The government has presented in the Lok Sabha the complete record of major actions of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax Department from the year 2014-15 to 2025. It has been told in this report that both the agencies have registered thousands of cases in the last 11 years, conducted large-scale raids and in many cases have also filed charge sheets in the court. This information has been given in response to a question asked in the Lok Sabha.
So many cases were registered in the last 10 years
According to the report, ED has registered a total of 6444 cases i.e. ECIRs from 2014-15 to November 2025. These included big cases of money laundering. There were some years when the number of cases increased manifold. For example, 1116 cases were registered in 2021-22 and 996 cases were registered in 2020-21.
The Income Tax Department has filed 13877 charge sheets in the court during the same period. The special thing is that in years like 2017-18 and 2018-19, Income Tax registered a record number of cases. During this period approximately 4527 and 3512 cases have been registered.
This number of raids took place across the country
It has been told in the report that both ED and Income Tax together conducted more than 20000 raids and seizures across the country. ED conducted 11106 raids from 2014-15 to November 2025, while Income Tax searched 9657 groups. 2023-24 was the most active year of ED, when the agency conducted 2600 raids.
The conviction rate was this much
The most interesting information is that the conviction rate in ED cases has been 94.64%. That is, in most of the cases decided in the PMLA special court, the guilty were proved. Between April 01, 2014 and November 30, 2025, the PMLA court gave verdict in 56 cases, out of which 121 people were convicted in 53 cases.
Punishment given in so many cases
The number of convictions and acquittals in Income Tax Department cases varied considerably in different years. Between 2014 and 2025, there were convictions in 522 income tax cases, while in 963 cases the accused were acquitted and 3345 cases were withdrawn.
So many people and organizations were accused
Income Tax filed a total of 2416 charge sheets during this period and 16404 people or institutions were made accused in these cases. This shows that the department has been continuously taking major action in tax related matters. The government has also clarified that both ED and Income Tax do not maintain state data, hence state wise figures have not been made available.
