IPO proceeds diverted from stated objects; SAT upholds INR 15.5 crore in penalties
Bharatiya Global Infomedia Limited · Listed IT hardware and services company
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
End-use tracing of funds
Tracing the IPO proceeds would show most of the money did not reach the stated objects.
Can mislead when: Kubr sees only the company's own accounts. Once money reaches a third party's bank, Kubr can flag the payee but cannot see the next hop without that party's consent.
Ownership / related-party links
Partner and director records would show vendors were relatives of a director.
Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.
Bank credits vs books
Bank credits would show IPO money reaching trading groups on the listing day.
Can mislead when: AA only sees the accounts the company links, so an undisclosed account stays invisible. Cash-heavy businesses and timing differences create false flags.

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.
