Director's Message

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), established in 1956, is the premier financial investigation agency of the Government of India entrusted with enforcing laws relating to foreign exchange management and anti–money laundering. Over the decades, the Directorate has steadily evolved in line with India’s economic, legal and regulatory environment—transitioning from the administration of FERA to FEMA, and today leading the enforcement of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act (FEOA).
