- Failure to complete exports against long-term advance payments
- Absence of RBI approval for adjusting (set-off) those advances
Despite the technical breach, Suzlon emphasized that the transaction was bona fide and had been timely reported to the RBI, indicating no intent to circumvent regulatory requirements.
