United Spirits (USL) has received notices from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the I-T Department for inspection of its book subsequent to a probe ordered by its new management over alleged irregularities in loans given by it to various companies of Vijay Mallya-led UB Group.
Earlier in September 2014, the board of USL, in which Diageo bought a controlling 55 percent stake for about $3 billion, had ordered a detailed and expeditious inquiry into role of individuals involved and potential non-compliance of the Companies Act, 1956. Subsequently, in April this year, the new management under Diageo had asked Vijay Mallya to step down from the chairmanship of USL alleging funds diversion to Kingfisher and other UB group entities.
United Spirits is the largest spirits company in India and a flagship entity of $2 billion UB group. It manufactures wide range of whisky, vodka, rum and other spirits.
