The Ministry, during the last three years and current year,
has ordered investigation into the affairs of 145 companies
which were allegedly involved in illegal deposit taking
activities. A State-wise list of these companies is enclosed
as Annexure. In many of the cases where investigations
have been completed, diversion of funds so collected
and/ or default by the companies in repayment of such
deposits has been observed.
Regulation of such activities is covered by the following statutes:
i. Chit Funds Act, 1982, under which all chit funds require previous
sanction from the respective State Governments.
ii. Prize Chits& Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978,
enforcement of which lies with State Governments, defines and prohibits illegal
chit fund schemes.
iii. RBI Act, 1934, administered by the Reserve Bank of India, bars
any individual or a firm or unincorporated association of individuals from
accepting deposits.
iv. SEBI Act, 1992, administered by the Securities and Exchange
Board of India, to regulate Collective Investment Schemes.
v. Companies Act, 2013 (Sections 73 to 76) read with Companies
(Acceptance of Deposit) Rules, 2014.
vi. Special legislations passed by certain States to protect the interests
of depositors.
Apart from enforcement of the above statutes and regulations,
the following measures have been taken to protect the
interests of the investors and to enable effective
investigation into the affairs of companies allegedly
involved in frauds:
(i) ‘Fraud’ has been defined as a substantive offence in
the Companies Act, 2013;
(ii) Section 143(12) of Companies Act, 2013 requires
the auditor of a company to report any fraud to the
Board of Directors or Audit Committee of that company
or to the Central Government, depending on the amount of fraud.
