It is well known that Banks exposure to DHFL is in crores and this stressed mortgage lender would be required to make provision for their exposures within few weeks period, if the account is treated as a Fraudulent account after KPMG’s expected findings.

- KPMG’s reports have astonishing findings which reveals that there are possibilities of DHFL diverting funds in to the promoter-led entites.
- It is known that Banks have a combined exposure of Rs. 38,342 crore to DHFL by way of Term Loans, Non-Convertible debentures and Commercial Paper.
- A PSU Bank senior executive also adds that the activity relating to restructuring of DHFL is still in a work-in-progress state, and that the banks are now required to take a call on whether to get the Wadhawans (Promoter Family) to co-operate in the process of recoveries, or to declare the account as fraud if diversion is proved.
- If the account is declared as Fraud, it may lead to a burden of providing provisions as early as third quarter (October to December) of the current financial year.
