Vivo Phones: Government again strict on Chinese company Vivo, stopped export of 27 thousand smartphones, accused of giving wrong information .

Amidst the ongoing border dispute between India and China, the Government of India has banned the export of Chinese smartphone company Vivo. The government has stopped the export of about 27,000 smartphones of Vivo for more than a week. India’s Revenue Intelligence Unit, a branch of the Ministry of Finance, has banned Vivo for giving false information about device models and their value. Let us tell you that there is a possibility of discouraging the exports of other Chinese smartphone companies in India due to the interruption of Vivo’s shipment.

Actually, Chinese company Vivo is accused of giving wrong information about its device models and their price. It is being told that the cost of these devices is $15 million i.e. around Rs 123 crore. Smartphones made by Vivo Communications Technology Co have been barred at the New Delhi airport by India’s Revenue Intelligence Unit, an arm of the finance ministry. However, till now there has been no response from the Finance Ministry and Vivo India.

According to Bloomberg’s report, this action of the government agency has been called unilateral and absurd by the industry lobby group. The group says that such unfair action will discourage electronics manufacturing and imports in India. Let us inform that in the year 2020, after the confrontation between the armies of India and China in the Himalayan borders, political differences have increased considerably. From the year 2020 itself, there was a demand to ban Chinese apps in India and in the same year more than 300 apps were banned. However, the process of banning the Chinese app is still going on.

Vivo has an old association with controversies

Chinese companies Vivo were earlier accused of tax evasion. In July this year, the ED (Enforcement Directorate) raided 44 locations of the company simultaneously, taking the biggest action on Vivo. This action was taken in Vivo’s offices across the country. This action was taken under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, in which the ED had accused the company of tax evasion. However, action was first taken on Vivo in the year 2017, in which the company’s Jaipur regional office was seized.
