This renewal, prompted by complaints regarding foreign investments received by Byju’s, marks a continuation of an investigation initiated over a year ago.
The agency alleges that Think and Learn Pvt Ltd, the company behind Byju’s, failed to comply with FEMA provisions, causing potential losses to the exchequer totaling approximately ₹9,362 crore.
Byju’s, which experienced significant growth during the Covid-19 pandemic, faces scrutiny over its foreign investment activities, including remittances to overseas entities.
