The Appellate Tribunal found the Appellant Company guilty of contravening u/s 9(1)(a) of FERA 1973 by making payments to a person outside India without RBI permission.

The Tribunal applied the presumption of culpable mental state u/s 59 of FERA 1973, shifting the burden to the Appellants, which they failed to rebut. The Tribunal upheld penalties for contraventions u/s 9(1)(a) and u/s 9(1)(c) against the Appellant Company and individual Appellants. Penalties for contraventions u/s 8(1) were set aside. Total penalties imposed were Rs. 32,00,000 on the Company and Rs. 8,00,000 on each individual Appellant, with adjustments for pre-deposits.
