Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, Dec 14 � Retail giant Walmart has said it will provide �relevant information� to the Indian authorities for the judicial probe announced due to pressure from Opposition parties on the issue of the company�s lobbying efforts in the US regarding India�s multi-brand retail sector, reports PTI.

�We will be working to provide the authorities with relevant information,� a Walmart spokesperson told PTI when asked if the US-based company would co-operate with the Indian government in its judicial probe. The spokesperson, however, insisted that the routine lobbying disclosure before the US Congress, as mandated by law, does not reflect any improper conduct in India.

�The allegation that a routine US lobbying disclosure form reflects improper conduct in India is false.
