The Chinese smartphone maker, India’s largest, was reacting to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) freezing Rs 5551.27 crores worth of bank assets of the company, under alleged violation of
Foreign Exchange Management Act<\/a> (FEMA).

\"We have studied the order from government authorities carefully. We believe our royalty payments and statements to the bank are all legit and truthful. These royalty payments that
Xiaomi<\/a> India made were for the in-licensed technologies and IPs used in our Indian version products,\" the company said in the statement.

The ED said its investigation found that Xiaomi India, which acts as a trader and distributor of mobile phones, procures completely manufactured mobile handsets and other products from manufacturers in India, has not availed any service from the three foreign-based entities to whom the payments have been made.

ED also found the company had provided misleading information to the banks while remitting money abroad.
