Inter-agency information sharing under PMLA is permitted where the Director or authorised officer forms an opinion that another law has been contravened; the communication may properly be sent to the concerned agency for action. The text rejects the view that such disclosure is confined to PMLA offences or barred by FEMA powers, treating both statutes as cognate fields to be read together.
