Panipat Computer Dealers Association bans SES

The ban imposed on national distributor, SES Technologies by the Panipat
Computer Dealers Association (PCDA) has sent a strong message to the distributor
community within the city. The move was planned a month ago after the
distributor failed to respond to the association's repeated request to meet and
resolve a particular issue. This stance has now boosted the confidence of the
dealers in the association.

According to Ajay Singla, President, PCDA, the entire issue dates back to
roughly a year and half ago when Compware Computer, a dealer based in Yamuna
Nagar wanted to purchase a laptop. Since the dealer was blacklisted and did not
hold a good reputation, they got in touch with Manish Lodhi, Branch Manager, SES
Techno­logies (Panipat) and requested him to dispatch the material. Lodhi sent
him the laptop, and instead billed Sandeep Bansal, Proprietor, Computer People,
who had earlier issued a blank cheque in favor of SES Techno­logies, towards
some payments that was due against the company. Later when Bansal's cheque
bounced, SES Techno­logies blacklisted him. “They misused my blank cheque to
cover the expenses of Compware Computers,” said Bansal.
