Calcutta: The Bengal government on Friday launched a website to keep a check on illegal deposit mobilising companies that allegedly continue to operate in the state even after the Saradha scam. This would help the directorate (of economic offences wing) to run a scan on any company in case of a doubt," De said. Sources said the directorate would keep special tabs on companies registered as finance firms, which reportedly use the mask of Non-Banking Finance Companies and mobilise deposits. "Even after the Saradha scam, we have been receiving complaints about deposit-mobilising companies luring investors", said B.B. Insiders said the website would have links to the database of almost all firms that are registered and have substantial operations in Bengal.
