PMLA's concept of proceeds of crime requires that property be derived directly or indirectly from a scheduled offence and thus be traceable to that offence; consequently a scheduled offence and related proceeds are prerequisite for prosecution for money laundering, although a person not party to the scheduled offence may still commit the substantive money laundering offence by assisting concealment or use of proceeds.
