Overview
Large-value frauds — fake investment schemes, forged documents, siphoned company funds, vendor frauds — need a different toolkit: forensic documentation, complaints to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), and parallel action under the Companies Act (Section 447 fraud) or SEBI/RBI frameworks where regulated entities are involved. We build the paper case investigators can act on, and pursue asset attachment so recovery survives the prosecution.
Key Provisions — BNS + Companies Act, 2023 / 2013
- BNS Section 318 (cheating) and 316 (criminal breach of trust) anchor most corporate fraud prosecutions.
- BNS Section 336 — forgery of documents and electronic records (old IPC 465/468).
- Companies Act Section 447 — fraud by companies/officers: up to 10 years and fine up to 3× the amount.
- EOW handles high-value economic offences; deposit frauds may also invoke the BUDS Act for asset attachment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many of us were defrauded by the same scheme — can we act together?
Yes — joint complaints carry more investigative weight, and deposit-scheme laws enable collective restitution from attached assets.
The fraudster is a company — who is prosecuted?
The company and its officers in default — directors and managers who ran the fraud face personal prosecution under Section 447 and the BNS.
