Use technology to prevent diversion of funds, CVC tells banks

The Central Vigilance Committee (CVC) has asked banks to use technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), to create profiles and understand the lifestyle of borrowers in order to identify any transfers of funds at a later stage in the future, people familiar with the matter said. The highest security agency believes that a large number of high-value frauds occur not only because of the disregard of the lending system and procedures, but also because the banks have failed to monitor the use of loans.

“Banks are required to use artificial intelligence to track usage in order to send red flags and transfer funds in the event of any abnormalities in loan account operations. Thorough analysis is required, especially when overseas branches report large transfers,” one Said an official who asked not to be named. An investigation into high-value fraud cases reported in the past five or six years found that the defendant used public funds to buy bungalows, jets, helicopters, yachts, jewelry, high-end cars and real estate abroad, otherwise the money should have been used for loans.

The business activity mentioned. Vijay Mallya owns a luxury private jet and yachts, including one of the largest yachts in the world, a villa in Goa. According to reports, he organizes parties there, except in Britain, France and the United States, and the bank has been waiting for him to return the money.

He owed the Bank of India 900 billion rupees. Similarly, Nirav Modi (Nirav Modi) used bank funds for properties, such as Worli’s sea-facing apartment, a Rolls Royce worth 5 crore, an art collection worth billions of rupees, an apartment in New York And other countries (except for high-profile press conferences) for his brand. Mehul Choksi also transferred his money to the United States and Antigua and Barbuda, where he currently lives as a citizen. Nirav Modi and Choksi were accused of defrauding Punjab National Bank for 13,578 crore.

A second-class official stated that the bank’s failure to monitor and analyze these activities may help to alert on fraud at an early stage. One of the issues that CVC noticed when processing/approving loans was that the same official was appointed to different financial/sanction committees. “Another outstanding issue that CVC has noticed is that in the case of joint/multiple financing, the delays in fraud declarations by banks are considerable.

This not only allows the borrower to deceive the banking system to a large extent, but also gives him a considerable amount of time. Time erases the trace of money,” said the first official mentioned above. CVC has advised banks to “prioritize fraud prevention at all levels through the use of technology and careful inquiry. Even after lodged a complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation and other agencies, it also asked them to continue to pursue loans.
