United Bank of India identifies UB Holding as 'wilful defaulter'

03 Dec 2014 Evaluate

United Bank of India  has identified United Breweries Holdings, the guarantor of grounded airline Kingfisher, as wilful defaulter. The bank has already declared Kingfisher Airlines and its four directors, including Mallya, as wilful defaulters.

The company was identified as wilful defaulter after it failed to repay the loan as guarantor of Kingfisher Airlines despite having the resources for repayment as per the balance-sheet of 2013-14.

In September this year, UBI became the first lender to declare debt-ridden Kingfisher Airlines, its promoter Vijay Mallya and other directors wilful defaulters as the company allegedly indulged in diversion of funds by opening multiple accounts. The other directors declared as wilful defaulters by the Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) of the bank were Ravi Nedungadi, Anil Kumar Ganguly and Subash Gupte.

UBI’s exposure to Kingfisher Airlines was around Rs 350 crore as part of consortium led by State Bank of India.Outside the consortium, UBI gave about Rs. 60 crore loan for pre-delivery payment.

United Bank of India is one of the 14 major banks which were nationalized on July 19, 1969. After nationalization, the Bank expanded its branch network in a big way and actively participated in the developmental activities, particularly in the rural and semi-urban areas in conformity with the objectives of nationalisation.
