After encountering obstacles in their plans for a ₹6,000-crore IPO, EbixCash now faces the challenge of exploring alternative strategies due to regulatory and litigation concerns.

Risk of Losing Remittance Licenses

Amidst the bankruptcy proceedings of Ebix in the US, there is a looming threat on EbixCash’s remittance licenses, further complicating the sale of the company.

Challenges in Finding Buyers

Despite initial interest from key players in the fintech and non-banking sectors, legal issues and reputational risks have stalled the progress towards finding a suitable buyer for EbixCash.

Reputation Concerns
