“ICICI Bank has lending relationships with the customer. After the customer defaulted on its payments, the bank has initiated legal recovery actions against the assets of the customer in order to protect its interests. As a counter, the customer has filed a complaint against the bank for an old facility, which the customer repaid a few years ago. The bank has vigorously denied and rebutted all allegations and claims made by the customer. The matter is sub-judice in a Belgium court,” a spokesperson of ICICI Bank said in an e-mailed response to Business Standard’s query on this subject.

It is learnt that the bank has attached the customer’s assets in Hong Kong after it defaulted on loan repayment.
