22. ULTIMATE LIABILITIES
• Nirav Modi companies have not repaid such
buyer’s credit liabilities and thus, these all
liabilities are now on PNB, since PNB has issued
LOU to foreign banks for giving Nirav Modi’s
companies .
• PNB has no source of direct recovery as it has
issued these LOUs without security deposit .
