New Delhi: The Directorship details of Karti P Chidambaram, son of Former Indian Finance P Chidambaram, raises several questions related to the way the business was conducted during his hay days as director in several companies.

 According to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, documents available with INDvestigations, Karti P Chidambaram, as on April 15, 2014, he was one of the directors in atleast 15 companies. Later he resigned and remained in the board of Directors of atleast 8 companies after resigning from the directorship of 7 companies after the 2G  scam came into the public domain.

He was caught in Aircel- when he resigned from Ausbridge soon after Dr. Subramanium Swamy announced the list of his companies.

Surprisingly, keeping all rules and regulations at bay, younger Chidambaram managed to operate his businesses through SIX DIN (Director Identification Number) numbers. Legally, According to the law, this is an unique number like PAN, Voter Card, Passport etc given to an existing or a potential Director of any company which is incorporated.



This was in gross violation of the law of the land and was using in various business organizations where he was the director and according to his own whims and fancies.

The question arises is whether the set of rules for the common business persons were different from the high and influential people during the Congress regime? What was the need for Karti to conduct his business with six different DIN numbers? Was it done to evade taxes and to ease his off shore business?

A few questions which needs to be answered.
