ED introduces QR code system to combat fake summons, digital arrest scams

NEW DELHI: In a bid to protect citizens from rising cyber frauds, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has rolled out a new verification mechanism for its summons, featuring QR codes and unique passcodes.

This initiative aims to curb the activities of "unscrupulous" individuals impersonating ED officials to extort money or cheat unsuspecting people.

The announcement comes amid a surge in scams involving fake summons under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, and the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999.
