NEW DELHI: After a nearly two-month break, India has started offering electronic visa services to Canadian citizens again, according to sources on Wednesday. Following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's claims of the "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the June 18 killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia, tensions between India and Canada erupted in September. In 2020, India classified Nijjar as a terrorist. Trudeau's accusations were dismissed by India as "absurd" and "motivated". A few days later, Ottawa was asked to reduce its diplomatic presence in India by New Delhi, which declared it was temporarily stopping the issuance of visas to Canadian citizens. Additionally, India had requested that Canada take strong action against terrorists and anti-Indian groups that are based there.

NEW DELHI, Nov 22: The Shah Rukh Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders, an IPL team that won its two titles under Gautam Gambhir's capable leadership in 2012 and 2014, named Gambhir their "Mentor" on Wednesday. After leading KKR from 2011 to 2017, Gambhir parted ways and has been leading Lucknow Super Giants as their "Mentor" for the past two seasons. Gambhir is the hero of India's T20 and 50 over World Cup victories. Despite making it to the play-offs in both seasons, Lucknow was unable to advance, which is why the team hired Justin Langer, a former Australian opener and T20 World Cup winner, as coach. After Langer was signed by the Sanjiv Goenka-owned team, Gambhir's departure was inevitable.Even though Gambhir and LSG both adamantly denied the move for the longest time, there was a lot of buzz about it following a lengthy meeting in the Mumbai home of the Bollywood star, and it eventually became true. The CEO of KKR, Venky Mysore, has announced that Gambhir will work with head coach Chandrakant Pandit.Few things affect me emotionally because I am not an emotional person. However, this isn't like that. Here we are at the beginning of it all again. In a press release from the team, Gambhir was cited as saying, "As I consider putting on that purple and gold jersey once more, there is a lump in my throat and fire in my heart." "I am returning not just to KKR but also to the 'City of Joy.'" Now I'm back. I'm craving food. Number 23 is me. "Ami KKR," declared Shah Rukh Khan, the former principal of the India KKR, "this is our 'Captain' returning home in a different avatar as a 'Mentor.' Gautam has always been a part of the family.""He was greatly missed, and we are all looking forward to Chandu Sir and Gautam bringing the magic of Team KKR and instilling the never-say-die spirit and sportsmanship they stand for." anticipated receiving total authority As an elected member of parliament, Gambhir has a tendency to prefer having his own team, having complete control over the proceedings, and being willing to take the fallout. It will be interesting to observe the scope and domain for former Mumbai all-rounder Abhishek Nayar, who had a significant influence in strategic matters pertaining to team selection and combination, with Gambhir's return to his "spiritual home."As the principal owner stated in his statement, Gambhir has always been the "Captain" of the ship, and KKR supporters would hope for a turnaround following a few uneven seasons.

NEW DELHI: The edtech giant BYJU and its CEO and co-founder, Raveendran Bjyu, were the targets of a show-cause notice for foreign exchange violations worth over Rs 9,300 crore, according to the Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday. The company and its chief promoter were charged on several counts by the federal probe agency. These counts included "failing" to submit import documents against advance remittances made outside of India and failing to realise export proceeds by delaying filing documents against foreign direct investment (FDI) received by the company. The statement stated that a show-cause notice regarding the violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) to the tune of Rs 9,362.35 crore has been sent to Raveendran and the registered company of BYJU's, Think & Learn Private Limited. The ED may fine FEMA violators up to three times the amount specified in the show cause notice following the final adjudication. The agency claimed that after conducting searches at three locations in April, including Raveendran's home in Bengaluru, it recorded statements made by the chief financial officer of BYJU and Raveendran. It said the action was taken in response to complaints about Think & Learn Private Limited's "business conduct" and the foreign investment it had received. According to the ED, the company was accused of making large foreign investments and remittances outside of India in violation of the terms of the FEMA, 1999, resulting in revenue losses for the Indian government.The ED stated that after conducting the investigation, it was discovered that Think & Learn Private Limited and Raveendran had "contravened" the FEMA provisions by neglecting to file import documents against advance remittances made outside of India, failing to realise export proceeds made outside of India, delaying the filing of documents against Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) received by the company, failing to file documents against FDI received by the company, and failing to allot shares against FDI received by the company. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) declared following the searches in April that "the company (Think & Learn Pvt. Ltd.) has not prepared its financial statements since 2020-21 fiscal and has not got the accounts, audited which is mandatory." According to the searches, the company received approximately Rs 28,000 crore in foreign direct investment (FDI) between 2011 and 2023. "The company also remitted about Rs 9,754 crore to various foreign jurisdictions during the same period in the name of overseas direct investment," according to the agency. The ED claimed that the company recorded marketing and advertising costs totaling approximately Rs 944 crore, including money sent to overseas jurisdictions. In addition to offering early learning, middle school education, and test preparation, the Bengaluru-based company was co-founded by Raveendran Bjyu and his spouse, Divya Gokulnath. The company announced earlier this month that its operational losses in its core business for the fiscal year 2021–2022 had shrunk to Rs 2,253 crore.
