<h1>SIT recommends making tax evasion a predicate offense under PMLA, aligning with FATF guidelines; threshold over Rs. 50 lakh.</h1> The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has recommended making tax evasion a predicate offense under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, aligning with the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) guidelines. This move would enable legal action against tax crimes as part of anti-money laundering efforts. Over 25 countries have already adopted similar measures. The government is urged to consider this recommendation, with a proposed threshold of over Rs. 50 lakh to avoid impacting salaried or small taxpayers. This was communicated by a government official in response to a parliamentary question.
