National Housing Bank Initiates Forensic Audit of SRG Housing Finance Over Loan Irregularities
The National Housing Bank (NHB) has initiated a forensic audit of SRG Housing Finance amid concerns over fictitious loans and manipulated repayment records. The audit aims to verify the existence of borrowers, examine loan origination and accounting systems, and investigate potential fraudulent activities including duplicate loan assets offered to multiple lenders. NHB issued a request for proposal on October 3 but has not yet appointed an audit firm. The investigation follows earlier findings of possible fictitious loans worth 300 to 400 crore.
