Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and who enforces it?
The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 criminalises the laundering of proceeds of crime connected to scheduled offences and is enforced by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The ED can record statements under Section 50, provisionally attach property under Section 5, search and seize, and prosecute before Special Courts, with bail subject to the stringent twin conditions under Section 45.
What should I do if I receive an ED or CBI summons in India?
You should comply with the summons but seek legal advice before appearing, as statements made to the ED under Section 50 PMLA are admissible in evidence. A lawyer can help prepare responses, organise documents, and protect your rights against self-incrimination. Judicium Arbitration provides 24/7 support for individuals and companies facing ED, CBI, and SFIO action in Delhi NCR.
Is anticipatory bail available in economic offence cases?
Anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC (now Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita) can be sought in many economic offence cases, but for PMLA matters courts apply the stringent twin conditions of Section 45, requiring the court to be satisfied that the accused is not guilty and unlikely to reoffend. Courts weigh the gravity of the offence, flight risk, and the need for custodial interrogation.
What is a Fugitive Economic Offender under Indian law?
Under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018, a person against whom a warrant has been issued for a scheduled economic offence involving at least ₹100 crores, and who has left India or refuses to return to avoid prosecution, can be declared a fugitive economic offender. Such a declaration allows confiscation of the offender's property, including assets unconnected to the offence.
