Probe is still on and real modus operandi can emerge only after a few days,&#8221; a senior official told ET. Senior officials in the department of revenue are also closely monitoring the investigation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The tax authorities have also found a notable concentration of remittances among entities using foreign addresses. Eighty-three such entities together accounted for Rs 36,175 crore of the transfers, prompting investigators to examine their ownership structures, business operations and the transactions underlying the remittances more closely.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The sharp increase in overseas remittances has also raised concerns about the pace at which funds are leaving the country. <!-- -->In the first half of FY26, Rs 43,048 crore was sent abroad, an amount already equal to 78% of the total remitted during the whole of FY25.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The investigation has once again drawn attention to the use of corporate structures and cross-border transactions to transfer money out of India, particularly at a time when the central bank is actively managing dollar liquidity and seeking to contain volatility in the rupee, an official said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Investigators are now looking into where the funds originated, the nature and purpose of the transactions and the beneficiaries receiving the money overseas. The department said in a press statement issued on Tuesday that action had already been taken against 394 firms.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>However, the investigation remains ongoing. Several other companies and individuals are believed to be under examination, with additional searches and enforcement measures expected as the probe progresses.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/india-business\/overseas-remittance-in-focus-i-t-uncovers-rs-1-29-lakh-crore-trail-money-sent-to-china-uae-more\/articleshow\/133365723.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investigators found that a significant share of the funds was routed to a small group of overseas destinations.
