He was earlier summoned on June 15, but skipped the deposition then citing official work.
The federal agency wants to question and record Parab's statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), officials earlier told PTI.
The ED had raided his premises and those allegedly linked to him in May, after registering a fresh case under the PMLA against him and others.
Parab, 57, is a three-time Shiv Sena legislator in the Maharashtra Legislative Council, the Upper House of the Legislature, and the state transport and parliamentary affairs minister.
