CBI charges SAP, IBM, And Former CMD Of Air India For Irregularities In Software Purchases

In relation to suspected irregularities in the national carrier’s 2011 software purchases worth ₹225 crore, the CBI reportedly filed a charge sheet against IBM, SAP India, and the CMD of Air India, according to authorities on Sunday.

People within the investigating agency who are aware of the development said that the CBI has opened a case based on the Central Vigilance Commission’s (CVC) suggestion, which discovered what appeared to be prima facie procedural flaws in the software procurement process.

Following nearly six years of investigation, the CBI has filed a charge sheet under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act and IPC section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) against former CMD Air India Arvind Jadhav, IBM India Private Limited, SAP India Private Limited, and six other parties, they said.

According to the CVC’s report to the CBI, Air India’s chief vigilance officer’s preliminary investigation indicates that the national carrier chose the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system from SAP AG without adhering to the correct tendering procedure.
