      Question

      Under the PMLA, the Enforcement Directorate's case is

      initiated based on the commission of which type of offence?
      A Any civil wrong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B A traffic violation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C A scheduled (predicate) offence generating proceeds of crime Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D A contractual breach Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E A regulatory lapse only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the offence of money laundering is predicated on the commission of a scheduled offence that generates proceeds of crime. The Enforcement Directorate registers a case, typically an Enforcement Case Information Report, based on the existence of a scheduled offence and proceeds of crime. The link to a predicate offence is essential, as money laundering involves dealing with the proceeds of such an offence. Without a scheduled offence, the PMLA generally does not apply.
