Karnataka High Court Upholds ED Seizure in Genpact FEMA Case Involving Rs 7,800 Crore
The Karnataka High Court upheld the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) action under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) against Genpact India, dismissing the company's plea against the seizure of its Gurugram office. The case involves alleged round-tripping of about Rs 7,800 crore through transactions with overseas group entities in 2015. The court allowed Genpact to continue business operations from the seized property but barred transfer or pledging. The question of FEMA violation remains with the competent authority under Section 37A.
