Classification of accounts as fraud can have significant implications on the company's financial standing, reputation, and ongoing insolvency resolution process.
The classification of accounts as 'fraud' by a bank is a serious negative development for the company.
Reliance Communications Limited (RCOM) and its subsidiary Reliance Telecom Limited (RTL) have received letters from Canara Bank classifying their accounts, borrowers, and customers as 'fraud'. The bank has also ordered RCOM and RTL to be reported to the RBI for reflection in the Central Fraud Registry.
Both RCOM and RTL are currently undergoing corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The accounts in question pertain to the period prior to the commencement of CIRP. The resolution plans for both entities are awaiting approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench.
The company stated that under Section 32A of the Code, they are granted immunity from liability for offenses committed prior to CIRP upon the approval of the resolution plan. Legal advice is being sought regarding the way forward. The letters from Canara Bank are dated February 27, 2026, and were received by RCOM on March 06, 2026.
