SEBI bars listed IT firm and two promoters after sale proceeds were diverted instead of repaying bonds
Zenith Infotech Ltd · IT products and managed services (listed)
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
End-use tracing of funds
Sale proceeds leaving to overseas subsidiaries instead of the bond trustee would show.
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
The buyer vehicle's link to a promoter family director would show.
Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.
Regulatory & litigation records
The bond default notices and creditor suits would appear in exchange and court records.
Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.
Governance signals
Disclosures to the exchanges that departed from the shareholder resolution would stand out.
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.
