He will take the stage at EEMAX global awards ceremony 2015 at Taj Lands End, Mumbai. The awards ceremony will be held after a conclave on September 19.

“My performance at the awards ceremony will be my very first live act in India after many years. I will be performing in an absolutely new style and I'm eagerly looking forward to the audiences’ reaction on the awards night,” Rahat said in a statement.

The Main Jahaan Rahun and O Re Piya singer was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in New Delhi in a case of alleged forex violation for a second time last month.

In 2011, he was arrested by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence following a day's detention at the airport in Delhi for carrying undisclosed foreign currency totalling more than $100,000.
