Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I receive an ED summons under PMLA?
Do not ignore it. Engage counsel immediately, preserve all relevant financial records, and prepare a documented account of the transactions in question before appearing. Statements recorded under Section 50 PMLA carry evidentiary weight.
Can attached property be released during PMLA proceedings?
Yes. Provisional attachment orders can be contested before the Adjudicating Authority and the Appellate Tribunal, and in appropriate cases through writ remedies before the High Court.
Do I need a lawyer present during an ED raid or search?
You have the right to consult counsel. While lawyers may not always be permitted inside the search, immediate legal advice on what to sign, what to state and how seizure memos are recorded can decisively affect the case that follows.
