When the journey of Financial Technologies Group came to a halt

The journey of Financial Technologies Group came to an abrupt halt just because of payment defaults at one of its subsidiaries. Government and regulatory authorities could have surely recognized the power of enterprise that the Financial Technologies Group has built, the impeccable record of conduct it has displayed in public markets, the unblemished achievement of enriching thousands of its shareholders with uninterrupted dividend payout for 36 consecutive quarters, getting accolades and recognition from global and domestic institutions, including multilateral institutions such as UNCTAD, FAO, and should have extended a helping hand to the Financial Technologies Group to overcome the crisis, which could have enabled it to solve the settlement crisis quickly and take the country towards the next generation of growth and development in the financial markets. The world over it is not uncommon for the Government to give temporary and ad-hoc support to institutions in crisis. If the US and European regulators and governments would have adopted the same stance as that of the Indian Government and the FMC, there would not have been anything of US or European finance left by now. Globally, Governments and crisis-hit institutions have always worked hand in hand in solving the problem and enabled both to reach recovery within a short time, which
proved helpful to investors, customers and other constituents of the economy and finance. Unfortunately in the case of the Financial Technologies Group, it was nothing but vilification and witch-hunt from all sides, be it the government or the regulator or the agencies that have pressed it into a corner disabling its power to recover and redress quickly.

Even without assistance and support and despite being under constant and continuous harassment, NSEL is determined to get itself out of the crisis and redress grievances of the claims of trading clients. It is extending cooperation and actively coordinating with the courts and other agencies towards realization of dues from the defaulters that could lead to an early settlement. In all these efforts, FTIL is fully supporting NSEL, both with personnel and finance.
