THE SCHEDULE

 

Now lets talk about why the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act, 2002 was enacted. 

The PMLA is here to combat money laundering in India and has 3 main objectives: 

  1. To prevent and control money laundering activities. 
  2. To confiscate and seize the property obtained using laundered money; &
  3. To deal with any other issue connected with it in India. 

And the above objectives are achieved by casting the following obligations on all Reporting Entities (duly defined, will discuss in the second part of the Act):

  • verifying and maintaining records of the identity of all clients including beneficial owners
  • maintaining record of all transactions and submit timely reports to prescribed authorities at prescribed intervals
  • furnishing FIU-IND information

This is all you need to begin the PMLA 2023 preparation. Do let me know, if you have any query in regard to topic or study material.
