"The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) is also investigating certain entities belonging to the Adani Group under laws administered by it," Pankaj Chaudhary, minister of state for finance, said in a written reply to questions raised by Lok Sabha member Mahua Moitra, of the TMC party.
The finance ministry said that there was no ongoing investigation by the Enforcement Directorate and that as far as the investigation under Income Tax Act was concerned, disclosure of information regarding a specific taxpayer was prohibited, except under a specific section of law.
The Adani Group, however, clarified that it has not received any communication or information requests recently from Sebi recently and the DRI show-cause notice was issued five years back.
