Sources say that the 32-year-old actor was
summoned earlier as well but she could not depose.   

The probe is being carried out under the
civil proceedings of FEMA.

According to Hindustan Times, senior ED
officials said that the actress received over Rs1 crore from an overseas entity
few years ago, but she allegedly did not disclose it and did not comply with the
mandatory FEMA rules.  

FEMA or the Foreign Exchange Management Act
of 1999 is an Act of the Parliament of India “to consolidate and amend the law
relating to foreign exchange with the objective of facilitating external trade
and payments and for promoting the orderly development and maintenance of
foreign exchange market in India”.

Yami was in the news recently when she got
married to Uri director Aditya Dhar. The duo worked together for the
2019 film and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony last month.
