Description
This Act as promulgated in 1988 makes the anti-corruption laws more effective by widening their coverage and by strengthening the provisions. The Act incorporates all amendments to the previous Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, as amended in 1964 based on the recommendations of the Santhanam Committee. Provisions in the Indian Penal Code to deal with public servants and in the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, 1944, to enable attachment of ill-gotten wealth obtained through corrupt means have been included in this Act. The definition of the expression 'public servant' has also been widened. Provisions of Sections 161 to 165-A in the Indian Penal Code have been incorporated in this Act with enhanced punishments.
