Sambhv Steel Tubes Limited's subsidiary filed an FIR on January 16, 2026, alleging fraud in a land deal. An advance of ₹11.51 crore was paid, with ₹9.00 crore already recovered. The company is pursuing the refund of the remaining ₹2.51 crore and expects no penalty.
The litigation involves a significant amount of ₹11.51 crore, and while the company is pursuing recovery, the fraud allegation and the pending amount could have a medium-term impact on the company's financials and reputation.
The company is involved in a fraud case related to a land deal, which has led to a subsidiary filing an FIR. While a portion of the advance has been recovered, the pending amount and the allegation of fraud indicate a negative development.
Sambhv Steel Tubes Limited has disclosed the pendency of a material litigation concerning its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sambhv Tubes Private Limited. The subsidiary lodged a First Information Report (FIR) on January 16, 2026, at the Saraswati Nagar Police Station in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The FIR alleges fraud by counter-parties in a new land purchase located at Nevda, Chhattisgarh, involving the concealment of material encumbrances.
The company had paid an advance of ₹11.51 crore for the land. Of this amount, ₹6.00 crore has been received back via Demand Draft (DD), and ₹3.00 crore has been received via cheques as part payment. The remaining balance of ₹2.51 crore is under active follow-up for refund and is considered recoverable.
Based on the current assessment, no penalty or compensation outflow is expected. The company is actively pursuing the refund of the outstanding ₹2.51 crore. Any financial impact will depend on the outcome of the recovery process and will be accounted for and disclosed in accordance with applicable accounting standards if required. The disclosure was made promptly upon completion of an internal review, with the company stating that any delay in intimation was neither intentional nor deliberate.
