NO&T Asia Legal Review
Background
India’s primary anti-corruption legislation, the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (“PCA”) has been significantly amended by the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018 (the “Amendment Act”). The Amendment Act has been brought into force with effect from 26 July 2018.
The Amendment Act attempts to bring India’s anti-corruption law in compliance with the United Nations Convention against Corruption 2005, which was ratified by India in 2011. For the first time, provisions relating to prosecution of a bribe giver and corporate liability whereby commercial organizations and officials can be held accountable for bribery related offences, have been introduced.
