It was renamed as &#8220;Enforcement Directorate&#8221; in 1957.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It originally handled Exchange Control Laws violations under the <strong>Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947 (FERA 1947)<\/strong>. Under this act, the ED had the power to arrest for FERA violations, but the scope of powers was limited as the ED\u2019s domain was largely limited to the corporate world.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The administrative control of the ED was transferred from the Department of Economic Affairs to the Department of Revenue in 1960.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The nature of ED changed as India changed. In the <strong>pre-liberalisation era<\/strong>, the laws driving ED were &#8220;<strong>regulation<\/strong>&#8221; laws whereas <strong>post-liberalisation<\/strong>, those became &#8220;<strong>management<\/strong>&#8221; laws. For example, FERA 1973 (which replaced FERA 1947) became the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Under FEMA, 1999, ED lost its power to arrest people or take them into custody as forex violations amounted to civil offenses, compoundable after payment of a fine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ED\u2019s <strong>powers increased significantly after the enactment of PMLA, 2002<\/strong> because the act re-empowered ED with the powers of criminal prosecution. The 2009 and 2013 amendments widened the scope of PMLA and provided further powers to the ED.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Recent expansion of powers:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In 2022, the Centre has amended a <strong>2006 notification<\/strong> to list 16 entities which will have to mandatorily share information with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under <strong>Section 66<\/strong> of the PMLA. Among these are the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Competition Commission of India (CCI), the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), and State Police Divisions. This has further widened ED\u2019s powers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Again, in 2022, the <strong>Supreme Court upheld the amendments<\/strong> made to the PMLA through Finance Acts. It gives the ED virtually unchecked powers of summons, arrest, and raids, and makes bail nearly impossible while shifting the burden of proof of innocence on to the accused rather than the prosecution.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"blue-h2-box\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\"><b><a id=\"h3\"><\/a>How ED is different from other policing agencies?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; background-color: #eaf0b4;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 11.5319%;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 42.7498%; text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"\">Enforcement Directorate (ED)<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 45.7182%; text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"\">Traditional Police Agencies<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 11.5319%;\"><strong><span class=\"\">Primary Mandate<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 42.7498%;\"><span class=\"\">Enforces economic laws, specifically the\u00a0<strong>Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA)<\/strong>, 2002 and the\u00a0<strong>Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA)<\/strong>, 1999.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 45.7182%;\"><span class=\"\">Enforces the general criminal law of the land, primarily the\u00a0<strong>Indian Penal Code (IPC)<\/strong> and other special acts (e.g. corruption, specific crimes).<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 11.5319%;\"><strong><span class=\"\">Administrative Control<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 42.7498%;\"><span class=\"\">Part of the\u00a0<strong>Department of Revenue<\/strong>, Ministry of Finance, Government of India.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 45.7182%;\"><span class=\"\">State Police are under respective\u00a0<strong>State Governments<\/strong>; the CBI is under the\u00a0<strong>Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT)<\/strong> in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 11.5319%;\"><strong><span class=\"\">Nature of Action<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 42.7498%;\"><span class=\"\">A &#8220;sui generis&#8221; (unique) process focusing on an\u00a0<strong>inquiry into the &#8216;proceeds of crime&#8217;<\/strong>.
