Bombay High Court ruling clears Pune Buildtech of 'wilful defaulter' status
Author : PNT Bureau
The Bombay High Court has invalidated the Bank of India's designation of Pune Buildtech Pvt Ltd as 'fraud' and its related blacklisting, which restricted the firm's credit access. Additionally, the court ordered the bank to remove Pune Buildtech from its 'wilful defaulter' list and retract any reports sent to Credit Information Companies. This decision followed the firm's full settlement of INR 703.35 crore with the bank in June 2024, after which the bank issued a 'No Dues Certificate.' Despite this, the bank maintained the 'fraud' label, prompting the court to emphasize the importance of honoring consent terms, particularly after a one-time settlement (OTS) was reached. This ruling clears Pune Buildtech's path to restore its reputation and reaccess credit, highlighting the critical role of transparency and adherence to agreements in banking....
