Vishwamitra International Infra had allotted over 41.5 lakh non-convertible debentures (NCDs) worth Rs 41.61 crore in 2012-13 to Vishwamitra India Tour & Hotels Ltd (its group company), which in turn transferred these NCDs to 83,109 investors, without complying with public issue norms, according to a Sebi order issued in 2016.

As of March 2014, the amount raised through the offer of NCDs by Vishwamitra International Infra was Rs 107 crore.

Under the norms, the firm is required to list its securities on the recognised bourse as the shares were issued to more than 50 persons. It was also required to file a prospectus, among other things, which it failed to do.

In August 2016, Sebi had ordered Vishwamitra International Infra, its group company, and five directors to refund investors’ money in three months, which they had raised by issuing NCDs without complying with the public issue norms.

Besides, barring the firms and their directors for four years, they were asked to refund the money along with an interest of 15 per cent per annum However, they failed to do so, and consequently, the regulator initiated recovery proceedings against Vishwamitra International Infra and Vishwamitra India Tour & Hotels and their common directors.
