Two statements are followed by three Conclusions I, II and III. You have to consider the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You are to decide which of the given conclusions can definitely be drawn from the given statements and indicate your answer accordingly. Statements: I. Fraud-hit Punjab National (PNB) today said it has no plans to close operations at its Brady House branch, the fountainhead of the Rs. 14,000 crore Nirav Modi scam. II. Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi, in connivance with certain bank officials, allegedly cheated PNB of about Rs. 14,000 crore through issuance of fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LoUs).  Conclusions: I. PNB's Brady House branch in Mumbai had fraudulently issued LoUs for the group of companies belonging to Nirav Modi since March 2011. PNB has no plans to close operations in the Brady House branch in Mumbai. II. Reallocation of some of the accounts is part of the regular restructuring process at PNB to strengthen internal systems and processes and centralize certain critical functions  III. With regards to provision made for the loss incurred on account of the Nirav Modi fraud, the bank provided Rs. 7,178 crore, 50 per cent of the total amount of Rs. 14,356 crore, in the fourth quarter of 2017-18. The remaining amount will be covered in the three quarters of the current fiscal year.
In each question below is given a statement numbered I, II and III. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement. Statement: About a year ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had told the world that the signature of a chartered accountant on financial statements was, perhaps, more powerful than even one of his own. ‘Just like doctors don’t want people to be ill to get more business, chartered accountants, too, need to safeguard the society’s economic health. Your signature is more powerful than the PM’s, and the government also believes the accounts signed by you’, Modi had said.  Assumptions: I. The CA community, however, may not have woken up to the value of the initials they put on financial statements. Last year has been more of a challenge for the community’s reputation, with banking frauds, asset quality divergences and mid-term auditor resignations dominating the headlines.  II. There cannot be a situation where there will be 100% agreement on everything. You may have rules but still judgmental factors in credit, asset recognition come in. The approach is that as soon as the asset is stretched, banks have to recognise the problem.  III. But even basic logic just went out of the window and banks together kept dishing out loans to such companies even when their annual turnover was half of the total debt.
