Right Govinda,
It is true that Sahara Group has been trying to raise funds to secure release of its chairman Subrata Roy, who has been lodged in Tihar Jail for over a yesr. As per the Sahara Group Spoke person the talks are in final stages. They didn't comment on the deal size. But as per the report in the Sunday Times, the deal was fixed at 5500 crore.

Earlier this year, The Grosvenor House hotel was put on sale by its lender Bank of China after a technical default.

@rajesh,
Do you know about the other properties owned by Reuben Brothers? These are New York Plaza hotel and the New York Dream hotel. As per the Reuben Brothers this deal bring back Sahara's ability to renegotiate the loan terms with the new lender or with third parties.

Well Kasif,
The group has also retained that the amount already deposited with the regulator SEBI exceeds the pending dues. In Gurgaon, Sahara has sold 185 acres of land to M3M India Ltd, which plans to use for mixed-use development and would pay the group the entire money in 6 instalments.

Hi Suhail,
It is heard that it M3M India Ltd. may be acquiring Sahara's land at Chauma in Gurgaon and the deal size could be over Rs 1200 crore. But still there are silence and no official confirmation of the deal from either of the parties.

The Supreme Court yesterday permitted the Sahara Group to proceed with the sale of four domestic properties which is likely to bring Rs 2710 crore, in its tender to raise Rs 10000 crore for the discharge of its jailed chief Subrato Roy.

Sahara group is suppose to be selling a large land parcel for over Rs 1200 crore in the suburbs of the national capital to Gurgaon-based realty firm M3M India Ltd.

M3M, which is scheduled 5th of December this year to announce one of the biggest acquisition in the real estate industry in recent history was quiet about the deal.

Now, there will be a question mark on whether it can generate sufficient cash flow from the properties or sell them at an agreeable price. For a group that has cut employees' salaries and is battling a cash crisir, no one knows how this story will play out in the days to come.

Speaking on situation of anonymity, an official with the agriculture ministry told that there is a thinking within the government to revise the law and plug means of avoidance, if any, in the regulations.

Some time ago they had asked the registrars of co-operatives in different states to take a close at the some of the large cooperative credit societies. But they have to be careful. It will be good if societies can be involved with banks.

Yo are right Ankita,
Different from more friendly credit co-operatives for employees of an organisation or a group, general multi-state societies can open shop across the country to attract savings and are regulated by the central registrar of co-operative societies under the ministry of agriculture. Their reach can be as extensive as large banks.

The activities of Sahara Credit, originally started by Sahara employees, multiplied in the years after the Reserve Bank of India forced Sahara to shut down its remaining non-banking finance company in 2008.
The team of Sahara agents, organizing savings through its daily deposit schemes that accept deposits of even one rupee a day. And it was moving entirely into garnering funds for the co-operative society.

A senior official of the society told that the society holds many high-quality assets, including 2000 acres of land which according to a leading realty broker, is valued at Rs 6400 crore.
In spite of the funds being stuck and it is not easily converted into cash, even if valuable, assets do not visualize any problem in repaying depositors on time.

Hi Prem,
It is also came to know that most important part of this money has been invested in Sahara Group companies and projects.
Now, It has understood that the credit society owns a 42% shareholding in the corporate entity that holds Sahara's prized Amby Valley property.
The society has 2.6 crore formal members and 92 lakh regular members with voting rights.

Hi Rituraj,
On June 4, the apex court had repeated the March 26 order and allowed Sahara to operate bank accounts and sale bonds and securities to meet the pre-release conditions. Really it was a good judgment by the apex court otherwise most of the companies are going on the same way and become defaulter.

You are right Sishir,
Now the people of such nature should learn a lesson from him and will never repeat the same in the future. But the amount fixed by the apex court was Rs. 10000 crore. What about the rest of the amount?

Rituraj,

11th June 2014

@Sishir,
Sahara sources said Rs 3007 crore was collected the amount from various bank accounts and sale of bonds and the amount was deposited on Monday with the market regulator. They are arranging the rest of the money and the bank guarantee.
