Vijay Mallya ka kehna hai ki unka debt clear ho chuka hai, lekin SBI-led banks ne Bombay High Court mein saaf kar diya hai ki abhi bhi **₹8,752 Crore** baaki hain. Ab tak **₹10,270 Crore** recover ho chuke hain, par interest aur legal kharche abhi bhi hisaab mein baaki hain.
Calculation ka khel
Ek taraf Vijay Mallya claim kar rahe hain ki unka pura debt settle ho gaya hai kyunki banks ne ₹10,270 Crore tak recover kar liye hain. Wahi dusri taraf, SBI aur baki lenders ka kehna hai ki yeh hisaab incomplete hai. Banks ka logic simple hai—itne saalon ki ladaai mein jo interest aur legal fees judi hain, wo abhi tak settle nahi hui hain. Isi wajah se ₹8,752 Crore ki rakam abhi bhi outstanding dikh rahi hai.
Criminal vs Civil case
Sirf paisa recover karna kaafi nahi hai. Enforcement Directorate (ED) ne court mein clear kiya hai ki PMLA ke under jo recovery ho rahi hai, uska matlab ye nahi ki criminal charges khatam ho gaye hain. Bank fraud aur conspiracy ka case apni jagah chal raha hai. Mallya jitni baar settlement ka hawala de kar case band karane ki koshish karte hain, ED aur banks dono use block kar dete hain.
Agla kadam
Market experts aur banking sector ke liye ye case ek textbook example hai ki kaise bade NPA (Non-Performing Assets) ko recover karne mein dilon-saal lag jaate hain. Ab sabki nazar 13 October, 2026 par hai, jab Bombay High Court 'fully settled' debt ki definition par final faisla ya koi clarity de sakta hai.
