White-collar crimes cost India billions every year. Effective prevention and clamp down on these crimes are crucial to the country’s economic health. Being a relatively new and dynamic field, it constantly throws up ambiguity in procedural and evidentiary issues, such as the powers of investigation agencies, grant of bail to the accused, the burden of proof applied during the trial and the liability of offences by a corporate and its officials.

White-Collar Crimes in India seeks to decode these crimes in India by covering a broad range of topics from several perspectives. It attempts to throw light on many contentious and complex issues in the regulatory and enforcement sphere from the perspective of both an individual as well as an organization.

This book delves into significant policy issues concentrating on the legal rights and duties of corporate India and its officials, the potential complexities that businesses could face on account of white-collar statutes, and the cost of doing business in India in the days and years to come. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the recent and ongoing shifts in white-collar crime jurisprudence in India and its impact on Indian businesses.
