The World Bank published the names of all companies it bars from receiving Bank contracts. The list included three Indian firms including India's third largest IT services provider Wipro.
It said it has barred Wipro Technologies for four years for "improper benefits to bank staff". In 2008, World Bank banned Satyam for eight years for alleged malpractices, including bribery. The World Bank debarment was meted out for "improper benefits to bank staff" and "lack of documentation on invoices."
Incidentally, World Bank had informed Wipro in June 2007 itself about its ineligibility to bid for the bank's direct contracts till 2011. The bank cited a conflict of interest policy.
