ED Investigates Myntra for Alleged ₹1,654 Crore FDI Violations
Imagine Myntra got money from foreign investors, but it wasn't following the rules.
The rules said it was supposed to sell to other businesses, but instead, it was mostly selling directly to customers, like a regular store.
The government is looking into this because Myntra might have broken the rules about how foreign companies can sell things in India.
They're checking if Myntra pretended to be a business selling to other businesses to get around these rules.
The government is now investigating the company to see if it did something wrong.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a case against Myntra and its associated entities.
The case involves alleged violations of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regulations.
Myntra is accused of engaging in multi-brand retail under the guise of wholesale cash-and-carry operations.

The company is accused of bypassing restrictions on multi-brand retail under FDI norms.
