Financial Action Task Force (FATF) released its Mutual Evaluation Report on India:
India was found partially compliant in three areas.
- Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs): NPOs registered as charitable organizations and enjoying tax exemptions could be vulnerable to terror funding.
- The system requires better measures to address risks associated with these organisations.
Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs): Ambiguities exist regarding the source of wealth, source of funds, and beneficial - ownership for domestic PEPs. The government needs to address these ambiguities.
- Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs): Gaps exist in the regulation and supervision of DNFBPs, especially regarding money laundering and terror financing.
