The Directorate for enforcement (ED) implemented the Generation Generation Mechanism through a system that includes a QR code and a unique access code to ensure that ruthless elements are unable to extract money from people using false summons.
“During the investigation, the summons are issued by the Directorate for enforcement pursuant to Section 50 (2) of the Prevention of the Money Laundry Act (PMLA) and Section 37 of the Act of 1999 (FEMA).
“These fake summons are often similar to the actual expected ED, and therefore it is difficult for individuals to distinguish between false and real summons. To allow individuals to verify the authenticity of the summons he followed,” he said, “Ed,” he said.
Officials were instructed to give all the summons through the system, except for certain exceptional circumstances. The summons generated from the system will be properly signed and stamped by the issuing authority and will include the official e -mail ID of the officer and the phone number for the purpose of correspondence.
Verification of the authenticity of the summons generated by the system can be carried out 24 hours after the date of release (except for public holidays, Saturdays and Sundays). The summons that could not be created via the system can be verified by contacting the specified contact point via the phone or e-mail: 011-23339172 and adinv2-ed@gov.in, the agency said.
“Furthermore, it should be noted that fraudsters cheat the common public in the name of a digital arrest by showing false commands for arrest issued by law enforcement authorities, including ED, and impersonates Ed officers again that ED arrest is carried out after procedures.
