18 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Bharti Airtel has come under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for alleged violations of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). The directorate of enforcement has initiated enquiries about suspected contraventions of the provisions of the FEMA by the company.

Market regulator SEBI had also received complaints alleging that promoters of Bharti Airtel increased their shareholding to 67.15% as on September 30, 2008 from 60.91% on Jun 30, 2007 without making an open offer as per SEBI norms. Also, the Central Board of Direct Taxes has received a separate complaint alleging improper accounting treatment of licence fee and spectrum charges by the company.

However, Bharti Airtel in its response stated that the company adheres to the highest standards of corporate governance and always complies with all the rules and regulations laid down by various agencies and the licensor namely DoT. The company further stated that they will provide all relevant details to the concerned authorities as and when required and will offer full assistance to clarify any concern.
