Reading had already been docked six points in
April after they admitted to their failure to comply with budget
restrictions.
The points deduction eventually resulted in their relegation
from the second-tier Championship when they finished 22nd, six
points from safety.
"The charges relate to the club failing to meet their
obligations to pay its players' wages on time and in full on or
around 31 October 2022, 30 November 2022 and 28 April 2023," the
EFL said in a statement.
"Yongge Dai, the club's owner, has also been charged with
causing the club to be in breach of EFL Regulations despite his
commitment to fund the cash requirements of the club."
The EFL said Reading and Dai have until June 29 to respond to
the charges.
