White-Collar Crimes (An Indian Perspective)

............................................................................................
Description
White Collar Crimes, the term itself once unheard of and unknown to Indian society, has become a bitter truth today. Such crimes are not like traditional crimes but are crimes which are not easily detectable. During the last decade only, such crimes have grown exponentially as India saw financial frauds to the tune of several hundred billion rupees, which hit the Indian economy severely. Such crimes also raised questions over the security of financial world, banking sectors, tax and other public sector activities, being marred by corruption and fraud, besides causing other challenges faced due to increased use of technology. Further, the crimes also eroded the state's resources for public welfare activities and infrastructure development. The primary attempt behind this book is to spread a general awareness among the legal fraternity as well as public at large about various types of white-collar crimes which have plagued the country. The book majorly focuses on different laws enacted by the legislature in India, along with relevant rules and regulations to check white-collar crimes, namely, corruption, banking and tax frauds, money laundering, black money, adulteration of food supplies, corporate frauds, and so on.
