2009 was 32 lakhs --today it stands at 15.50 lakhs. In this one horrible year I have sold everything of value to pay the banks back--I have lost interst in EVERYTHING that I used to like, I never smile, I get angry on my wife and kids, I haven't had sex from August 2009!!, etc etc. This is all my stupid fault--I even went to kill my self 3 times , but God pulled me back all 3 times. The pressure on the banks wanting to attach my house and fearing my wife's office wud come to know (shes in a major fin co -in which it is illegal to invest in such schemes)- she cud lose her job, etc--so u see the pressure on my self has just been too much!! That is why i decided to end it all by selling my body parts---but at last the situation has slightly improved and i have (by the grace of my Lord Jesus ) given up that stupid idea. So at least now u can believe me. p.s.How can u say do not pay the banks? Pls give advice on this. Thanks for your concern.
Regards James.

This is a very long shot. However I have given the info to Abhimanyu. Lets see what transpires. Masood's extended family from Saudi is in the picture and till this does not stop, Masood will be distributing currency to every police officer that comes his way. The good thing is police will take his money and at the same time not extend any privileges to him, as the police themselves have invested in his tainted company.
Vedant
have filed more than 35 cheque bounce case till date on few companies and one was on a politician as well.I have won
all the cases and recovered my money with interest and lawyer fees.Bank accounts are frozen and there are no other liquid
assets that doesn't mean masood doesn't have any money he must be paying bribe in jail and fees to his lawyers.I have filed
cases before expiry of cheques.my hearing for 9 cases(27 cheques) is on 19/01/2010 and 2 cases(6 cheques) is on 23/02/2010.
cheque bounce case take few time but i think bounced cheque amount can be recovered.The only help my lawyer need is masood
current location.He said if we can tell his current location to court then court will send saman to that particular jail and
its necessary for police to present him in court.can Anyone tell me his current location ??
you can call me as well for any information.

Abhimanyu,

Please called PI Likhama Ram in Vidhayakpuri Police Station in Jaipur at 9928075080, 9024675080. Masood is currently in custody there. Call soon, as he will be arrested by ED in the next few days and taken to Mumbai.
If you need Geeta Razzaki, she is with Delhi EOW.
I hope this helps.

Hello dear
I have gone through the full details of papers provided by one
investor from Hyderabad. I have already written on the subject just 5
or 6 days before. on CP 234 of 2010 which was posted for hearing
26/11/2010.

Dear only Provisional Liquidator was appointed in that order dated
8/10/2010. I have put full order copy also.
What you mean Provisional Liquidator:
A provisional liquidator may be appointed after a petition to
'wind-up' a company has been presented to the court. This may be
because there is concern that assets are at risk or because it is not
in the 'public interest' for the company to continue trading. The
assets and potential creditors are therefore protected until the court
hears the winding-up petition. Alternatively, a provisional liquidator
may be appointed to preserve a business until its financial affairs
can be brought into order. The provisional liquidator will carry out
duties as set out in the court's order in dealing with the company's
assets and affairs.

It is a First Stage only It can fall also if Application on which it
is made is not succeed.
Duties of the Official Receiver as Provisional Liquidator
During a provisional liquidation the Official Receiver carries out
duties as set out in the court order. These duties vary depending on
the company concerned but they usually involve:
• Protecting assets
• Safeguarding the company's records
• Investigating the company's affairs only in so far as it is
necessary to discover, protect and recover assets

What will happen if the Petition to put the Company in Liquidation has
been Dismissed:
The company will be returned to the control of the Director(s). All
property will be returned to the trading premises and any assets that
were being held by the Official Receiver will be released back to the
company.

So it is too early to say any thing, It is only Provisional Liquidator
not the Official liquidator, when any application for liquidation is
before High court , It is duty of High Court after hearing the matter
to appoint Provisional Liquidator to protect the interest of Investors
and Company assets from misused so they appoint provisional
Liquidator.
rest what people are doing in some cities that is their own thinking.
What is outcome of CP 234 of 2010 anybody who attended Court Today at
Mumbai high court can putup.

Thanks

Advocate
High Court of Madras

Dear Mr. Vedantji,

In Bangalore one Mr. Muttanna has conducted meeting of all the investors in Bangalore on all the three preceeding Sundays and has suggested that we should again lodge complaint with the police though I have lodged in the month of April and have an acknowledgement from the police. Also a sum of Rs.200/- was charged for lodging the complaint through Human rights people over and a sum of Rs.100/- which was contributed on 7th of this month. To I received a SMS asking us to submit again all the papers with another sum of Rs.300/- towards the expenses per file so that the notarised application in the format received by him from Mumbai can be submitted. It is very unfortunate on my part that I have retired over 9 years and what ever life time savings of my family members including my old mother, sisters and other relatives were gradually brought to Citi over a period of three years. We all of are in great touble. For The present I Cannot afford to pay
Rs.300/- per file. Will you please throw some light on this issue immediately. The deadline for filling up the notarized format is today. Please comment on this subject immediately. Thanks.

DEAR SIR,
1000'S OF INVESTORS WILL GHERAO GOVERNOR, RBI HQ, Registrar of companies, Regional Director and Chairman SEBI, ON 30/11/10 AT 3 PM, FAILURE OF RBI TO TAKE ACTION INSPITE OF REPEATED COMPLAINTS OF INVESTORS OF ILLEGAL DEPOSIT MOBILISATION BY VARIOUS COMPANIES .

EVERY DAY IN THE NEWSPAPERS WE HEAR OF COMPANIES CLOSING DOWN


1] City Limouzine-
2] Metro Cruize line
3] Aims Limouzine
4] Naik Ventures
5] Sigma
6] Aurum
7] Om Shri Sainath
8] Symbiosis
9] UNIQUE FINANCE
10] ARYARUP TOURISM AND CLUB RESORT
we would also highlight the complaints brought to your office fraud amounting to 1000's of crores

1] Sahara Group- even now doing illegal deposit mobilization to the tune of 1000's of crores - real estate bonds, housing bonds, fixed deposits, etc which matures beyond June,30 2011, even when Sahara India Finance is an RNBC registered with RBI and collecting illegal deposits in the name of other Group Companies believing the depositors to believe that they have RBI permissions as RNBC/NBFC ........... complaint with documents submitted in RBI on 15th Oct' 2010

2] Pearls Group -PACL doing illegal deposit mobilisation under the guise of selling agricultural land......... complaints with documents submitted to RBI on 15th Oct'2010

3] Pancard Club Ltd doing illegal deposit mobilization under the guise of selling room nights........ Complaint with documents submitted to RBI on 30th Sept' 2010

the above list is not exhaustive, there are around more than 25 companies that have closed down this year and investors have lost around 1000's of crores of their hard earned money. More than 50% of the investors form the most poorest of poor. All livelihood have been lost and they are reduced to penury.
A] We request that the CGM -DNBS take up the matter with Governor/ Vigilance/ CBI anti corruption as to how the name of the office bearer has been leaked to Pancard club Ltd, or 1000's of investors would protest outside RBI at a given date.
We wish to state the following
1] Complaints have come to the cell that Pancard club Ltd is indulging in illegal deposit mobilization running to the tune of 1000's of crores .
2] Matter was brought to the notice of RBI
3] CELL was asked to follow up with Mr Raj Gopalan GM- regional office-RBI
4] GM- Mr Raj Gopal informed the Cell that EOW Mumbai has been asked to investigate.
5] Subsequently an RTI was filed to get all copies concerning Pancard club ltd with RBI.
we request you to immediately take cognizance of the offence of leakage of names to the said company.
B] We would draw to your attention that investors have suffered a lot because of the indifference of concerned authorities where illegal deposit mobilization is concerned
1] City Limouzine-
2] Metro Cruize line
3] Aims Limouzine
4] Naik Ventures
5] Sigma
6] Aurum
7] Om Shri Sainath
8] Symbiosis
9] Unique finance
10] Aryarup tourism and club resorts
we would also highlight the complaints brought to your office fraud amounting to 1000's of crores

1] Sahara Group- even now doing illegal deposit mobilization to the tune of 1000's of crores - real estate bonds, fixed deposits, housing bonds etc which matures beyond June,30 2011, even when Sahara India Finance is an RNBC registered with RBI and collecting illegal deposits in the name of other Group Companies believing the depositors to believe that they have RBI permissions as RNBC/NBFC ........... complaint with documents submitted in RBI on 15th Oct' 2010

2] Pearls Group -PACL doing illegal deposit mobilisation under the guise of selling agricultural land......... complaints with documents submitted to RBI on 15th Oct'2010

3] Pancard Club Ltd doing illegal deposit mobilization under the guise of selling room nights........ Complaint with documents submitted to RBI on 30th Sept' 2010

the above list is not exhaustive, there are around more than 25 companies that have closed down this year and investors have lost around 1000's of crores of their hard earned money. More than 50% of the investors form the most poorest of poor. All livelihood have been lost and they are reduced to penury.
All this when RBI could have taken cognizance of illegal deposit mobilization and could have informed the concerned State officials to take penal action against such companies.
The RBI -DNBS itself portrays what should be done to protect the small and gullible investors. most of the agents of these companies who do deposit mobilization claim that they have got RBI and SEBI approvals. Even when the investors have brought it to the notice of the RBI. The RBI has failed to protect the investors or take appropriate actions against such companies.
C] We would draw your attention to the following powers drawn by RBI
Regulatory and Supervisory Framework
The RBI Act as amended in January 1997 provides for, among other things,
· Entry norms for Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and prohibition of deposit acceptance by unincorporated bodies with some exceptions
· Powers of the Bank to issue asset side regulations
· Compulsory registration, maintenance of liquid assets and reserve fund
· Directions on acceptance of deposits and prudential regulation
· Comprehensive regulation of deposit taking NBFCs
· Punitive action like cancellation of Certificate of Registration, prohibition from acceptance of deposits and alienation of assets, filing criminal complaints and winding up petitions in extreme cases, appointment of RBI observers in certain cases
Developmental Activities
· Co-ordination with State Governments for State Legislations to curb unauthorised and fraudulent activities in this sector
· Publicity for depositors' education and awareness, workshops / seminars of trade and industry organizations, depositors' associations
· Informal Advisory Group as an aid to decision making
· Promotion of Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) of NBFCs
· Training programmes for personnel of NBFCs, State Governments and Police Officials

shocking to mention that RBI -DNBS has failed to correct , coordinate implement all the inherent power it draws to protect the rights of the investors

It has not even informed the state Police-EOW etc, failed to warn the depositors through the media nor taken deterrent steps to penalize the fraudulent companies , nor formulate and initiate the winding up operations of such fraudulent companies.



request you to immediately act failing which the 1000's of investors would resort protest outside RBI HQ SHORTLY on 30/11/10 at 3 pm

I live in Buffalo, NY. My brother invested in Delhi. I have given 3 interviews with USA Today and they are most likely carrying the story about this ponzi scheme on Friday or the weekend edition. I will post a link when its published. I have also received your phone number and will call this evening regarding Fin Agency. I also plan to visit the Buffalo F B I Field office and file an official report against the Miami company and Masood's family in this country. We need to kick them out of here.

What good will building online reputation do for her? Instead of coming out clean, she is using every possible tactic to clear her name. What better way that to call herself a yoga enthusiast. By the way, where are you based?
Just yesterday I received a call from Agency about this and I have provided them with all the information on this family including the names of Eagle Softwares etc which feeded black commissions to Chand Masood. They wanted to know if there were more US investors and I gave them a list of about 35 people. They are going to take video statements from all local investors, so you can certainly help. Let me know if you are from the US.

People who have filed complaints with ROC are receiving the letters. I am trying to get in touch with the appropriate person to get details.

If the company is in liquidation, media should have picked up this info.
Vedant.

This letter has been sent to many investors, especially those from this group who filed complaints with ROC.

I am trying to figure out the next course of action. I know that ROC is working on starting a legal action against the company and its directors.
