First-ever EOW-administered repaymment to NSEL investors effected

The first every repayment, of Rs 300 million, to investors in the now-defunct National Spot Exchange (NSEL) in an arrangement by the city police's economic offences wing (EOW), has been made. The latter is one of the many probe agencies into the Rs 56-billion default in 2013 to the investors.There were 26 defaulting entities, after having borrowed from the investors, delacring they were unable to pay. Around Rs 5 bn has been repaid to the investors since the default but this is the first one via the EOW, which had attached properties of the defaulters and even promoters/directors of NSEL. According to sources, the EOW plans another Rs 1 bn of payment to the investors in the next two months. Around Rs 580 million is still with the EOW in an escrow account and it has asked the high court here for permission to distribute it. A few days earlier, the EOW had successfully auctioned five properties of Mohan India, one of the defaulters, getting Rs 400 mn. This money will be fully received ..
