Allegations of Fraud and Misrepresentation
According to the CBI, the case involves allegations of criminal conspiracy, cheating, misappropriation, and violations under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The agency has also named unknown public servants and other unidentified individuals in the case.
The complaint alleges that LIC was fraudulently induced into investing approximately ₹4,500 crore in Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) issued by RCom. It is claimed that the company and its management misrepresented their financial health, as well as the security and asset backing offered for these investments.
Forensic Audit Flags Irregularities
The case is based on findings from a forensic audit conducted by BDO India LLP in October 2020. The audit reportedly uncovered serious financial irregularities, including diversion and misutilisation of funds raised from banks and financial institutions.
Investigators have pointed to complex fund routing through subsidiaries, alleged use of shell entities, discounting of fictitious invoices, and creation of fake debtors and receivables. The audit also highlighted a significant mismatch between declared assets and actual security provided.
Multiple Cases Already Under Investigation
This is not the first time Anil Ambani and RCom have come under the CBI’s scrutiny. The agency had earlier registered three cases against the company and its officials over alleged bank fraud.
In one such case, the State Bank of India (SBI) accused RCom and its promoters of causing a loss of ₹2,929.05 crore. The FIR, registered in August 2025, was based on allegations of large-scale diversion of loan funds between 2013 and 2017.
The SBI-led consortium included 11 banks, such as Bank of India, Union Bank of India, Canara Bank, and IDBI Bank, among others. Several additional complaints have since been filed by other public sector banks, including Punjab National Bank and Bank of Baroda.

Expanding Investigation
Officials confirmed that the investigation into the LIC-related case is currently underway. The CBI is expected to examine financial records, audit findings, and transaction trails to establish the extent of alleged wrongdoing.
The case adds to the growing legal and financial challenges faced by Anil Ambani’s business group, which has been dealing with mounting debt and regulatory scrutiny in recent years.
Conclusion
The registration of the ₹3,750 crore LIC case marks a significant escalation in the investigations surrounding Reliance Communications. As authorities dig deeper into the alleged financial irregularities, the outcome of the probe could have far-reaching implications for corporate governance and financial accountability in India.
