3i Infotech clarifies on eMudhra fraud case, confirms legal action
3i Infotech confirms legal action against eMudhra Limited following a forensic audit and a high-powered committee report into fraudulent transactions. The company states the action is in the interest of its 2,45,470 shareholders, aiming to recover losses incurred due to fraudulent disinvestment and redemption of preference shares.
Legal actions and fraud allegations can impact a company's reputation and financial standing, but the extent of the impact is yet to be determined. The company is taking steps to address it.
The announcement details a legal dispute and fraud allegations, which are serious but the company is taking proactive steps and clarifying its position. The outcome is uncertain, hence neutral.
3i Infotech Limited has issued a clarification regarding the fraud allegations in the matter of eMudhra Limited, responding to eMudhra's disclosure on February 4, 2026, and statements made during an investor conference call on February 6, 2026.
The company stated that the complaint filed with the Navi Mumbai Police was based on a comprehensive examination of fraudulent disinvestment of 3i Consumer Services Limited (now eMudhra Limited) and wrongful redemption of preference shares. The Board of Directors approved a detailed forensic audit report by M/s. Shridhar & Associates and obtained an independent legal opinion.
Based on these findings, an Independent High-Powered Committee was formed, comprising former Allahabad High Court Judge Dr. Justice Satish Chandra, former Law Secretary Dr. Reeta Vasishta, and former SEBI Executive Director Mr. B.N. Sahoo. This committee submitted its report after extensive discussions.
The Board decided to initiate legal action after evaluating the committee's recommendations. Although the current board and management were not in office during the transactions, they are aware of the fraudulent activities based on available records. The company also clarified that it refrained from permitting inspection of records due to the ongoing investigation and legal advice.
Addressing remarks made during eMudhra's conference call, 3i Infotech clarified that CA Uttam Prakash Agarwal, appointed as a Non-executive Independent Director by shareholders on May 12, 2022, and later as Non-executive Independent Chairman on December 10, 2023, is not related to 'SREI Infrastructure' as a shareholder of 3i Infotech. The company emphasized that it is a professionally managed entity without identifiable promoters and that the action is being taken in the interest of its 2,45,470 shareholders as of December 31, 2025, due to losses incurred from the fraudulent transactions.
3i Infotech will continue to update the stock exchanges on significant developments.
