ED Files Complaint Against Myntra For Alleged FDI Violations
Imagine a big online store, Myntra, that was supposed to follow special rules because it got money from other countries.
The government thinks Myntra broke these rules.
Myntra said it was a wholesale seller, but really sold to customers through another company it owned.
This let them get more money than they should have.
The government is now investigating because Myntra didn't follow the rules about how foreign money can be used in the business.
The government thinks that Myntra was using the foreign investment money in a way that wasn't allowed by the rules.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a complaint against Myntra Designs Pvt. Ltd. for alleged FDI violations.
The ED claims Myntra violated FDI regulations by routing sales through a related company.
Myntra allegedly declared itself as a wholesale business to secure FDI worth ₹1,654.35 crore.
The investigation revealed Myntra sold 100% of its wholesale goods to a related entity, Vector E-Commerce.
The ED alleges Myntra bypassed FDI caps, violating FEMA 1999 and FDI policies.
