ED Alleges Major Tax Evasion by Vivo, Lava MD Seeks Bail

Lava International MD Hari Om Rai applies for bail in a money laundering case linked to Vivo’s alleged illegal fund transfer to China.

NEW DELHI (India CSR): In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has accused Chinese phone manufacturer Vivo of illegally transferring a staggering sum of Rs 62,476 crore to China. This move, according to the ED, was an attempt to evade tax payments in India. The case has taken a new turn with Hari Om Rai, Managing Director of Lava International, seeking bail in connection with the money laundering investigation.

Allegations Against Vivo

The ED’s investigation has revealed that Vivo allegedly transferred Rs 62,476 crore to China to circumvent Indian tax laws. This substantial financial movement has raised serious concerns about the company’s operations and financial practices in India, prompting a thorough probe by the ED. The agency’s findings suggest a deliberate attempt by Vivo to avoid its tax obligations in India, a serious offense under Indian law.

Lava MD’s Bail Application

Amidst these allegations, Hari Om Rai, the MD of Lava International, has filed for bail. The court, led by Special Judge Tarun Yogesh, has called for a response from the ED on Rai’s application. The next hearing, scheduled for November 29, will see the ED submitting its reply to the court. Rai’s arrest last month under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act has added another layer of complexity to the case.

Arguments for Rai’s Bail

Advocate Nitesh Rana, representing Hari Om Rai, argued that his client was not needed for further custodial interrogation. Rana emphasized that Rai, as an entrepreneur, had no direct involvement in the alleged money laundering or the related offenses. This claim forms the crux of the argument for Rai’s bail, as his legal team works to dissociate him from the charges leveled by the ED.

Investigation and Implications

The ED’s investigation into this high-profile case reflects the agency’s commitment to uncovering complex financial frauds and tax evasions. The outcome of this case, particularly the allegations against Vivo and the bail application of Hari Om Rai, will likely have significant implications for the business practices of foreign companies in India, especially in the tech and telecom sectors.

The unfolding of this case will be closely monitored, as it represents a crucial juncture in the enforcement of financial laws and regulations in India. The hearing on November 29 is eagerly awaited for further developments in this high-stakes legal battle.
