Delhi HC To Hear Plea Against Inclusion Of CAs Under Money Laundering Law Today:
The Delhi High Court on Monday (August 21) will hear a petition challenging the inclusion of chartered accountants, company secretaries, and cost accountants as "reporting entities" under the anti-money laundering law and the imposition of criminal liability on them in the event of noncompliance with the law.
The petition of Rajat Mohan, a chartered accountant (CA), has been scheduled for hearing before a bench consisting of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula.
According to the petition, by including CAs and other professionals in the definition of "reporting entities" under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), "onerous obligations" have been imposed on them, with noncompliance resulting in criminal prosecution, and it effectively forces such professionals to engage in "policing" their own clients with whom they interact in a fiduciary capacity.
