Cinema Capital Venture Fund — Illegal & unilateral extension of the fund maturity

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 110070
Website:www.cinemacapitalindia.com

This company is a big fraud. They promised returns of 35 % at time of launch of the fund to entice investors. I invested rs. 20 l on the promise that in 5 years time (Maturity period of the fund), the funds will give returns which would be secure and attractive..

They have paid nothing and in turn asked for first extension for 2 years and then again for 1 year extensions and warned now that if we insist on refund, the fund nav has eroded by 90 %. Based on this, they got extensions to the initial maturity period of 5 years. Over 7 years have now elapsed with zero returns and a bleak future for investors. I did not give my consent for this extension when last asked in oct'15.

The owner mr. Samir gupta has pocketed rs. 35 crores as upfront management fee from the investors and is not bothered. He does not respond to emails or phone calls.

Since sebi was involved in giving approval for this fund, we need to collectively approach them and lodge a complaint for recovery of our monies.

Thru this mail, i am requesting all investors to provide their email addresses and other contact details and let us form a group to collectively get mr. Gupta to at least pay up our principal amounts invested even if we cannot get ant interest on it.

Pl respond and let us apply pressure thru sebi, fir etc else our monies are doomed.

We have also invested in this fund Rs.10l.
We should fight this legally. It was known from their regular reports that the funds are diverted to their own company. I had discussed this with my ICICI wealth manager as well, but he did not give any response and helpless. This is a serious fraud done by the Guptas and Mehra.
We have invested in name of our company Intra Electronics.

Our company SGK International invested Rs. 10 L in this fund. In 2017 after much earlier correspondence we sent a legal notice through an advocate to Samir Gupta to which he replied denying all our allegations and saying that he will respond with more details in due course. Of course nothing further was heard from him after that. On behalf of my company I sent an online complaint to SEBI on 14th May 2018. I am prepared to share a copy of my complaint to SEBI with all other investors who have provided email addresses on this page. We should form an investors' forum or group to collectively approach SEBI and to ensure we at least get Samir Gupta what he deserves for defrauding us and also try to get whatever possible of our investment back.

My name is Sunir Khurana, Director in SGK International Pvt. Ltd. (investor company) and my email address is sunir.[protected]@sgk.co.in

I will shortly send out an email with copy of my complaint to SEBI. Any suggestions on how to proceed further will be most welcome.

Any updates? I also want to join the group to fight this.
I am an NRI and I have also invested Rs 20 lakhs in this fund. I got cheated first by Bank Manager (POONAM GURBAXANI) in ABN AMRO BANK in Delhi who sold me this fund with a big promise and told me it is a capital protected fund. Now after 8- 9 years i have got nothing. All the Bank employees and fund Managers have earned big money and left the investors with nothing. This is a serious fraud done by the Guptas and Mehra. we should collectively file a case of fraud against these managers before they leave the country.

Let us hire a good lawyer and file a case jointly. Then we can put pressure on the fund managers and hopefully they get some punishment. My email is [protected]@hotmail.com.
I too am an investor in this fund and am stuck with no visibility of recovery of my hard earned money. Pls count me in for any action we want to initiate to book the culprits and fund managers who are involved in this fraud. It would help if any of you updates me in the current state of complaint filed on behalf of investor's to SEBI or any other authority. Thanks

I have also invested Rs 10 lakhs in this fund. This was under the advice of "wealth manager" of ABN AMRO BANK in Mumbai who sold me this fund with a big promise and told me it is a capital protected fund.
further more there is no feed back from CCV, in spite of writing emails and calling them up.
I suggest we should have a e-mail group to keep us informed.

I hv also invested 10L thru ICICI in 2010 and got nothing till now. Pl update on what to be done. my mail id is [protected]@gmail.com.
As a senior citizen I feel duped by RBS who promoted this fradulent fund (CCVF) of Samir Gupta. For the last 10 years we have not recieved a single penny. It is so suprising that in such a regulated environment where investor interests are protected, SEBI failed to carry out any checks. That a SEBI approved fund can hoodwink poor investors of their hard earned money is a proof of how our regulators, even thow they have power enshrined through legisltive process, are toothless in the face o[censored]nscruplous fund promoters. Enquiries with CCVF are met with no response. I am heart broken. Please help me.
