Future Enterprises Ltd (FEL) has defaulted on payment of Rs 19.16 crore to Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank and Union Bank of India under the one-time restructuring plan.

This is the second default by FEL this month.

The due date for payment of Rs 19.16 crore was March 28, FEL said in a regulatory filing.

"The company was not able to discharge the aforesaid obligations to respective banks/lenders, on due date," it said.

On March 25, the Future Group firm had informed about defaulting on repayment of Rs 93.99 crore to Punjab National Bank and Canara Bank under the OTR (One Time Restructuring Plan). The deadline for the repayment was March 23.

The group's leading company Future Retail Ltd defaulted on payment of Rs 3,494.56 crore to banks in January under the OTR plan.

FEL is a part of Rs 24,713 crore deal announced by the Future Group in August 2020, under which it is to sell 19 companies operating in retail, wholesale, logistics and warehousing assets to Reliance Retail.
