The company purchased 2 million shares of City Hotels through auction bidding. Goyal holds 5.31% shares in Asian Life and 26% ownership in City Hotels, where he also serves as Chairman. The Insurance Act strictly prohibits insurers from doing business or investing in companies where their directors or major shareholders (those holding more than 1%) have financial interests. Officials from the Insurance Authority have termed this move a direct violation of the law.
