THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE DHFL SCAM

The article outlines the timeline of the DHFL scam, one of India’s largest financial frauds, involving the Wadhawan brothers who allegedly diverted over ₹30,000 crore through shell companies and fraudulent loans, some linked to criminal entities. Despite repeated allegations and forensic audits uncovering fake accounts under government housing schemes, DHFL maintained high credit ratings until it defaulted in 2019. The RBI intervened, and insolvency proceedings followed. Eventually, the Piramal Group acquired DHFL under questionable circumstances, even though competing bids offered more value. Courts upheld the resolution plan, the Wadhawans were given a clean chit in early 2025, but lakhs of depositors remain uncompensated, raising concerns about regulatory lapses, political shielding, and systemic injustice.
