This declaration was reported to the Reserve Bank of India on December 16, 2025. The letter, dated December 17, 2025, and received by RTL on December 22, 2025, concerns a consolidated amount of ₹18.40 Crore (₹18,40,08,391) related to RTL. The Central Bank of India had granted various credit facilities to Reliance Communications Limited and Reliance Telecom Limited, totaling ₹400.00 Crores, including term loans and a performance bank guarantee. RTL's loan accounts were classified as Non-Performing Assets on June 30, 2017. Subsequent monitoring revealed irregularities, leading to a forensic audit by BDO India LLP.
