HC rejects UBI plea seeking transfer of Valmiki scam probe to CBI

The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition by Union Bank of India seeking transfer of the investigation of the alleged scam involving the Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation Ltd to the CBI. The petition was heard by Justice M Nagaprasanna, who ruled that Section 35A of the Banking Regulation Act could not be used as grounds for such a transfer. He noted that allowing this could lead to an overreach by banking institutions, potentially undermining the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act (DSP Act). The case, reserved for judgment on September 30, focused on two main questions: whether the petition should be referred to the Supreme Court under Article 131 of the Constitution, and if Section 35A of the Banking Regulation Act justified seeking a CBI investigation without invoking the DSP Act. The Karnataka government, represented by senior advocate B V Acharya, argued against allowing the petition, stating that the state police have the

FIU imposes Rs 54 lakh fine on Union Bank of India for PMLA violations

The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has imposed a fine of Rs 54 lakh on the Union Bank of India for "failing" to report suspicious transaction reports and for not undertaking due diligence under the anti-money laundering law for certain accounts at one of its branches in Mumbai. The federal agency issued the penalty notice under section 13 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on October 1 as it observed that the charges against the lender were "substantiated" after it considered written and oral submissions made by the Bank. The investigation started, pursuant to an observation by the FIU, and a "comprehensive review" of the Bank's operations was undertaken, which uncovered certain "irregularities" related to KYC/AML (know your customer/anti-money laundering laundering) compliance. "An independent examination of specific current accounts maintained at Union Bank of India, Hill Road Branch, Mumbai, revealed that the accounts of an NBFC (non-banking financial company) an

Sluggish capex, war on pricing dragged loan growth in Q2: Union Bank CEO

Sluggish capex demand from corporates and a 'war on pricing' in the market to sign up big borrowers brought down the targeted credit growth in the September quarter, Union Bank of India chief executive and managing director A Manimekhalai said on Tuesday. She said the state-owned lender had to stay away from many of the lending proposals because of such factors, due to which the corporate loan growth has slipped to 6.3 per cent, pulling down the overall loan growth to 9.6 per cent against the over 13 per cent for the system. The bank is targeting a loan growth of 11-13 per cent during the fiscal. Speaking to reporters, the MD and CEO said the bank had envisaged a pick-up in private capex, but the same did not turn up, leading to a muted growth in overall corporate advances. "We have let go lot many accounts for the interest rate reasons that we were not able to grow the book. Going forward, we hope the capex cycle revives. "The capex has not revived. It's just that the basket, whi
