List of ZTBL defaulters

Published November 24, 2006

ISLAMABAD, Nov 23: Zari Taraqqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL) here on Thursday provided to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) the list of 47 industrialists who were written off Rs4.48 billion under the October 2002 remission of the State Bank of Pakistan for write-off of irrecoverable loans and advances.

The committee was informed that ZTBL had written off over Rs4.5billion irrecoverable loans to 11,964 defaulters under the SBP Circular No. 29 BPD. However, the irony was that a bigger chunk of the money went to only 47 industrialists, while only Rs400 million went to the rest of small farmers.
