The National Spot Exchange Ltd payment crisis of Rs 5,600 crore came to light on July 31, 2013 when the exchange suspended trading. NSEL has established the full money trail to the last paisa of the defaulters. NSEL has been pursuing recovery as a lone fighter through various legal means such as petitions in courts and with investigative agencies, having obtained some decrees and injunction orders, while clients and brokers have not participated or pursued recovery from defaulters. All agencies have found the full money trail, so the entire truth will eventually be revealed, including some clients having directly taken money from defaulters, with prior relationships existing between defaulters, brokers and clients.
