Disclaimer

Fraud Warning Disclaimer:

Hindustan Zinc Ltd. wishes to draw the attention of members of the general public to the prevalence of fraudulent activity being perpetuated by fraudsters. It has come to our attention that unscrupulous individuals are soliciting funds and investments from the public through unofficial apps and are fraudulently utilising Vedanta and Hindustan Zinc’s name, logo, stationery and signatures. We inform the members of the public that Hindustan Zinc Limited and Vedanta never asks for any personal information, financial details or solicit funds in any manner. Any websites or apps claiming a connection to Vedanta or Hindustan Zinc Ltd. that encourages people to pay or invest funds or provide personal and/or financial information are fraudulent.

We are taking this matter extremely seriously, and we are currently working with the law enforcement authorities to identify perpetrators of this scheme. By making you aware of the existence of such schemes, we hope to avoid and ultimately stop victims falling for this scam. We at Vedanta and Hindustan Zinc Limited strongly caution the public against providing personal information, sending money or disclosing bank details to any person claiming to represent Vedanta and Hindustan Zinc Limited or to have a relationship with us.

Please note that under no circumstances shall Vedanta or Hindustan Zinc Ltd., be held liable or responsible for any claims, losses, damages, expenses, or other inconvenience resulting from or in any way connected to the actions of these imposters. Criminal and/or civil liabilities may arise from such actions, and we intend to cooperate with competent law enforcement agencies and to ask them to take appropriate action whenever such phenomena occur. Accordingly, we would ask you to immediately get in touch with us via email at HZL.ISMS@vedanta.co.in , upon receiving any such offers or claims.
