Eligibility for the first proviso to section 45 PMLA depends on the amount a person is accused of laundering alone or jointly with co-accused, rather than funds traced solely to that person's account. A joint accusation exceeding the statutory threshold therefore excluded the proviso's benefit. Under section 45's twin bail conditions, reasonable grounds are assessed on broad probabilities, but the prosecution must first show a scheduled offence, property derived from it, and the accused's knowing involvement in laundering. Documentary material did not sufficiently establish proceeds of crime, collusion, or knowledge; with no alleged prior misuse of liberty and manageable influence concerns, the conditions were satisfied and bail was granted subject to conditions.
