Ansal Properties & Infrastructure Ltd appointed SLO Technologies Private Limited (AdvaRisk) as forensic auditor to investigate corporate transactions spanning from April 1, 2016, to March 31, 2026. The board initiated the audit effective August 19, 2026, after identifying irregularities during a preliminary review of the company’s affairs following its reconstitution in February 2026.
The current board noted that the erstwhile board had represented the company’s affairs as a "clean slate" without material transactions requiring investigation. However, the preliminary review uncovered transactions involving possible undervaluation, illegal dealings with related or connected parties, and lack of adequate documentary support or requisite approvals.
Key Findings and Audit Scope
The review highlighted several specific concerns regarding financial governance:
- Utilisation of borrowed funds for purposes other than those sanctioned.
- Possible diversion or misapplication of funds.
- Issues concerning customer receipts and amounts required to be deposited in designated or project-specific accounts, including Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) accounts.
AdvaRisk, a division of SLO Technologies Private Limited, was selected for its experience in conducting third-party investigations for financial institutions, banks, NBFCs, and private equity investors.
Project Authorizations and Governance Changes
In addition to the forensic audit, the board cancelled earlier resolutions passed by the erstwhile directors on November 3, 2021, which authorized Shri Dhirendra Singh, Shri Devendra Kumar Agrawal, and Shri Inder Goel to sign sale and conveyance deeds for the Sushant Taj City project in Agra.
The board authorized Shri Shreesh Asthana and Shri Sandeep Mishra to execute all necessary acts, deeds, and documents for signing and presenting sale and conveyance deeds for the same Agra project.
Ongoing Insolvency Proceedings
The company disclosed that the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, is currently confined to projects in Lucknow and Rajasthan, as per a settlement agreement dated March 3, 2022, between IL&FS Financial Services Limited and Ansal Properties & Infrastructure Ltd. These projects are managed by Resolution Professional Shri Navneet Kumar Gupta.
Shri Navneet Kumar Gupta also manages the Serene Residency Group Housing Project in Greater Noida, whose resolution plan was approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), New Delhi Bench II, on October 6, 2025. The Fernhill Project in Gurugram is managed by Resolution Professional Shri Jalesh Kumar Grover.
