NDTV gets show-cause from ED over FEMA violations
21 Nov 2015
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a show-cause notice to private broadcaster NDTV about alleged violations of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
The company, in a filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange, said it had on Thursday (10 November) received a show-cause notice in the name of executive co-chairpersons Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy as well as executive vice-chairperson K V L Narayan Rao and NDTV Studios Ltd from the Directorate of Enforcement as to why adjudication proceedings should not be held for alleged contraventions of provisions of FEMA.
NDTV said it had been advised that the allegations of the contraventions of provisions of FEMA in the show cause notice were not legally tenable and it will reply to the same in due course of time.
NDTV had filed the notice during market hours, resulting in a sharp fall in its stock price by 7 per cent.
