Prevention of Money Laundering Act
The Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) is a cornerstone in India’s fight against financial crimes and terrorism financing. It imposes strict obligations on banks, financial institutions, and intermediaries to maintain records, verify customer identities, and report suspicious transactions. Violations can result in serious penalties, confiscation of property, and criminal prosecution.
