    Default Integrated Finance Company Limited

    A leading Malayalam daily Wednesday said it was not linked "legally or morally" to a finance company that has gone bust.

    Malayala Manorama editor and managing director Mammen Mathew said in an e-mail to IANS that it was unfortunate that a section of the Kerala media was wrongly portraying the failed company, Integrated Finance Company Limited (IFCL), as a Malayala Manorama company.

    "Malayala Manorama has no role, involvement in the policy decisions or in the day-to-day management of the Integrated Finance Company Limited. Referring to Integrated Finance Company Limited as a Malayala Manorama Company is wrong. The insinuation that it is a Malayala Manorama Company is totally baseless," Mathew said.

    "It is very unfortunate that a small section of the media in Kerala is wrongly
    portraying Integrated Finance Company Limited as a Malayala Manorama
    company. Malayala Manorama is not in any way connected with the
    management of Integrated Finance Company Limited," Mathew added.

    The Chennai headquartered IFCL has 15 of its 18 branches in Thiruvalla, Pathanamthitta and Kottayam districts of Kerala, where it is believed to hold deposits and bonds of Rs.2 billion.

    Things started going wrong for IFCL a month back when depositors could not withdraw their money.

    Instead, depositors got a letter from IFCL stating the company had applied to the Madras High Court for restructuring as falling interest rates had forced it to rework its operations.

    The letter said the company had deposits of Rs.300 million and had issued bonds worth Rs.950 million.

    The company said it will repay those who have deposits of up to Rs.20,000 and that the others would have to wait till the restructuring is complete.

    "In view of certain practical and legal difficulties and to bring an overall settlement of all our clients, we have approached the Madras High Court with a scheme of arrangement and compromise with our clients. We would discuss this with them on the 10th of this month," the letter said.

    Many depositors have gone on record to say they invested with IFCL because its advertisements stated the company had the backing of Malayala Manorama, MRF Tyres and OEN Connectors (a private limited company).

    Default Investment in Integrated Finance Company

    I regret to inform you that my hard earned money from Saudi Arabia had been invested to Integrated Finace Alleppey Brach with a promise from the Branch Manager shown the advt. that this company is a sister concern of Malayala Manorama, OEN and MRF. As an idet I belived their words and pictures of the advt. and invested a total of Rs.7,00,000/ in it. As a result, still I am suffering my life in Saudi. The investement period is over and this amout is gone in the wind. What honesty Manorama Management had?

    What I understand is that 99.9% of the investers belived that this company is a sister concern of Manorama with solid written advertisement proof. Justice K. G. Balakrishnan, the most honerable Justice may also made a lot of money out of that deal, by delaying and to give wrong judgement.

    One thing everyone want to remember, this is not the end of life. You MUST get the reward from the Almighty GOD, my dear. whoever it is, we are still keep on praying for that. The caurse will come to your Head, and you will see it with your eyes.

    Thanks
    Philip George

    Default integrated finance company ltd and others

    4th October 2011

    Sir,
    Integrated Finance Company Ltd collected huge amount from the investors and issued bonds promising them an interest of 14 to 15 %. When the bonds were about to mature, the Company approached the Madras High Court with a request for restructuring the Bonds and converting it into shares.
    Any attempt to contact the Managing Director generally fails with the staff saying that the MD is Out of Station. The MD, Sri George Kuruvilla, is a Keralite with BIG connections with organizations like Malayala Manorama group of news papers, Harrison Malayalam. The investors were made to believe that the company was owned by Malayala Manorama. Now the Company has shifted from original location to a new one without informing the investor. Registered letters to the company are returned marked as “addee not found”. Even the telephone/mobile of the MD is not attended. The company does not give any other solution except converting the bonds into shares. The bond holders opposed the move because once converted, these shares will not have any value.
    The Case is dragging on in the Supreme Court and has entered seventh Year without any relief to the poor investor. Probably the company must be managing to get the ruling postponed by some means. Many of the investors are retired without pension and depend on the monthly interest for their daily expenses.
    It is true all those who invested in the above private company are to be totally blamed. But the manner in which the Company approached the High Court of Chennai indicates that the company is playing with the loop holes in the law to escape payment to the poor depositors.
    We feel that there is an urgent need for a legislation giving free hands to the police to attach the Property of the Managing Director and other Directors till the Capital invested is returned to the investors. The property in the name of wife and children must also be attached. Stock exchanges, market regulators, registration departments, must also be made equally responsible.
    Investors should form a forum to get the above similar strong legislation in place so that business houses do not play such cruel games on them at least in future.
    Thanking you
    Nandanan S Nair
