1. INTRODUCTION
• The company was incorporated in the year 1995 in the name of “JMD Oils Pri-
vate Limited”.
• The company was primarily engaged in the business of refining, purchase and
sale of edible oils. The company has its manufacturing unit located at Gandhi-
dham, Gujarat and had 22 depots for managing its operations.
• The company was availing credit facilities in the form of working capital by way
of consortium loan in which Indian Overseas Bank is the lead bank and other
bankers were State Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Union Bank, Dena Bank
and Punjab National Bank.
• The internal controls of the company were very weak since there were no de-
fined policies for the sales and purchases made by the company. They were do-
ing business without verifying the background and financial soundness of the
parties.
• The sales invoices were issued without the supporting documents like G.R.,
weighment slips etc. due to which the movement of material could not be veri-
fied. Further, in case of purchases, the G.R. receipts were issued by a firm which
was also managed by the promoters of the company.
• There has been increase in sales however a downfall in production. Thus, it can
be inferred that company is resorting to trading of goods despite primarily being
a manufacturing concern.
• The debtors of the company were on increasing trend with the major portion be-
longing to the related parties of the promoters. However, trade payables were
being paid on time through working capital facilities financed by consortium
banks.
• The financial position of the company deteriorated due to payment to related
party creditors and non-realization of related party debtors.
• The transactions of sales and purchases were made in such a simple manner for
converting the LCs/CC limit into sundry debtors.

• The assignment was allotted to us via Indian Overseas Bank through letter dat-
ed 11.12.2017 to ensure that funds were utilized for the purpose for which they
were sanctioned.
• However, the auditee despite several reminders and discussion, did not made
available the information/documents required for the purpose of the audit,
which resulted into substantial delay in the assignment.
• Under these circumstances, we were constrained to prepare our report on the
basis of information available in the public domain and data collected from
banks.
• We had presented our preliminary draft report in the Joint Lender’s Meeting held
on 24.05.2018, wherein it was discussed that the member banks would direct
the auditee to make available the information/documents for the audit and the
member banks will also make available all the documents in respect of the pur-
chases made by the auditee through Letter of credit.
• However, even after the intervention from the member banks, the auditee did
not extend the requisite cooperation.
• We had requested the member banks to provide the required information on
25.05.2018. The information/records from the member banks were received in
the following manner:
11 | P a g e

• Our interim report was submitted without analyzing the information received
from Indian Overseas Bank and the information from Union Bank of India was
still awaited.
• On 30.07.2018, we had sent a reminder mail to all consortium banks and re-
quested to provide the data within three working days, otherwise, we will be
constrained to finalize our report on the basis of information and data available
with us.
• However, no response was received from anyone till 08.08.2018. Thereafter, we
had sent final reminder mail that “we have commenced the preparation of our
report on the basis of information and data available with us and from public
domain. Therefore, now we will not be obliged to consider any infor-
mation/data/records, hereinafter”.
• On 09.08.2018, we had received a call from Union Bank of India, stating that
the data is ready and may be collected from their Noida Branch office. On
13.08.2018, we had collected the data from their said branch office.
• The data from the Auditee was still awaited and after having discussions with
the lead bank on 17.08.208, the bank directed us to prepare the final report on
the basis of information collected till date.
• Therefore, now we have analyzed the data received from member banks and
have prepared the final report.
• Copies of letters, mail sent/received with client and consortium member banks
are covered in Chapter V to this report.

3. OBSERVATIONS IN BRIEF
As stated earlier, the auditee despite of various reminders and discussions have not ex-
tended the requisite cooperation and did provided the access to books of accounts.
Therefore, after the discussion with the banks, we have analyzed the purchases made
by the auditee against the devolved letter of credit and on the analysis on the same, we
are of the opinion that it is difficult to prove the genuineness of purchases made
by the company against letter of credit which were devolved subsequently,
the corresponding sales made from these purchases may not also be genuine,
making it apparently impossible to realize the trade receivables.
3.1.1 The company had purchased goods worth Rs. 653.68 crore during the period
from September 2012 to May 2015 through Letter of Credits which were eventu-
ally devolved.
3.1.2 As per the details provided by consortium member banks, approximately 67.49%
of purchases amounting to Rs. 441.16 crore were made through “Form F” (which
is used in case of stock transfer to branch / consignment agent), however, we
have observed that the auditee was not the consignment agent/branch of the
seller who has sold the goods to the auditee.
3.1.3 It was also observed that in 438 instances goods worth Rs. 242.54 crore were
transported from one state to another through same vehicle on consecutive
days. For example, it was observed that the vehicle no. GJ-12-AT-5694 was used
to transport goods from Delhi to Gandhidham on 29.07.2014 and 30.07.2014
through invoice no. 1209 and 1379 respectively each carrying 25,000 kg of Soy-
abean oil.
3.1.4 38 instances were noted where goods worth Rs. 11.89 crore were transported
from one state to another through same vehicle on same day. For example, ve-
hicle no GJ-12Y-9476 was used to transport 25,000 kg of Soyabean oil through
invoice no. 1113 and 1232 from New Delhi to Gandhidham.
3.1.5 On verification of vehicles records through information available in public do-
main, we have observed that the vehicles such as Bus, Motor Cycle/Scooter, Mo-
tor Cab, Excavator etc. which are not feasible for transportation were used to
13 | P a g e

transport the goods from one state to another and total value of such goods
transported was worth Rs. 46.71 crore.
3.1.6 It was observed that in most cases, entire business cycle of execution of trade
was completed in one day; i.e. issuance of LC, purchase of goods, transportation
of goods and submission of LCs documents to the issuer bank were performed
on the same day.
3.1.7 Based on above observations, it indicates that the company has booked fake
purchases amounting to Rs. 527.17 crore (out of the total purchases verified
worth Rs. 653.68 crore) and there is a potential diversion of funds by the com-
pany.
3.2.1 From the analysis of the Special Investigative Audit Report we had observed that
although the turnover of the company was on increasing trend, the production of
the company was continuously decreasing. It possibly indicates that the company
was resorting to trading of goods rather than manufacturing of goods.
3.2.2 It was noted that the sales to the companies related to company and its promot-
er kept on increasing over the year. From being 39.92% of the total sales in FY
2011-12, it went up to 76.55% during the period from 01.04.2014 to
30.11.2014. However, the realization from these debtors was continuously de-
creasing.
3.2.3 Similarly, the purchases from the concerns related to the company and its pro-
moters also kept on increasing. From being 53.92% in FY 2012-13, it went upto
89.10% during the period from 01.04.2014 to 30.11.2014.
3.2.4 However, in spite of funds being blocked up with the debtors, the company kept
on continuously buying the goods against LCs. This is evident from the fact the
Trade Payable were Rs. 181.93 crore as on 31.03.2012 which came down to Rs.
67.30 crore as on 31.03.2015. Whereas Trade Receivable were Rs. 300.03 crore
as on 31.03.2012 which went upto Rs. 773.58 crore as on 31.03.2015.

As stated earlier, the auditee despite of various reminders and discussions have not
extended the requisite cooperation and did provided the access to books of ac-
counts. Therefore, after the discussion with the banks, it was decided that the com-
pliance of scope of work as mentioned in the appointment letter was not feasible.
Therefore, we have reviewed the Special Investigative Audit Report and financial
statements for the period under review and our observations as per the scope of
work is detailed as under:
On perusal of Special Investigative Audit Report, Balance Sheets and other doc-
uments, we have observed that there were several companies which were being
controlled by the management, details of which are given below:

2.1 We have analyzed the purchases made by the company through devolved let-
ter of credit as made available by the banks which raises considerable doubts
on the genuineness of the purchases on the basis of following observations:
2.2 Modus Operandi: The company has shown the purchase of goods against
“Form F”. And/or Transported the goods on vehicles which were not feasible
for transportation. Details of such are given below:
2.2.1 The company had purchased total goods worth Rs. 653.68 crore during the
period from September 2012 to May 2015 through Letter of Credits which
were eventually devolved.
2.2.2 Out of the total purchases, we have observed that most of the interstate pur-
chases were against Form “F” (which is used in case of stock transfer to
branch / consignment agent as per Section 6A of Central Sales Tax Act, 1956
read with Rule 8 of Central Sales Tax (Delhi) Rules, 2005), however, we have
observed that the auditee was not the consignment agent/branch of the sell-
er who has sold the goods to the auditee. Further, even if the company has
purchased goods through “Form F” it means that the ownership of goods was
not transferred and if the ownership was not transferred the auditee could
not have booked it as purchases and make the payment by LCs. This is seri-
ous lapse to indicate the in genuine purchases for which company has also
not paid the applicable taxes. (The relevant provisions of the applicable laws
and rules in respect of “Form F” are attached in Annexure A to the report).
The details of such purchases are given below:

2.2.3 It was observed that the criminal proceedings were initiated against CBS
Steel Private Limited and Raksha Global Steel Private Limited and their direc-
tors for perpetrating frauds.
2.2.4 The transporter for transportation of goods was common in all cases, i.e.
“Delhi Super Roadways” which happens to be a related party of the auditee
and the GRN issued does not contain the Service Tax Registration No, PAN
and does not indicate the freight amount (which is to be paid in most of
transaction).
2.2.5 In case of purchase of Soyabean Oil, it was observed that all invoices were
for same quantity i.e. 25,000 Kg and all were without weighment slips.
2.2.6 During the analysis of invoices and goods receipt note, it was found in many
cases that same vehicles were used to transport goods from Delhi to Gandhi-
dham on consecutive dates. For example, it was observed that the vehicle no.
GJ-12-AT-5694 was used to transport goods from Delhi to Gandhidham on
29.07.2014 and 30.07.2014. The total value of such goods amount to Rs.
2,42,54,25,095. The details of such type of instances in covered in Annex-

2.2.7 Further, it was also observed that even on the same day the goods were
transported through same vehicles. For example, Vehicle No. GJ-12Y-9476
was used to transport goods on 29.07.2014, through bill no. 1113 and 1232
each containing 25,000 kg of Soyabean oil which was transported from New
Delhi to Gandhidham. The total value of such goods amount to Rs.

2.2.8 On analysis of vehicles through which goods were transported, we found that
6,50,000 kg of Soyabean oil worth Rs. 6,00,06,250 (26 invoices each carrying
25,000 kg of Soyabean Oil) were transported through “Bus” which was
owned by “Apeejay School”. The details of such type of instances in covered
in Annexure D on Page 102 of the report.
2.2.9 Further, it was also observed that 3,50,710 kg of goods (including Iron
Sheets, Tin Plate and Soyabean Oil) having value of Rs. 1,96,61,615 were
transported through Motor Cycle/Scooter. It is pertinent to note that more
than 25,000 kg of goods were constantly being transported through Motorcy-
cle/Scooter. The details of such type of instances in covered in Annexure E
on Page 103 of the report.

2.2.10 In some other cases it was also observed that goods were being transported
through Excavator, Crane Mounted Vehicle, Motor Cab, Three-Wheeler Pas-
senger Vehicle. The summarized details of those events are given below, and
details are covered in Annexure F from Page 104-109 of the report:

2.2.11 It was also observed that in 963 cases, goods were transported having value
of Rs. 1,89,79,94,930 through vehicles for which records were not available
in public domain. The details of such type of instances in covered in Annex-
ure G from Page 110-143 of the report.
2.2.12 All these material events raise a serious doubt on the genuineness of the
transactions entered by the company and it may be safely concluded that ac-
tual purchases of goods may not have been taken place.

d) Further, as per the SIA report, the company has provided advance to Chawla
Agencies Private Limited in October 2014 amounting to Rs. 73.25 crore de-
spite facing financial crunch as well as non-receipt of sums due on sales
made to group entities of such creditor. However, later in the month of No-
vember 2014 this advance was adjusted by booking purchase.
3.5.1 While verification of the special investigative audit report, we have observed
that although the purchases of the company has increased during the last
three years, the trade payables have decreased rapidly, which means that the
company was utilizing the working capital for making the payments to its
creditors since the company was not realizing its trade receivables. This can
be depicted in the chart given below:

ously decreasing. This can be explained in the chart given below:

tion of the company was on declining trend. The details of Sales and Produc-
tion from the year 2011 onwards is given below:
b) From the above graph it appears that the company is resorting to trading of
goods rather than manufacturing of goods.

5.2 While verifying the debtors, we have observed that while the sales of
the company was on increasing trend, the realization from debtors
was on decreasing trend because the debtors were increasing con-
stantly. The details of debtors are given below:
Total Debtor for the period (B) 277.19 353.88 484.32 790.63
30.11.2015. The company has also purchased goods worth Rs. 244.45 crore
from the same company for the period 01.04.2012 to 30.11.2015.
e) Further, as per the Special Investigative Audit Report, the said company was
making majority of sales to Super Veg Oils Limited (which is again controlled
by the promoters of the company), Chawla Agencies Private Limited (which
is a supplier of the company).
f) The account of Super Veg Oil Private Limited is with Indian Overseas Bank
which is again an NPA Account.
g) This company was not able to explain the reasons of not making the pay-
ment to JMD Oils Private Limited, and JOPL could not provide any documen-
tary evidence to substantiate the movement of goods.

b) The registered address of this company is 49, New Market, Ramesh Nagar
New Delhi 110015.
c) The net worth of the company as on 31.03.2015 was only Rs. 47 lakhs while
the company has sold goods worth Rs. 169.70 crore from 01.04.2011 to
30.11.2015.
d) As per data available from public domain, the total trade payable by this
company as on 31.03.2014 was Rs. 17.12 crore whereas the amount receiv-
able from this company was Rs. 21.51 crore. These differences in the bal-
ance cast a significant doubt about the genuineness of the transactions held
by the company.
e) The total outstanding from Galux International was Rs. 143.77 crore as on
30.11.2014 which accounts for 18.18% of the total debtors
f) This company was not able to explain the reasons of not making the pay-
ment to JMD Oils Private Limited, and JOPL could not provide any documen-
tary evidence to substantiate the movement of goods.
5.3.4 Varada Expo Mark & Marketing Private Limited & Tribhuvan Markplus Private
Limited
a) The director of Varada Expo Mark & Marketing Private Limited (formerly
known as Shiv Expomark Private Limited) is Sidharth Gulati who is also a di-
rector of the Hy Link Overseas Private Limited (which is a supplier of the
company).
b) Tribhuvan Markplus Private Limited is also a concern of close relative of Si-
dharth Gulati.
c) The registered of the above-mentioned company is also same i.e. 327, Hauz
Qazi New Delhi-110006.
d) The company is constantly making payments to Hy Link Overseas Private
Limited rather than adjusting the dues from Hy-Link overseas Private Limited
and also not receiving payments from the above-mentioned companies.
Further, the recoverability of these huge amounts from these parties is really a mat-
ter of concern, since the company has never sent any written reminder nor filed any
legal case for the recovery.

6.1 Sales
6.1.1 During the course of audit, we have observed that there was an increase in
sales and that increase in sales was on account of trading activities only. Fur-
ther, the major sales belong to the company which are related to the pro-
moters which was also on increasing trend for last four year. The details of
sales to such companies are given below:

8. OTHER OBSERVATIONS
8.1 As per the latest Stock Audit Report available on record, the company has con-
sidered advances made to suppliers while determining drawing power. Howev-
er, there was no such provisions in the sanction letters assigned for the same.
8.2 As per the latest Stock Audit Report available on record, on verification of in-
voices raised to them it was observed that the sales invoices did not have
truck/lorrie receipts/GR /weighing receipts. As such the movement of goods
could not be verified.
8.3 As per the Special Investigative Audit Report, it was observed that Lorry Re-
ceipts (i.e. bilty) have been issued by M/s Delhi Super Roadways in all cases
and that too in continuous serial nos. This firm is in the name of an employee
of the company and the firm doesn’t own any vehicle. All the vehicles were
owned and provided by JOPL. Therefore, the issue of the lorry receipts is also
managed and controlled by JOPL on whose strength LC documents have been

negotiated. This also raises serious concerns on the activities being carried out
by the company and the movement of material cannot be ensured.
8.4.1 On verification of the SIA report, we have observed that there were 94 vehi-
cles which were maintained by the company.
8.4.2 However, on verification of the registration of these vehicles online we found
that only 13 vehicles were registered in the name of JMD Oils Private Limited.
39 vehicles were registered in some other name and for 42 vehicles registra-
tion number did not existed on the official sites (www.parivhan.gov.in and
www.vahan.nic.in). The details of vehicles are annexed in Annexure H from
Page 144-147 of this report.
9. CONCLUSION
9.1 From the above it is clear that JOPL is selling goods to Galux International,
Delta Agrotech and R K Super Edible Oils Private Limited and is purchasing
goods from Hy Link Overseas Private Limited, Chawla Agencies and Delta Agro-
tech Private Limited.
9.2 Further, as per the report, Galux International, Delta Agrotech and R K Super
Edible Oils Private Limited are further selling goods to Hy Link Overseas Private
Limited and Chawla Agencies Private Limited.
9.3 Hy Link Overseas Private Limited and Chawla Agencies Private Limited in turn
sell goods to JMD Oils Private Limited.
9.4 The transactions are also routed through Super Veg Oil Private Limited which is
managed by the promoter of the company Gulshan Kumar Dhingra.
9.5 After purchasing goods from Hy Link Overseas Private Limited and Chawla
Agencies Private Limited, JOPL makes the payment to these companies which
in turn makes payments to Super Veg Oils Private Limited.

9.6 Super Veg Oils Private Limited which is controlled by Gulshan Kumar Dhingra
holds the payment of Delta Agrotech Private Limited and Galux International
which in turn are holding the payment of JMD Oils Private Limited.
9.7 It is clearly visible that the purchases and sales are routed among the entities
related to the promoters of the company. And the net result of such transac-
tions is that the company is purchasing goods through LC whereas the compa-
ny sells goods on credit.
9.8 The impact of such transactions is that the entire CC limit of the company got
converted into Trade Receivables who are the related parties of the promoters
or are related to suppliers.
9.9 It appears that the promoters have booked fake purchases and it is difficult to
prove the genuineness of the purchases for which payments were eventually
made through devolvement of LCs. They may have diverted the funds to the
creditors. The other possibility is they may have resorted to fictitious sales
(since the purchase appears to be fictitious) and have shown fictitious debtors,
making it apparently impossible to realize the trade receivable.

A. Section 6A of Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 (as on 5th March 2014): Burden
of proof, etc., in case of transfer of goods claimed otherwise than by way
of sale
1. “Where any dealer claims that he is not liable to pay tax under this Act,
in respect of any goods, on the ground that the movement of such
goods from one State to another was occasioned by reason of
transfer of such goods by him to any other place of his busi-
ness or to his agent or principal, as the case may be, and not by
reason of sale, the burden of proving that the movement of those
goods was so occasioned shall be on that dealer and for this purpose
he may furnish to the assessing authority, within the prescribed time
or within such further time as that authority may, for sufficient cause,
permit, a declaration, duly filled and signed by the principal officer of
the other place of business, or his agent or principal, as the case may
be, containing the prescribed particulars in the prescribed form ob-
tained from the prescribed authority, along with the evidence of dis-
patch of such goods.
2. If the assessing authority is satisfied after making such inquiry as he
may deem necessary that the particulars contained in the declaration
furnished by a dealer under sub-section (1) 3 [are true and that no in-
ter-State sale has been effected, he may, at the time of, or at any time
before, the assessment of the tax payable by the dealer under this Act,
make an order to that effect and thereupon the movement of goods to
which the declaration relates shall, subject to the provisions of sub-
section (3),] be deemed for the purposes of this Act to have been oc-
casioned otherwise than as a result of sale.
Explanation - In this section, “assessing authority”, in relation to a
dealer, means the authority for the time being competent to assess the
tax payable by the dealer under this Act.]
