5-dodgy-firms-received-Rs-26000-cr-bank-loan.

It is still a mystery how these public sector banks granted loans to these tainted companies when investigations were being conducted under the provisions of criminal conspiracy (Section 120 B of IPC) and Section 13 D of the Prevention of Corruption Act, besides several court cases going on for the past two years on the validity of these telecom licences.

The banks had provided huge loans to these companies based only on the telecom licence paper.

The Department of Telecom is a party to most of these loans and controversial officers AK Srivastava and PK Mittal, who are under the CBI radar, are the signatories to these high-volume deals. “Without the consent of political masters, these officials won’t become signatories to such high-volume loans,” said a top DoT official.

According to the CAG report, the telecom licences and spectrum allotted to Swan (15), Unitech (22), Datacom (21), Loop (21) and STel (six) are illegal and require immediate cancellation as per the Department of Telecom guidelines.
