Enforcement Directorate (ED)
The Enforcement Directorate, established on May 1, 1956, is an economic intelligence organization that investigates economic crimes and foreign exchange law violations. It operates under the Revenue Department of the Ministry of Finance and is responsible for the enforcement of economic laws. The ED is known for its high conviction rate of 65 to 70% and is considered one of the world’s top investigation agencies.
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is the primary investigation agency of the Indian government, established under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946. Its main role is to prevent corruption and maintain integrity in the administration. The CBI is also responsible for investigating violations of economic and financial laws, such as customs and central excise duties, export and import controls, income tax, foreign exchange regulations, and more.
Comparison
In comparison, the Enforcement Directorate focuses on enforcing economic laws, with a specific focus on combating money laundering and investigating foreign exchange violations. On the other hand, the Central Bureau of Investigation primarily deals with preventing corruption and maintaining integrity in the administration, while also investigating violations of economic and financial laws. Both agencies play crucial roles in upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability in India.
ईडी और सीबीआई के बीच एक तुलनात्मक सार है। ईडी एक इकोनॉमिक इंटेलिजेंस ऑर्गेनाइजेशन है जो आर्थिक अपराधों और विदेशी एक्सचेंज लॉ वायलेशन की जांच करती है, जबकि सीबीआई भ्रष्टाचार को रोकने के लिए काम करती है। दोनों एजेंसियाँ भारत के लिए महत्वपूर्ण हैं और उनके कार्यक्षेत्र में विशेषज्ञता है।
