Charges / Loans
ConfirmedConfirmed. Total charge-holder exposure is large and diversified across many small private-lender entities (RPT-style loans), e.g.:
- GYAN ENTERPRISES PRIVATE LIMITED — ₹30.0 Cr (3 charges)
- ART FOREVER PRIVATE LIMITED — ₹25.4 Cr (2 charges)
- WIDRAMAC SALES PRIVATE LIMITED — ₹12.0 Cr (1 charge)
- UNIPRAN SALES PRIVATE LIMITED — ₹11.5 Cr (2 charges) + a further ₹5.0 Cr charge dated 29 May 2025
- SAGELOCK INVESTMENTS PRIVATE LIMITED — ₹8.0 Cr (1 charge)
- BOOM WORKS COMMUNICATIONS INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED — ₹5.0 Cr (29 May 2025)
- FORTBRIDGE CONSULTING PRIVATE LIMITED — ₹0.8 Cr (16 May 2025); NICE FLATS PRIVATE LIMITED — ₹1.0 Cr (16 May 2025)
- Mrs. Renuka Daulet Singh (individual) — ₹3.0 Cr (02 May 2025); Iconic Creative Ventures Private Limited — ₹3.0 Cr (18 Mar 2025)
Falconebiz aggregate stat (96 total charge records; ₹182.7 Cr open / ₹232.98 Cr satisfied) roughly corroborates a large, active charge book but the two sources' totals aren't reconcilable line-by-line (aggregator differences flagged, per known data-source trap). "No open charges shown" is not asserted here — this entity clearly has open charges.
Legal
ConfirmedConfirmed (Indian Kanoon) — multiple Delhi High Court proceedings, entity appears as both petitioner and respondent (32 total matching documents on Indian Kanoon; top entries):
- DAG Private Limited vs. Ravi Shankar Institute For Music And Dance — W.P.(COMM) 274/2022, I.A. 10459/2022, hearings 11 Jul 2022, 29 May 2023, 14 Sep 2023, 16 Nov 2023.
- DAG Private Limited vs. Deputy Commissioner Of Income Tax — W.P.(C) 17819/2024 & CM No. 75845/2024, hearings 23 Dec 2024, 04 Mar 2025, 14 Jul 2025 (tax dispute, ongoing as of mid-2025).
- Ravi Shankar Institute For Music And Dance vs. DAG Private Limited — 01 Jun 2022 (reverse-caption filing of the same underlying dispute).
Full docket (remaining ~29 documents) not reviewed in depth; nature of most appears to be the same tenancy/premises dispute plus an income-tax writ.
