Manpasand Beverages scrips hit lower circuit on the Bombay stock
exchange over MD and CFO's arrest facing allegations of Goods and
Services Tax (GST) fraud.
The Manpasand scrips hit the lower
circuit limit of 20 per cent on Monday. The trading stopped when it was
priced at Rs 88 a stock, Rs 22 or 20 pet cent down from its previous
close.
The trading in a particular stock and even an index is halted by the exchanges when it hits a lower or upper circuit breaker.
This
is not the first such occasion, the stock had hit a lower 20 per cent
circuit even in May 2018 after its auditor Deloitte Haskins and Sells
India quit the audit process midway due to transparency issues.
The
company on Saturday informed that Vishal Sood, Non-Executive Director
of the Company has tendered resignation from the post of Director of the
Company with immediate effect -- May 24.
"This resignation is mainly due to Search from GST departmental," the company said in a regulatory filing.
According
to a BSE filing by the company, the Commissioner of Central GST and
Customs carried out search and seizure proceedings at various premises
of the company on May 23 and further inquiry was conducted on May 24 at
the GST Bhavan office here.
"Abhishek Singh, Whole Time Director,
Paresh Thakkar, Chief Financial Officer of the company and (Singh's
brother) Harshvardhan Singh, are under judicial custody of authority
from yesterday, i.e., May 24, 2019. The company is contesting these
allegations in accordance with the due process of law," the company said
in the filing.
"Considering the present status of the case,
estimated impact on the company and amount involved is not identifiable
till the outcome in the matter."
A CGST statement, released on
Friday, stated that searches were conducted on various premises of the
company on May 23, following which a racket of creating fake/dummy units
for availing fraudulent credit and committing tax evasion of Rs 40
crore involving turnover of approximate Rs 300 crore had surfaced.
The
investigations revealed a nationwide network of 30 dummy companies that
were used by Manpasand Beverages for claiming illegal credit. The
agencies were still ascertaining the exact beneficiaries of such dubious
deals.
