Karnataka High Court upholds ED seizure of Genpact’s Gurugram office - Litigation - 2 min read Karnataka High Court upholds ED seizure of Genpact’s Gurugram office Justice Suraj Govindaraj issued the order on Sept 16 based on two petitions filed by Genpact India. Bengaluru: Karnataka High Court upheld Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) seizure of Genpact India’s head office in Gurugram. But it cancelled ED’s refusal to let Genpact invest $100 million in its GIFT City company because ED gave no reasons for saying no. ED must now decide again and explain its decision. Justice Suraj Govindaraj issued the order on Sept 16 based on two petitions filed by Genpact India. ED seized the Gurugram property on Feb 3 under Section 37A of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). The action is linked to a 2015 deal in which Genpact group companies borrowed about $737.5 million abroad and brought the money into India through debentures, a type of loan. ED says the money was quickly sent back out, leaving the Indian company with the debt.

TGCSB has received a complaint from ValueFirst Digital Media, a messaging services provider, alleging that two of its clients — K Technologies and N Finvest — were affected by the unauthorised and illegal activities of three telemarketing companies. According to the complainant, in the first instance, a fake SMS containing a malicious link was sent to a mobile number using the client’s SMS header on July 9 and July 30, prompting the telecom service provider to blacklist the header. “The messages containing malicious links did not pass through our platform.
