ED Registers FEMA Case Against Myntra Over FDI Violations
Imagine a company, Myntra, got money from other countries to help their business.
The government has rules about how companies can use this money.
The ED thinks Myntra broke these rules.
They believe Myntra pretended to be a wholesale seller but was actually selling to regular customers.
The government says Myntra wasn't supposed to do this.
Now, the ED has filed a case, which means they're investigating Myntra, and the company may face penalties.
