Andhra Pradesh: Indian Bank to auction Ganta Srinivas Rao's assets on November 25

Former minister and TDP MLA Ganta Srinivas Rao's name has yet again come to the fore in the Indian Bank loan evasion case. The loan he once took for Pratyusha Company was reached to Rs 248.03 crore including interest. The bank management has taken steps to recover the arrears after the company's directors have been neglecting it. The bank is all set to auction the bank-guaranteed assets in various parts of the city, including Visakhapatnam, on May 25. The e-auction sale notice was issued by Indian Bank SAM (SAM) branch in Hyderabad.

Pratyusha Resources & Infra owes Rs 141.68 crore in the past. Bank of India first issued notices on October 4, 2016 to pay this. But the company could not pay the debts by which, the balance, including subsequent interest, stood at Rs 248.03 crore (Rs 248,03,85,547).
