After Christian Michel's extradition, Vijay Mallya makes 'humble' offer to pay back loan to banks, requests govt to 'take it'

Fugitive economic offender Vijay Mallya has made another offer to the government to pay back his dues. This offer is being reiterated five days before his extradition request will be heard in a UK court. A UK court had fixed 10 December as the date to deliver its verdict on whether the beleaguered liquor baron can be extradited to India to face charges of fraud and money laundering amounting to around Rs 9,000 crores. In a series of tweets on Tuesday he hit back at the government:

For three decades running India’s largest alcoholic beverage group, we contributed thousands of crores to the State exchequers. Kingfisher Airlines also contributed handsomely to the States. Sad loss of the finest Airline but still I offer to pay Banks so no loss. Please take it.

Politicians and Media are constantly talking loudly about my being a defaulter who has run away with PSU Bank money. All this is false. Why don’t I get fair treatment and the same loud noise about my comprehensive settlement offer before the Karnataka High Court. Sad.

Mallya reiterated that he had made a “comprehensive settlement” offer before the Karnataka High Court that will help in paying off all his dues.

Reuters[/caption] According to Mallya, he and the United Breweries Group (UBHL) had filed an application in the Karnataka High Court on 22 June 2018, setting out available assets of approximately Rs 13,900 crores. They have asked the court for permission to allow the sale of assets under judicial supervision and repay creditors, including the public sector banks such amounts as may be directed and determined by the Court. Mallya said that airlines are suffering due to high costs of jet fuel or Aviation Turbine Fuel and tweeted he had made an offer to the banks ’to repay 100 percent of the principal’ he owed them.

Airlines struggling financially partly becoz of high ATF prices. Kingfisher was a fab airline that faced the highest ever crude prices of $ 140/barrel. Losses mounted and that’s where Banks money went.I have offered to repay 100 % of the Principal amount to them. Please take it.

Earlier this week, credit ratings agency ICRA said severely mauled by the twin blows of a  significant increase in ATF prices and the depreciation of the rupee against the US dollar, the Indian aviation industry continues to grapple with tough times in the current fiscal. “As if this was not enough, low pricing power of the industry and inability to raise fares has resulted in mounting losses for the airlines,” the agency had said. Taking a swipe at the media for what he termed as a ‘media narrative’ about his extradition, he said this was a separate issue and would take its own legal course.

I see the quick media narrative about my extradition decision. That is separate and will take its own legal course. The most important point is public money and I am offering to pay 100% back. I humbly request the Banks and Government to take it. If payback refused, WHY ?
