Separately, on the distinct issue of alleged contravention of Section 3(c) of FEMA, the appellant failed to establish lawful source of funds; the ex-post-facto approval did not relieve compliance with other FEMA conditions, therefore the penalty for the Section 3(c) breach is sustained against that appellant.
