The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Collateral & double pledge
Would have shown concentrated pledges of shares.
Can mislead when: Pledges made off the registries stay invisible, and vague invoice descriptions are hard to match.
Ownership / related-party links
Would have linked borrowers to market operators.
Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.
Drawing power vs books
Would have compared loan collateral to market values.
Can mislead when: CARO is annual, so the signal comes late. It covers only borrowers above the ₹5 crore limit.

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.
