Full case in 5 questions and answers:
Question 1: Why has ED action against Anil Ambani’s group?
answer: The case is related to a loan of about Rs 3,000 crore given by Yes Bank to Reliance Group companies associated with Anil Ambani between 2017 and 2019.
Initial investigations of the ED have revealed that these loans were allegedly diverted to fake companies and other units of the group. The investigation also revealed that the big officials of Yes Bank have probably been given bribe.
Question 2: What else came out in the ED investigation?
answer: The ED says that this was a “thoughtful and well-planned” plan, under which the money was grabbed by giving false information to banks, shareholders, investors and other public institutions. Many disturbances were caught in the investigation, such as:
- Loans to companies with weak or unnecessary verification.
- Many companies use the same director and address.
- The absence of necessary documents related to loan.
- Transfer money to fake companies.
- The process of giving new loans to repay the old loan (loan earrings).
Question 3: What is the role of CBI in this case?
answer: The CBI had registered an FIR in two cases. These cases are related to two different loans given by Yes Bank to Reliance Home Finance Limited and Reliance Commercial Finance Limited. In both cases, CBI took the name of former CEO Rana Kapoor of Yes Bank.
After this, an official said that other agencies and institutions like National Housing Bank, SEBI, National Financial Reporting Authority and Bank of Baroda also shared information with ED. Now ED is investigating this case.
Question 4: What was the impact on Anil Ambani’s companies?
answer: After the news of the raid, the shares of two major companies of Anil Ambani, Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power declined by 5%. It has a decline of 3% after summons.

Reliance Power is a separate and independent listed company that has no commercial or financial relations with RCom or RHFL.
Question 5: What else are there on Anil Ambani companies?
