CUDDALORE: Investors who have not yet received refunds from the Thiruvalargal Shruthi Auto Saving Scheme are urged to submit the necessary documents to claim their investment amount, announced District Collector Sibi Adhithya Senthil Kumar.
In a press statement on Friday, the collector explained that the Thiruvalargal Shruthi Auto Saving Scheme, a financial institution established in 1995 by K Kalidasan and M Rajkumar, operated from Vadalur Main Road, Kurinjipadi Taluk, Cuddalore district.
The firm collected funds from 312 investors but failed to return the invested amounts. Subsequently, the Cuddalore Economic Offences Wing registered a case, and a charge sheet was filed in the Special Court for Economic Offences (TANPID) in Chennai in 2007.
"Following the directives of the Chennai Special Economic Offences Court, refunds have been issued to most investors. However, some investors have not yet claimed their investment amounts.
Those who are yet to receive their refunds are requested to submit the relevant documents in person to the designated official (District Revenue Officer) at the Cuddalore District Collector’s office for immediate processing," the District Collector said.
