FEMA adjudication principles discussed include that procedural delay does not invalidate proceedings without demonstrated prejudice, particularly in complex cross-border investigations where reasons for delay are recorded. Transfers of bank shares to non-residents require Reserve Bank permission in the approved entities' names; an initially unauthorised holding cannot support later transfers under general permission, and civil penalties do not require mens rea.
