Financial Offenders will be 'Specially Recognised'; Decision to prepare database of accused persons across the country
SHARES

Since there has been a tremendous increase in financial crime in the past few years, the central government has decided to create a database of individuals or companies involved in such crimes to prevent this. On the lines of 'National Crime Record Department', this database called 'National Financial Crime Record' is going to be prepared by the Central Financial Intelligence Department. In it, criminals will be given a special identification number and this information will also be linked with their Aadhaar, PAN numbers.


The Central Financial Intelligence Unit, which comes under the Union Finance Ministry, has so far collected details of two and a half lakh financial criminals and companies. Based on these details, a database called 'National Financial Offenses Record' (NEWOR) will be prepared. For this, the process has been started through the National Informatics Centre. This directory is likely to be ready in the next four to five months. Therefore, the financial crimes registered in the central system of the country as well as in the investigation systems of the state will be recorded separately.

Central Crime Investigation Department, Directorate General of Enforcement, Customs Department, Income Tax Department, Directorate General of Revenue Intelligence, Goods and Services Tax – Intelligence, Serious Economic Crime Investigation Department and State Economic Crime Department will be connected to this database automatically. As soon as the Aadhaar number of the financial offender or the PAN number of the company is filed, the complete information about the financial crimes will be available immediately.


Access to the database from anywhere

The Central Economic Intelligence Department has prepared a dossier of eight and a half thousand criminals who are incarcerated for committing serious financial crimes from 56,900 crimes filed with various investigation agencies in the country as well as in the state. Sources related to these developments claimed that this information will now be easily available due to the National Economic Crime Register.


The Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System (CCTNS) has connected police stations across the country. When a case is registered anywhere in the country, the Preliminary Finding Report (FIR) is now available to all investigating agencies. Now financial crimes will be recorded separately and a database of financial criminals will be created.
