Mumbai, 25 February 2020: Bank of Baroda has challenged the orders passed by the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court in the matter of a bank guarantee issued on behalf of Simplex Projects Ltd, before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

The Bank has, after seeking legal advice, decided to exercise its rights available under law, by preferring a challenge against the aforesaid orders passed by the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

The matter pertains to a bank guarantee of Rs 6.97 crore furnished by Bank of Baroda to Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) on behalf of Simplex Projects Limited. IOCL had raised a demand to encash the amounts under the bank guarantee, which the Bank did not release since the bank guarantee was not valid on the date of its invocation.

Bank of Baroda has assured its customers and stakeholders that it is business as usual for the Bank. The Bank will take appropriate steps and comply with all legal and regulatory requirements. Bank of Baroda stands committed to protecting customer interests and the trust placed in it.
