Criticism
British driver Paul di Resta driving
the Force India VJM05 carrying
Being a largely unlisted company Sahara India Parivar's activities Sahara branding
have in recent times come under criticism.[38] This includes
allegations of unknown sources of capital, favourable treatment by
political parties.

On 26 February 2014, the Supreme Court of India had issues warrants to summon Subrata Roy, Managing
Worker, Chairman and founder of Sahara India Pariwar, on a litigation on the Optionally Fully Convertible
Debentures issued by the two companies of Sahara India Pariwar to which Securities and Exchange Board of
India had claimed its jurisdiction and objected on why Sahara has not taken permission from it. Sahara has
claimed that the said bonds are hybrid product, thus does not come under the jurisdiction of SEBI, instead is
governed by Registrar of Companies (ROC) under Ministry of Corporate Affairs, from which the two
companies of Sahara has already taken permission and submitted the red herring prospectus with ROC before
issuing the bonds.

SEBI in return ordered Sahara's two companies to stop issuing the said bonds and return money to investors.
Sahara contested the case in various courts which eventually came to Supreme Court of India. On 14 June
2012, (during the final hearing of the case), the group had provided details of its financials up to 30 April
2012. While the court reserved its order, Sahara claims that it has already paid to 95% of the investors and
discharged its OFCD liability to the tune of Rs. 23500 crores and only around Rs. 2260.69 crores are left
against which Sahara has already deposited more than Rs. 12,000 crore which has with interest swelled to Rs.
16000 Crore. By 31 August 2012 the date of Supreme Court order, the group repaid majority of its OFCD
investors between May the last date of hearing and by 30 August 2012 the final order. Since these repayments
have not been taken into consideration, Sahara maintains that any money paid now will obviously mean a
double payment towards one liability.

It is also been reported that Sahara has paid Rs 725.97 crore as TDS (tax deducted at source) to the Income
Tax Departments on the interest which along with investment was repaid to 95 percent of the investors,
between 2009–10 and 2012–13. The income tax authorities had found that the beneficiary investors were
existent and accordingly confirmed the repayments made in those particular years. One of Sahara's arguments
in the apex court revolves around the fact that if one government body has found investors, why can't the
other.[6]

The case itself comprises big numbers such as collection of over Rs 24,000 crore from three crore individuals,
while once in 2013 Sahara sent 127 trucks containing 31,669 cartons full of over three crore application forms
and two crore redemption vouchers to Sebi office. Apparently, this had resulted into a huge traffic jam on
outskirts of Mumbai, where the regulator is headquartered. SEBI on the other hand because the trucks reached
after office hours SEBI rejected the second batch of files, which as per Sahara contained 25% of the investor
information.[39]

Furthermore, the market regulator SEBI advertised four times in more than 144 newspapers to ask the
investors of Sahara to refund the money. And since August 2012 Sebi has only refunded Rs. 64 crore to the
investors while it has Rs. 16000 crore from Sahara. On October 2014, a shocking revelation was made when
only around 4,600 investors in two Sahara group companies had come forward to claim refunds from the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which had asked those who had purchased bonds issued by
the entities to claim their money. This gave a valid point to Sahara's argument before courts that it had repaid
most of the investors who had come forward to claim the investment which they had made in bonds issued by
two group companies.[40]

Reports also suggested that between the time that SEBI first initiated the inquiry four years ago and Roy's
eventual detention and it is to note that till today there is not a single charge against him, there has not been a
single instance of an investor in either of the two Sahara firms under watch actually filing a police complaint or
going to court.[41]

He was granted interim bail by the Supreme Court on 26 March 2014 on the condition that he would deposit
the huge bail amount of Rs 10,000 crore.[42] Subrata was eventually taken into judicial custody and sent to
Tihar jail, along with two other Sahara directors, on 4 March 2014 for failing to deposit Rs 10,000 crore with
SEBI.[43] In Tihar jail, Subrata unsuccessfully tried to sell some of his hotel properties to raise Rs 10,000 crore
for his bail bond.[44] He remained in Tihar jail for more than two years, and was released on parole in May
2016 to attend the last rites of his deceased mother.[45]

On 1 July 2018, the group revealed that majority of Rs 20,000 crore of Sahara's money (including the interest)
which is with SEBI will be refunded back to Sahara India as the group had already made majority of the
payments to its investors. The group also stated that SEBI will be directed to start the verification of the
documents of Sahara's investors, which are already provided to them by Sahara India Pariwar. Despite the
double payment for single liability, Sahara India has been continuously depositing money of around Rs 20,000
crore (including interest earned) in Sahara-Sebi account.[46][47]

Charitable work
The Sahara Welfare Foundation, the social development unit of Sahara India Pariwar, runs social welfare
projects.[48][49][50] The company assisted the families of Indian soldiers killed in the Kargil war with a
commitment of 500 million (US$10.65 million )[51][52] [53] The company claims to have assisted families
whose homes were damaged in the 2006 Gujarat earthquake. Other welfare activities include water
purification systems and education resource systems in Indian villages.[54][55][56]

In 2013, Sahara contributed to the relief efforts in flood hit Uttarakhand region wherein one lakh bottles of
drinking water, juice bottles and food packets along with candles and match boxes were said to be provided by
them. There were 25 medical health unit vans equipped with doctors and free medicines made available and It
was said by the group that, they will contribute to the rehabilitation program by constructing 10,000 pre-
fabricated houses.[57]

Guinness World records

Sahara holds the record for the most people singing a national anthem simultaneously.
121,653 employees of the company sang India's national anthem on 6 May 2013 in Lucknow,
India. Sahara Samay remained world's number one viewed news channel of India in July 2013,
when one of the journalists, associated with the network was hit by a bullet while covering a
live encounter in border state of India.[58]
Sahara India Pariwar's Sahara Q Shop entered into the Guinness World Records when it
opened record 315 outlets in 10 states of India, all at once on 1 April 2013.[31]
