Prevention of Money Laundering Act

India’s judicial system is one of the oldest and most respected in the world, but individuals and businesses often face challenges when dealing with financial crimes and regulatory enforcement actions. One of the most significant legislations in this area is the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA), which aims to prevent and control money laundering, confiscate property derived from unlawful activities, and impose strict compliance requirements on financial institutions and individuals.

Proceedings under PMLA can arise in cases where transactions are suspected to be linked with proceeds of crime. This may include attachment of properties, freezing of bank accounts, summons by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and prosecution before designated special courts. The law prescribes stringent provisions, including reversal of the burden of proof, making timely and effective legal representation crucial.
