The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has compounded certain violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) by Myntra Designs Private Limited, paving the way for the closure of an Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation into the matter.In a statement issued on Thursday, the ED said the RBI passed a compounding order on April 20, 2026 under Section 15 of FEMA after receiving a "No Objection" from the agency. The order resulted in the termination of the investigation against the company for the alleged contraventions.The case stemmed from an ED probe initiated in July 2025 on the basis of what the agency described as credible information regarding possible FEMA violations by Myntra, linked companies and directors for FDI "contravention" of over Rs 1,654 crore.According to the ED, the violations related to delays in submitting Annual Performance Reports (APRs) for overseas investments and undertaking overseas direct investment commitments before complying with reporting requirements.The RBI compounded two contraventions. The first involved a delay in submitting APRs under the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Any Foreign Security) Regulations, 2004, covering transactions worth Rs 42.85 crore. The second related to undertaking financial commitments through overseas direct investment despite pending APR submissions, involving Rs 3.03 crore.The company subsequently approached the RBI seeking compounding of the violations under Section 15 of FEMA."On reference from RBI, the ED issued no objection for such compounding in line with the true spirit of the Act," the agency said.Following the ED's no-objection, the RBI compounded the violations through its order dated April 20, 2026, on payment of a one-time amount of Rs 2.88 lakh.

The US Trade Representative has proposed new duties targeting 60 economies, including Pakistan and India, for alleged failures to act against forced labour, as the Trump administration seeks to rebuild its tariff agenda following legal setbacks. The proposed tariffs range from 10 per cent to 12.5pc, according to a government filing, and they will undergo a public comment period before a final decision is made. The move comes months after Washington launched investigations into trading partners, including China, the European Union (EU) and Japan. The probes looked into whether they took action against the import of goods made with forced labour, and if this impacted US commerce. On Tuesday, the USTR said that 54 of the economies “failed to impose and effectively enforce a forced labour import prohibition”. This group includes China, Vietnam, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and India. Six other economies — Canada, Ecuador, the EU, Indonesia, Mexico and Pakistan — were deemed not to have effectively enforced such prohibitions. “The failure of our most important trading partners to address the importation of goods made with forced labour is unacceptable,” USTR Jamieson Greer said in a statement. “This creates a dynamic where American workers are forced to compete globally on an unlevel playing field,” he added. “We will no longer tolerate this disparity,” he said, adding that “each of our trading partners must do more to ensure that trade does not perversely encourage and entrench forced labour globally”. The USTR said it determined that it would impose 10pc duties related to the forced labour investigation on imports from Canada, Ecuador, the EU, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Britain. The trade agency said it would impose additional duties of 12.5pc on the remaining 45 countries that it investigated. But the proposed tariffs come with various exemptions such as beef, coffee and certain fruits and nuts. Goods from Canada and Mexico that comply with a North American free trade pact will also be exempt — as will certain textiles and apparel. The public is invited to provide written comments by July 6, and the USTR will subsequently hold hearings. The announcement comes ahead of the July 24 expiration of a 10pc temporary tariff imposed by the Trump administration on February 20, the day the Supreme Court struck down US President Donald Trump’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

"The rating action factors in ICRA’s expectation of a further strengthening in the credit profile of the Vedanta Group in FY2027, building on the considerable improvement witnessed in FY2026. This has been supported by a sharp increase in base metal prices, which has contributed to a strong financial risk profile for the Group, which reported an OPBDITA of $6.7 billion in FY26,” the ratings agency said.Also Read | Vedanta shares jump 2% to hit fresh 52-week high.

AS the government prepares the budget for FY27, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s meeting with the country’s leading businessmen on Monday offered a glimpse of the wide gap that exists between the two sides’ perception of Pakistan’s economic recovery. While the businessmen pressed their case for tax relief, faster refunds and deeper economic reforms, Mr Sharif boasted of the stability his government had pulled off and his intention of converting recovery into growth. The government’s narrative is simple. After saving Pakistan from a likely sovereign default, restoring macroeconomic stability, reducing inflation and complying with the IMF programme, officialdom believes the foundation for sustained recovery has been laid. PM Sharif argued that the next phase would focus on growth. He did not say when. But the businessmen’s proposals suggest that much of the private sector is unconvinced that the investment climate has improved. Their proposals focused on familiar but unresolved concerns: higher taxes, stuck-up refunds, excessive compliance burdens, policy unpredictability and absence of reforms to encourage investment and exports. These concerns are not new. By repeating them, the business leaders once again laid bare the mismatch in perceptions. For the government, the economy may be more stable now than it was three years ago, but for manufacturers and exporters, it is still difficult to do business. Credit conditions remain restrictive despite monetary easing, industrial output is subdued and private investment has yet to recover. Businesses argue that the stabilisation strategy, while necessary, has extracted a heavy toll in terms of growth and export competitiveness. To ease pressure on the business community, Mr Sharif instructed the FBR to clear all pending tax refunds by June 15. Similarly, he decided to maintain the export refinance scheme rate at 4.5pc until June 2027 to provide certainty to exporters navigating a tight financing environment. But these measures are not likely to restore business confidence, encourage private investment, make exports competitive or boost growth. Likewise, the business community’s supportive tone during the meeting should not be taken as an expression of their satisfaction with the existing economic conditions. While the larger business community acknowledges that it was essential to restore macroeconomic stability, it is already asking when the economy will start to grow. The PM’s emphasis on SMEs, housing, privatisation and e-vehicle manufacturing suggests he recognises the need for a growth narrative beyond fiscal consolidation. But his hands remain tied. Chances of his government pushing growth under the IMF appear dim. The upcoming budget will, therefore, be an austere document like before. And the problems that business leaders have asked the PM to address will remain unresolved even next year. This is how mismanaged economies generate crises. Published in Dawn, June 3rd, 2026
