    • SFIO or Serious Fraud Investigation Office investigates cases of corporate fraud and white-collar crimes. It is a multidisciplinary organization that investigates financial frauds, money laundering, and other economic offenses.

      Under the Companies Act, 2013, the Central Government may order an SFIO investigation into the affairs of a company if it receives a report from the Registrar or Inspector or any other officer of the Central or State Government, or from a person aggrieved or from a trade union or shareholders of the company. The Central Government may also order an investigation if it is of the opinion that the circumstances justify an investigation.

      The SFIO can also be ordered to investigate a company by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) or the court, in case of a winding-up petition, or if it is satisfied that there are sufficient reasons to investigate the company.

      Therefore, the SFIO investigates into the affairs of a company if there is a suspicion of corporate fraud or white-collar crimes, or if it receives a report from the Registrar or Inspector or any other officer of the Central or State Government, or from a person aggrieved or from a trade union or shareholders of the company.
