SEBI finds Gitanjali Gems funds used to support pledged promoter shares
Gitanjali Gems Ltd · Jewellery
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
End-use tracing of funds
Would have traced company payments to entities trading its shares.
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.
Collateral & double pledge
Would have tracked promoter pledges and margin pressure.
Can mislead when: Pledges made off the registries stay invisible, and vague invoice descriptions are hard to match.
Third-party confirmation
Would have confirmed bank guarantees and LOUs directly with issuing banks.
Can mislead when: Counterparties can collude or ignore requests. A non-response is logged as a gap, never as a pass.

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.
