NSEL investors forum seeks Maharashtra CM's support for Rs 1,950-crore settlement
File photo of Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis (PTI) NEW DELHI: The NSEL Investors Forum (NIF) has written to Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, seeking his support for a proposed one-time settlement worth Rs 1,950 crore between investors and the National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL). This long-awaited settlement aims to bring major relief to thousands of traders whose funds have remained stuck since the NSEL payment crisis of July 2013. In a letter addressed to the chief minister on June 19, the forum appealed to the state government to avoid any adverse actions that could hinder the settlement process. It stated that "any decent or negative response from the State/ Competent Authority/ EOW in the NCLT might derail or delay the settlement process." To facilitate a smooth resolution, the forum has requested the state government to designate a senior legal expert with expertise in company law to represent and guide the state's stance before the NCLT. "We humbly urge the chief minister to issue necessary directions to relevant authorities and departments to avoid any hasty or negative steps that may derail or delay the proposed settlement," the forum stated. The forum emphasized that after nearly 12 years of chasing various recovery mechanisms, a consensus has finally been achieved between NSEL and its investors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Adidas Three Shorts With 60% Discount, Limited Stock Available Original Adidas Shop Now Undo The proposed settlement scheme has been formally submitted under the Companies Act to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai, marking a major step toward closure for affected traders.

The NCLT has already admitted the company petition, with the final hearing scheduled for July 11. NSEL, supported by its parent company 63 moons technologies, filed the Scheme of Settlement before the NCLT to facilitate this one-time, amicable, and full-and-final resolution for the affected traders. The proposal itself originated from the NSEL Investors Forum (NIF), which represents a significant portion of the impacted trading community. This is not the first time NSEL and 63 moons have attempted to offer relief. In August 2013, they disbursed around Rs 179 crore to assist 7,053 smaller traders, each with outstanding amounts of less than Rs 10 lakh. PTI

GST dept rolls out week-long grand training for intel wing
1 2 3 4 T'puram: Despite the state's battered finances and a standing order against holding official training sessions in private venues, the state GST department has once again rolled out an extravagant week-long residential programme for its intelligence wing. This time, it is with a sanctioned cost of Rs 48.43 lakh and a conspicuous silence on accommodation details. The govt order, issued on Saturday, granted administrative sanction to hold the training from July 11 to 18 at Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology at Kakkanad near Kochi. The entire cost was drawn from the Plan Fund. However, like last year, the real story lay in what the order omitted — this time, the venue of stay for over 200 GST intelligence officials was completely kept out of the picture. The omission was no accident. Last year, the department faced sharp criticism after hosting a similar six-day training at the same institute while putting up its officers in two five-star hotels. That training cost the exchequer Rs 46.65 lakh, of which a whopping Rs 38.10 lakh went towards accommodation alone. Following criticism, the department offered a sensational justification — that the training was merely a cover for a covert GST raid in Kochi, which allegedly fetched a staggering Rs 1,170 crore for the state exchequer. That explanation, now widely seen as implausible and evasive, collapsed under scrutiny. When a ruling front MLA asked in the assembly on March 18 this year about the actual amount recovered from that so-called operation, the department replied that it was still collecting the details. Ten months after what was touted as one of the biggest sting operations in the department's history, it had no answer! Now, in a near-carbon copy of that setup, the department once again bypassed the finance department's austerity guidelines. A govt order issued on Aug 19, 2023, categorically banned the use of private or luxury venues for trainings and workshops, urging departments to use govt-owned facilities or those run by aided institutions, local bodies or PSUs. Though Saturday's order included a token clause that future trainings must comply with finance norms, it also formally relaxed them for this programme — clearing the way for another opulent exercise cloaked as "capacity building". Senior officials in the finance department, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they suspect the same playbook is in use, only with more careful paperwork. "The venue of stay is deliberately omitted to avoid the kind of backlash they faced last year. But the pattern and the spending remain unchanged," one official said. Adding a layer of intrigue is the fact that this year's programme coincides with the return of a senior GST department officer to his parent department after a long deputation. Sources said the timing of the training is closely tied to this repatriation, raising further questions on the department's priorities. Kerala's own training infrastructure — such as Institute of Management in Govt (IMG) and the Gulati Institute of Public Finance and Taxation — is once again being ignored. These institutions, purpose-built with public funds, are now routinely overlooked even as crores are spent on hotel stays and outsourced training logistics. While there is no word yet from the department on whether this year's training will again be linked to any covert operation or dramatic "revenue mobilisation", the silence around the logistics speaks volumes.
