Band Of Baroda Rs 6,000-cr forex scam


Bank of Baroda had a tough day when CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out searches at its branches in connection with the alleged Rs 6100 crore black money which was transferred to Hong Kong. All together six people have been arrested in what is now known as the Forex scam.
Joint team of CBI and ED conducted searches at three premises including residences of Bank of Baroda’s AGM SK Garg and Jainesh Dubey, foreign exchange officer with the bank. As perThe Indian Express report, CBI said the two officials have been found to be involved in the illegitimate transfer of the amount to Hong Kong. Accounts of 60 companies opened at the Ashok Vihar branch of the bank in Delhi, a relatively new branch are under scanner.
The case was registered after the bank found unusual remittances during an audit of its accounts.  CBI had registered the case on a complaint from the bank under the sections of Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Corruption Act against 59 current account holders and unknown bank officials and private persons.  CBI had found documents related to the illegitimate money transfers.
As per the published report in Economic Times, the bank too is probing the matter independently and will see if its software systems were adequate and lived up to the promise of sensing suspicious transactions.
The new branch of Bank of Baroda had obtained permission to accept forex transactions in 2013 after which, forex business of its Delhi branch sore up to RS 21,529 crore. The bank is now functioning without an MD and CEO. Though the government has appointed VBHC Value Homes managing director and CEO PS Jayakumar as the new managing director of Bank of Baroda in August, he is yet to take charge. Bank of Baroda detected a Rs 350 crore bill discounting irregularity and initiated an investigation into the matter. The bank discounted bills worth Rs 350 crore but the payment never came.
MODUS OPERANDI
The scam is traced to HDFC bank accounts. Prima facie it seems that two different types of transactions took place, but they can be related.
In the first transaction, dummy companies were opened in Hong Kong. The exporter, who had foreign exchange black money stashed abroad, used these entities as clients who sent the black money to India to make the transaction look genuine. Government on receiving the foreign exchange disbursed the duty drawback money to the exporter since the entire transaction was closed. Government uses the duty drawback scheme to promote exports in which refund is given by the government to recoup the amount paid by way of custom and excise duties on the raw materials used and service tax used for the manufacture of exported goods.
As per the report in Business Standard, the problem as ED states is that the traders evaded custom duties and over-claim duties to generate slush funds. Through this mechanism, two purposes were achieved. First, the unaccounted black money residing abroad come to India as white money and the exporter also generates extra income by duping the government through its own export incentive schemes.
Bank of Baroda in its communication to the  stock exchanges said that between May 2014 and August 2105, 5853 outward foreign remittances of Rs 3,500 crore for the purpose of advance remittances was recorded. Funds were sent through 38 current accounts to various overseas parties numbering to 400, based in UAE and  Hong Kong.
The modus operandi in this transaction was that a number of current accounts were opened in the Ashok Vihar branch. As per our banking system, a remittance of up to $100,000 is automatically cleared. The money launderers smartly exploited this loophole to pass under the radar. They selected the commodities which are prone to cancellations on account of quality or sharp price fluctuations like fruits and rice.
ED arrested Kamal Kalra, working with the foreign exchange division of HDFC bank  and three other individuals –  Chandan Bhatia, Gurucharan Singh Dhawan and Sanjay Aggarwal (none of them working with the bank).
ED said that Kalra was helping Bhatia and Aggarwal in remitting the amount through BOB against a commission of 30-50 paise per dollar remitted abroad.
Bhatia’s role was in forming companies in India and remitting money to the companies based in Hong Kong, Dhawan, an exporter of garments helped Bhatia. He allegedly obtained duty drawback to the tune of Rs 15 crore in a short period of 6-7 months.
RULES THAT WERE NOT FOLLOWED
The entire scam came out of cocoon because the banks officials pointed out the suspicious transactions to the investigating agencies. Banks are expected to raise exceptional transaction report and suspicious transaction report with the RBI in case of discrepancies. The delay in pointing out these discrepancies resulted in the scam gaining momentum.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
Since the operations started in August 2014, its planning would have taken a few months earlier, which coincides with the coming to power of the new government.  The advance remittances to import scheme has been put to use transfer black money out of India on fears of it being detected.
One needs to know, whose money it is and how such a huge amount went unnoticed.

charlie Hebdo " Maybe A rise for the 3rd worldwar "

The destructive attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris has provided a HUGE wakeup call to the global world.  Of course, many have used the occasion to give justification to the complete opposite message of which the Universe intended to deliver by this shocking episode of violence.
People are now ignorantly marching in favor of supporting one person’s right to profoundly disrespect another person’s religion and/or their religious figureheads.  This is utter madness.  And the people operating under the such a spell of delusion and deception simply have no clue.
Largest ralley in french history after 2nd world war.


When a human being releases those words into the ethers, there will always be a cause and effect.  There will always be a reaction — positive or negative — and sometimes seemingly neutral from those expressions, verbal or otherwise, especially when they have been made public in a big way. It doesn’t matter whether those communications are vocalized utterances or digital writings, colorful drawings or sculptural renditions, bathroom wall graffiti or newspaper cartoons.

Speech, and writing, can have major consequences, and far-reaching ramifications, both good and bad.  And the only way to guarantee the good is to use forms of expression that are respectful and non-offensive … to everyone concerned.  The greater we depart from that simple moral code the more karmic blowback we can expect.
Does anyone really expect that you can can say or write anything you want without consequences?
What total mass delusion such an incorrect understanding truly is — that you can say or write anything you want!  Millions have been manipulated to march in the interest of shredding other peoples’ religions, their religious practices as well as their deities and saints.  They have been somehow deceived to believe that this is the way the Universe really works???  Like that’s okay!
Some actually believe that it’s perfectly okay to depict the religious figureheads of the world’s major religions IN THE MOST VILE pictorial representations imaginable.  They really seem to think that this behavior is acceptable.  It’s their right of Free Speech!
No, that’s not Free Speech!
With the right of Free Speech comes a tremendous degree of personal responsibility.  An awesome amount of personal accountability accompanies the freedom of speech, as a matter of natural law.  Do you get it yet?
You speak it, or write it; you own it.  And, you had better accept the results of your actions.  Because if you don’t, each subsequent foray into the world of utterance or writing will produce a greater and more dramatic episode of karmic blowback.  Got it?

The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword
Now we come to the crux of the matter.  Those who use their pens and paintbrushes, keyboards and smartphones to trample on the religions and holy beings of other cultures are being manipulated to do so.  They don’t even know this, but it’s true.  They also fail to realize that their penmanship and/or artistry is being used to start a full-blown world war.  They ignorantly do the bidding of those powers behind the scenes who use them to advance the “Clash of Civilizations”.

Maybe the Rise of third world war

This is just one of the early skirmishes for the rise of the 3rd world war.
why we doing things which create hate between two different society, culture, religion. Humanity mean to give happiness to others to help other humans. Humanity is not to hurt other people sentiments just for fun. 

"A FUN WHICH DON'T HURT THE FEELINGS AND SENTIMENTS OF OTHERS IS TRUE FUN. ELSE IT'S   FUN JUST TO MAKE OTHERS HATE US."
FREEDOM OF SPEECH TRUELY MEAN TO SHARE YOUR SPEECH WITH CARING THE SENTIMENTS  OF THE REST OF THE WORLD.

OTHERWISE!!.  We all will face a bad consequences. We must leave a good environment   for the future generation. We must leave the history of war for our future to read.

10:42 am: Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalitha reaches special court in Bangalore
After an 18-year court battle, special Judge John Michael Cunha John Michael Cunha convicted 66-year old Jayalalithaa, who is general secretary of the AIADMK.
He held Jayalalithaa and three others - Sasikala and her relatives V.N. Sudhakaran and J. Illavarasi guilty. Sasikala is the close aide of Jayalalithaa.
Pronouncing the order, the special Judge held Jayalalithaa guilty of amassing wealth disproportionate to known sources of her income under Sections 109 and 120 (b) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, said Special Public Prosecutor G. Bhavani Singh. Her aide Sasikala and two others have also been convicted. 
"The quantum of sentence will be decided by the judge later, which can range from two to seven years," Singh added.
Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, who had filed a petition in 1996 against her, told senior Headlines Today jounalist, Jayalalithaa, who had the best lawyers, "should know corruption doesn't pay". "The judge is very upright. We are fighting against corruption," he said. CPI leader D. Raja told Headlines Today that Jayalalithaa will have to "step down". He added though that there was no immediate threat to the government, it has to be seen who is going to be nominated the next leader. Organisation Secretary of DMK T.K.S. Elangovan said "justice was delayed, not denied".   
Earlier, there was media blackout in many parts of Tamil Nadu, while there was a power cut in many parts of Chennai.
As the charges were being read against all the accused, unprecedented security was put up around the DMK ministers' residences in Chennai. Jayalalithaa's supporters burnt the posters of DMK leaders and Swamy. The Tamil Nadu chief minister on Tuesday had filed two more defamation cases against Swamy for his comments on Twitter ridiculing her.     
Reports said her supporters clashed with cops even as they were shown distributing sweets in anticipation of a win in the favour of their leader.  
Amid palpable tension, the 65-year-old AIADMK chief set out from her Poes Garden residence in Chennai at 8.40 am towards the airport along with her close aide Sasikala Natarajan, another accused in the case, besides Ilavarasi and flew to Bangalore in a special aircraft. See Pictures
The three other accused are Jayalalithaa's associate V.K. Sasikala, Sasikala's nephew V. N. Sudhakaran and sister-in-law J. Illavarasi.
Special Court Judge Michael Dicunha will be delivering the verdict soon at the makeshift court created at Bangalore central prison at Parappana Agrahara on the outskirts of Bangalore city, which has been provided with multi-layer security cover.
The Bangalore city police have promulgated prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC as a precautionary measure ahead of the court delivering its verdict.
The case was transferred to Bangalore's Special Court in 2003 by the Supreme Court on a petition filed by DMK leader K. Anbazhagan, who had expressed doubts over conduct of fair trial in Tamil Nadu as Jayalalithaa ruled the state then.
"We have deployed about 2,000 security personnel in and around the central jail and about 5,000 additional forces have been positioned across the city to maintain law and order and ensure peace," Additional Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar said.
Police have also installed CCTV cameras at vantage points in the area to check movement of people and vehicles towards the jail.
As a precautionary measure, inter-state bus services between Bangalore and Hosur across the border in Tamil Nadu have been suspended since 6am till late afternoon.
THE GENESIS AND THE AFTERMATH
During her first tenure (1991-1996) as the chief minister, Jayalalithaa had announced that she would take just Re.1 as her salary.
The charge against her was that her assets were around Rs 3 crore in 1991 and had grown to around Rs 66 crore between 1991-1996.
The AIADMK was voted out in 1996 as it was perceived to be corrupt.
Incidentally, DMK MP T.M. Selvaganapathy lost his Rajya Sabha seat this year after he was convicted in the cremation shed case by a CBI court. He was the local administration minister in Jayalalithaa's government when the scam broke. He later switched sides to the DMK.
The disproportionate assets case filed in 1996 by the then DMK government led by M. Karunanidhi saw several twists and turns during its course.
When the AIADMK returned to power in 2001 several witnesses turned hostile. On a petition filed by DMK leader K. Anbazhagan in the apex court, the case was transferred to Bangalore from Chennai.
Since then, the case meandered, with several petitions filed by the defence and several adjournments.
Over 255 prosecution witnesses and over 95 defence witnesses have been heard in the case.
Jayalalithaa was also summoned by the trial court in 2011 and answered over 1,300 questions posed to her by the judge.
This is not the first time in her political career that Jayalalithaa has been convicted by a court. In 2000, a trial court sentenced Jayalalithaa for three years and two years imprisonment in two cases.
The big question now is who will head the government in the absence of Jayalalithaa. Again this is not the first time such a question has cropped up.
In 2001, Jayalalithaa had to step down as a chief minister following a Supreme Court verdict which held that she cannot hold the office after being convicted for criminal offences.
However, she made O. Panneerselvam, a senior minister in her government, as the chief minister.
In 2002, Jayalalithaa again became the chief minister after being acquitted by the Madras High Court. She was later elected from Andipatti constituency.
AIADMK leaders do not rule out re-run of such an arrangement.
Friends and foes are in awe of Jayalalithaa, who is the tallest Brahmin politician in a state where anti-Brahminism is a part of political discourse.
Even her critics admit that Jayalalithaa is a fighter and has an iron grip over her party.
The judgment against her was delivered in a state where she was born.
Born in what was then known as Mysore on Feb 2, 1948, Jayalalithaa moved to Chennai with her mother, who started acting in movies.
Jayalalithaa studied at the Bishop Cotton Girl's High School in Bangalore and another Christian convent, Church Park, in Chennai. A bright student, Jayalalithaa ventured into acting and made her debut at the age of 16 in a Kannada movie.
Her first Tamil movie was the memorable "Vennira Aadai". But it was the grand success of "Aayirathil Oruvan" pairing with the legendary M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) that turned Jayalalithaa into a leading light of Tamil movie world.
She has paired with almost all the leading Tamil heroes. She has acted in over 100 movies, mostly in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
A charismatic leader who is at home in Tamil, English and Hindi (a rare quality in Tamil Nadu politics), Jayalalithaa has also sung many songs and written several stories. But when she entered politics, few could have predicted her meteoric rise.
AIADMK founder-leader MGR made Jayalalithaa the party's propaganda secretary in the early 1980s. In 1984, she entered the Rajya Sabha.
Jayalalithaa, who chose never to marry, was elected to the Tamil Nadu assembly for the first time in 1989. Just two years later, she became the chief minister, sweeping the election of 1991 held in the wake of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's assassination.
She lost her huge mandate within five years amid corruption charges.
