ABSTRACT
The conception of white-collar crime lacks a precise and universally accepted definition, necessitating criminologists to conduct individual analyses and interpretations. The Indian Penal Code of 1860 forms the legal framework for addressing such crimes, which encompasses a wide range of offenses within administrative and professional domains. This type of crime includes occupational, organizational, and various fraudulent activities perpetrated by individuals in positions of authority. High-profile cases like the Satyam Scandal underscore the urgent need for proactive measures to combat such malfeasance, necessitating collaboration between government bodies, law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, and corporate entities. Weak internal controls, lack of oversight, and technological advancements contribute to the proliferation of fraudulent activities, posing significant challenges for both public and private sectors. This review article comprehensively examines the landscape of white-collar crimes in India, addressing its definitions, classifications, and notable case studies. It also addresses proactive measures such as whistle-blowing, forensic accounting, enhanced audit, and control mechanisms, along with initiatives taken by the Indian government under the Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi to control and prevent fraud in various financial sectors to safeguard India's economic and social fabric.
