Reportedly, she knew about the scam, and instead of reporting it, she invested money in it. When this information came to light, it turned into a major controversy, and her husband, P. Chidambaram, had to resign from his post of Minister of State for Commerce.

• In 2005, she was appointed as a senior legal counsel to the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). Several political leaders raised objections on her appointment in the parliament as it fell directly under P. Chidambaram's ministry. The opposition demanded her resignation from the post.

• On 21 September 2014, her name appeared in the "Sharda Chit Fund Scam" for a payment of 1.40 Crores INR as legal fees to her by the Sharda Group. The CBI stated that it was examining the transaction. Although, Nalini stated that it was just her legal fees.
