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.
