PNB Scam: How ₹11,400 Crore Fraud Went Undetected

The PNB Scam 2018 was one of India's most shocking banking fraud cases, involving transactions initially reported at approximately ₹11,400 crore. How did the Nirav Modi scam expose serious weaknesses in Punjab National Bank's internal controls and banking systems? In this investigative 2D documentary, we uncover the story behind the Punjab National Bank fraud, the role of Letters of Undertaking (LoUs), the SWIFT messaging system, and the banking control failures that allowed suspicious transactions to go undetected for years. In February 2018, the PNB fraud case sent shockwaves through India's financial system. At the centre of the investigation were diamond businessman Nirav Modi, his business associates, Mehul Choksi, and certain bank officials whose alleged roles came under scrutiny. But this was not a conventional bank robbery. The case involved banking guarantees, international credit, financial records, and questions about how transactions could be processed without being properly reflected in the bank's central accounting system. How did Letters of Undertaking work? Why was the difference between SWIFT messages and core banking records so important? How were overseas banks involved, and what triggered the discovery of the alleged fraud? This documentary examines the key events leading to the public disclosure of the scandal, the investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the subsequent legal proceedings involving Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi. We also explore the international dimension of the case, the challenges of recovering assets, the financial pressure on Punjab National Bank, and the wider questions raised about banking supervision, accountability, and public trust. What you will learn in this documentary: How the PNB scam unfolded and why it became a national issue. What SWIFT and Letters of Undertaking are. How weaknesses in banking controls can create enormous financial risks. What investigators examined in the Nirav Modi fraud case. Why recovering assets and pursuing international legal proceedings can take years. What India's banking system learned from the scandal. This video is an educational and historical account based on publicly reported events. Allegations, investigations, and final judicial findings are distinct, and the legal responsibility of each individual must be assessed according to the relevant proceedings.
