Anil Ambani gets fresh summons to Anil Ambani from ED for February 26

The Enforcement Directorate has issued fresh summons to Reliance Group chairperson Anil Ambani for recording his statement on February 26, agency sources said on Thursday (February 19, 2026)

The agency had earlier summoned his wife, Tina Ambani, twice. However, she is yet to join the investigation.

In January, the ED had provisionally attached properties worth ₹1,885 crore linked to Reliance Anil Ambani Group, including bank balance, receivables, shareholding in “unqouted investments” and immovable assets, taking the total attachment to about ₹12,000 crore in the alleged bank fraud cases related to Reliance Communications Limited (RCom), Reliance Commercial Finance Limited, and Reliance Home Finance Limited.

The latest attachments pertained to the cases allegedly related to Reliance Home Finance Limited, Reliance Commercial Finance Limited, Yes Bank, and RCom.

The ED has alleged fraudulent diversion of funds by various Reliance Anil Ambani group companies, including RCom, Reliance Home Finance Limited (RHFL), Reliance Commercial Finance Limited (RCFL), Reliance Infrastructure, and Reliance Power Limited.

According to the agency, during 2017-19, Yes Bank had invested ₹2,965 crore in RHFL instruments and ₹2,045 crore in RCFL instruments. “By December 2019, these became non-performing investments. The outstanding was ₹1,353.50 crore for RHFL and ₹1,984 Crore for RCFL…RHFL and RCFL received public funds of more than ₹11,000 crore. Before Yes Bank invested this money in Reliance Anil Ambani group companies, it had received huge funds from erstwhile Reliance Nippon Mutual Fund,” it has alleged.

Under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations, Reliance Nippon Mutual Fund could not invest or divert funds directly in the Anil Ambani group finance companies due to conflict-of-interest rules. “Therefore, public money in mutual fund schemes was routed indirectly by them. The path ran through Yes Bank’s exposures. The public funds reached Anil Ambani group companies through a circuitous route,” the ED said.

The ED has also alleged that RCom and its group companies took loans from domestic and foreign lenders from 2010-12 onwards, of which about ₹40,185 crore was outstanding.

Nine banks have designated the Group’s loan accounts as fraud, flagging several alleged irregularities. They include the diversion of over ₹13,600 crore by RCom and its group companies for “ever-greening” of loans, and over ₹12,600 crore to related parties.
