Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How has the BNS changed white-collar crime defense in 2026?
   The BNS has consolidated various economic offenses and increased the maximum punishment for several crimes, such as Criminal Breach of Trust (now up to 5 years). It also introduces “Organized Crime” (Section 111) which can include economic offenses, making it vital to have a lawyer who understands these expanded definitions.
   
   
2. Can I get bail in a PMLA case in 2026?
   While the “twin conditions” of the PMLA make bail difficult, recent 2026 judicial trends emphasize that “process cannot be punishment.” As an expert white-collar crime lawyer in Noida, we focus on highlighting procedural lapses and the lack of a “scheduled offense” to secure liberty for our clients.
   
   
3. Does a bank settlement (OTS) automatically end criminal fraud proceedings?
   No. The Supreme Court in 2026 has reaffirmed that while a One-Time Settlement (OTS) resolves the civil debt, the criminal liability for fraud against the public exchequer remains. You need a strategic defense to ensure that your settlement is leveraged effectively in the criminal trial.
   
   
4. What should a company do during an SFIO or ED dawn raid?
   Immediate legal intervention is critical. Our firm provides emergency response to ensure that privileged communications are not seized and that the rights of directors and employees are protected during the recording of statements.

5. Why should I choose Law Intellect India over a general criminal lawyer?
White-collar crimes are “paper-heavy” and involve intricate financial trails. Unlike general criminal practitioners, our team includes experts in Contract Law and IPR, enabling us to dissect complex financial documents that are the foundation of any economic offense prosecution.
