The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will shift its focus toward violations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) in 2025, announced the agency's Director Rahul Navin on Thursday.

Navin made the statement during the foundation day address of the federal agency, mentioning specifically "the next area where ED intends to focus this year is on FEMA violations."

Highlighting the agency's evolving priorities, the Director stated that ED has been entrusted with enforcing FEMA to ensure full compliance with regulations issued by the Central Government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These include rules, directives, and circulars intended to regulate cross-border financial transactions.

"To fulfill this mandate, ED will conduct necessary investigations and adjudication, and will impose penalties in cases of defaults," the Director said.
