The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is a central agency working directly under the Ministry of Finance, tasked with investigating and enforcing laws related to financial offenses. Its origin goes back to 1 May, 1956, when an Enforcement Unit was formed in the Department of Economic Affairs for handling Exchange Control Laws violations under Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947. The following year, this Unit was renamed as Enforcement Directorate.
The ED’s mandate encompasses investigating offenses under significant legislative frameworks such as the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the Foreign Exchange Management Act of 1999 (FEMA), and the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act of 2018 (FEOA). The agency investigates individuals and entities involved in financial wrongdoing. This may include tracing illicit funds, seizing assets acquired through illegal means, and prosecuting offenders to ensure accountability and deterrence.
Headquartered in New Delhi, the ED operates through a network of regional offices in Mumbai, Chennai, Chandigarh, Kolkata.
It doesn’t look good to tell lies by a Prime Minister
Modi wooing Tamil Nadu more than other non Hindi speaking states looks unnatural. Knowing him there must be some designs which general public is not privy to.
😅yes sir. It is same like all state police are independent.most opposition is targeted ( irrespective of who is in power). How many cases were registered against current govt serving MP and MLA vs opposition. What percentage will tell us how independent that agency is.
Secondly who many cases were withdrawn against any MP and MLA post there switch that data should also be brought to public.
Automatically public can judge who is independent and who is not??
