Investigations by Serious Fraud Investigation Office
Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), functioning under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, has handled 61 cases for investigation during 2004-05 to 2008-09. Giving this information in reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, the Minsiter for Corporate Affairs, Shri Salman Khurshid told the House that SFIO has filed prosecutions in the matter of 32 companies against 632 accused (which includes individuals as well as companies) during the last five financial years. He said that as the SFIO is an investigating agency and not a revenue earning organization, hence the benefits on account of an investigating agency cannot be quantified in terms of revenue.
