Debenture lender collapses with 15,622 investors; managing director penalised over accounts
Banksia Securities Ltd · Debenture-funded property lender
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Drawing power vs books
Would have compared loan security values with balances carried in the books.
Can mislead when: CARO is annual, so the signal comes late. It covers only borrowers above the ₹5 crore limit.
Collateral & double pledge
Would have retested property valuations behind impaired loans.
Can mislead when: Pledges made off the registries stay invisible, and vague invoice descriptions are hard to match.
Governance signals
Would have flagged weak board challenge on provisioning.
Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
