ED Summons Anil Ambani for Nov. 14 as SFIO Opens New Probe Into Reliance Group

Authorities are intensifying parallel investigations after assets valued at about Rs 7,500 crore were provisionally attached in an alleged diversion of bank loans.

Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate called Anil Ambani to depose on November 14 in its money‑laundering case linked to State Bank of India’s complaint and a CBI FIR naming RCom and Ambani.
  • ED says group entities borrowed over Rs 40,000 crore from 2010–2012 and alleges at least Rs 13,600 crore was diverted through evergreening, related‑party transfers and misuse of bill discounting, with some funds sent overseas.
  • Recent provisional attachments total roughly Rs 7,545 crore, including 132 acres at Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City in Navi Mumbai, a Pali Hill residence in Mumbai and the Reliance Centre property in New Delhi.
  • The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has referred a fresh case to the Serious Fraud Investigation Office to map money flows and examine possible Companies Act violations at Reliance Infrastructure, Reliance Communications, Reliance Commercial Finance and CLE Pvt Ltd.
  • Reliance Group has denied wrongdoing; Reliance Infrastructure says operations are unaffected and notes Ambani has not served on its board for more than three years.
