This document discusses the 1992 securities scam perpetrated by Harshad Mehta in India. It provides an overview of how Mehta used his brokerage firms Grow More Research and Asset Management Co. and fake bank receipts to illegally divert funds from banks to inflate stock prices. The scam had widespread impacts, resulting in losses of Rs. 4,000 crores for banks, the suicide of a bank chairman, and calls to slow economic liberalization efforts in India at the time. Actions taken in response included removing bogus receipts as an instrument and investigating potential bribery of then-Prime Minister Narsimha Rao.
