ED Attaches Additional Rs 1400 Crore Assets Of Anil Ambani Group of Companies, Total Provisional Seizure Now Rs 9000 crore

In a significant escalation of its probe, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached fresh immovable properties belonging to Anil Ambani Group of Companies valued at approximately Rs 1400 crore. 

The latest order, issued after November 3, pushes the cumulative value of assets attached in the case to Rs 9000 crore, up from the earlier Rs 7500 crore. 

These properties are based in Navi Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, and Bhubaneswar. ANI reported, the properties were attached under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.

The agency’s action is part of an ongoing investigation involving the Anil Ambani Group, with the newly seized properties adding to the substantial provisional attachments already in place.

What Triggered the Massive Probe?

The ED’s investigation centres on large-scale fraudulent diversion of bank loans availed by several Reliance Anil Ambani Group entities, including Reliance Communications Ltd (RCom), Reliance Infrastructure Ltd, Reliance Power Ltd, Reliance Home Finance Ltd (RHFL) and Reliance Commercial Finance Ltd (RCFL). From 2010-12 onwards, these companies raised thousands of crores from Indian banks, of which Rs 19,694 crore remains outstanding even today. Five banks have already declared RCom’s loan accounts as fraud.

How the Funds Were Allegedly Misused

• ED findings reveal systematic evergreening of loans and diversion of funds:
• Over Rs 13,600 crore was used to evergreen existing loans.
• More than Rs 12,600 crore was routed to connected entities and related parties.
• Rs 1,800 crore was parked in fixed deposits and mutual funds, later liquidated and redirected to group companies.
• Massive misuse of bill discounting facilities to funnel money to sister concerns.
• Part of the funds was siphoned off abroad through foreign outward remittances.

All these activities were in clear violation of the loan sanction terms.
