# Bank of India declares Future Enterprises account fraud 2026-10-12T22:16:36+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Bank of India has declared the ₹575.40-crore outstanding account of Future Enterprises Ltd as fraudulent and reported the matter to the RBI on Monday, 12 October 2026. The state-owned lender said it has fully provisioned for the entire amount. Future Enterprises, promoted by Kishore Biyani, holds the group's investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures. It was part of a ₹24,713-crore deal with Reliance Retail announced in August 2020, but Reliance called off the deal in April 2021 after failing to get lenders' support. The Times of India reports the company was admitted to the corporate insolvency resolution process by the Mumbai bench of NCLT in February 2023. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets reported the same core facts: a ₹575.40-crore fraud declaration by Bank of India, full provisioning, and reporting to the RBI.
