Event Summary

The State Bank of India (RBI) has issued a compounding order against Apollo Hospitals and five of its directors and officers, including Preetha Reddy and Suneetha Reddy, for multiple violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). The violations, collectively valued at over Rs 2,400 crore, included foreign direct investment in a prohibited retail trading sector, issuance of foreign currency convertible bonds in contravention of FEMA regulations, and breaches of sectoral FDI caps. Apollo Hospitals settled the matter with a one-time payment of Rs 17.76 crore, while each of the five directors paid Rs 18 lakh separately. The India — Enforcement Directorate (ED) had investigated the contraventions and issued a 'No Objection' certificate, enabling the RBI to proceed with the compounding process. This settlement brings an end to adjudication proceedings and further litigation against the company and its directors regarding these specific contraventions.
