The Central Bureau of Investigation filed two chargesheets Friday against suspects in separate IDFC First Bank fraud cases originating in Haryana and Chandigarh, court filings show.
Investigators allege conspirators siphoned hundreds of crores from government-linked accounts by exploiting weak verification controls and colluding with insiders.
The cases involve forged documentation, shell entities and rapid movement of funds through multiple lenders before discrepancies triggered audits.
CBI officials said both chargesheets name former relationship managers and external brokers who facilitated unauthorized withdrawals over several quarters.
Public-sector depositors tied to welfare and infrastructure programs were among those reporting unexplained shortfalls that prompted the federal probe.
Trials will test whether IDFC First’s post-merger compliance upgrades were sufficient to detect patterns that legacy systems missed.
