Myntra Faces FEMA Notice for Alleged FDI Rule Violations
Imagine Myntra, a big online store, was supposed to follow certain rules about how it gets money from other countries.
The government thinks Myntra pretended to be a company that sells things in bulk to other businesses, when really, it was selling directly to shoppers.
This breaks a rule designed to help small stores in India.
Now, the government is asking Myntra to explain why they shouldn't be fined a lot of money.
Myntra says they will help the government with any questions.
Myntra, an e-commerce platform, faces a Rs 1,654 crore FEMA notice for alleged FDI violations.
The Enforcement Directorate claims Myntra misused the 'wholesale cash and carry' model.
Myntra allegedly sold goods to Vector E-Commerce, which then sold them to consumers.
India's FDI policy restricts foreign companies from direct wholesale and consumer sales.
Myntra stated it hasn't received related documents and is committed to cooperating with authorities.
