The enforcement director has summoned Bollywood actress Yami Gautam, in connection with an alleged violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act. This is the second summon issued to the actress, and now she has been asked to visit the ED office in Mumbai on July 7.
The official report stated that the actress had received an amount of over ₹1 crore from an overseas entity a few years ago. She didn’t disclose it and didn’t comply with mandatory FEMA Rules. Sources said that, the Central agency about the suspicious overseas transaction in her bank account involving funds equivalent to over ₹1 crore. Following this, the Central agency initiated enquiry proceedings under FEMA against the actress last year.
ED officials further informed that earlier ED had sent a summon. ut due to the pandemic-induced lockdown restrictions, she didn’t show up at the ED office. So a fresh summon has been issued to her recently.
She has been summoned to show details about the overseas transactions. If she is found guilty during the investigation, she may be asked to pay a hefty penalty for violations under FEMA or may face other punishments as prescribed under FEMA, ED sources indicated. ED officials have further informed that further investigation in the case is going on.
