ISLAMABAD - Singer Adnan Sami has been slapped by his favourite Indian government because he was once a Pakistani citizen.
He has been slapped with a heavy penalty by the Indian government department over the offense committed in India once he was a Pakistani citizen.
Adnan Sami has been very critic of Pakistan and Indian Armed Forces seem to be his love lost.
IN a latest turn of events, Appellate Tribunal for the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) has imposed a penalty of ₹50 lakh on singer Adnan Sami for buying eight flats in Mumbai in 2003 without prior permission from the Reserve Bank of India, when he was a Pakistani national.
However, while the Tribunal has quashed the December 2010 order of the Enforcement Directorate Special Director (Mumbai), for confiscation of the properties. it enhanced the penalty amount from ₹20 lakh to ₹50 lakh.
The penalty amount has to be paid within three months of the order, issued on September 12. Mr. Sami had earlier deposited ₹10 lakh.
The Tribunal's directive came on an appeal by Mr. Sami against the Special Director's order for confiscation of the flats and five parking lots and imposition of ₹20 lakh in penalty.
