ED says : No ED ( Escape of Data )
Context :
Centre allows ED to share info with 15 more agencies including NIA, CCI / BS / 29 Nov 2022
Extract :
The government has allowed the Enforcement Directorate to share information about economic offenders with 15 more agencies :
Summary of Agencies required to share Data :
Ø Central Bureau Of Investigations [ CBI ]
Ø Reserve Bank of India [ RBI ]
Ø Security and Exchange Board [ SEBI ]
Ø Intelligence Bureau [ IB ]
Ø Financial Intelligence Unit [ FIU ]
Ø Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India [ IRDAI ]
Ø Enforcement Directorate [ ED ]
Ø Serious Fraud Investigation Office [ SFIO ]
Ø Competition Commission of India [ CCI ]
Ø National Investigation Agency [ NIA ]
Ø Central Vigilance Commission [ CVC ]
Ø State Police Departments
Ø Directorate General of Foreign Trade [ DGFT ]
Ø Ministry of External Affairs [ MEA ]
Ø Defence Intelligence Agency [ DIA ]
Ø National Intelligence Grid [ NIG ]
Ø National Technical Research Organisation [ NTRO ]
Ø Military Intelligence [ MI ]
Ø Wildlife Crime Control Bureau [ WCCB ]
Ø Inquiry authority under Central Civil Services Rules
Ø Regulators under various Acts
This change will integrate numerous state and central government agencies, empowering them with verified information related to an outlaw.
"Sharing information among numerous agencies will help them to apprehend social evils and bring them to justice in the court of law," Mohan said.
MY TAKE :
Central Government is like an Elephant : moves slowly but once it moves , it is unstoppable !
It took me a lot of PERSEVERENCE as you can see from following e-mails that I sent to Cabinet Ministers :
Ø E - Governance ? .............................
Extract :
Can e-Governance help eliminate corruption ?
Most certainly
Look at the following , partial list of Central and State Agencies set up to fight fraud , money-laundering ,
corruption , tax-evasion , economic crimes etc :
> Public Accounts Committee ( PAC )
> Central Vigilance Commission ( CVC )
> Central Information Commission ( CIC )
> Research and Analysis Wing ( RAW )
> Serious Fraud Investigation Office ( SFIO )
> Information Bureau ( IB )
> Economic Offence Wing ( EOW )
> Central Bureau of Investigation ( CBI )
> Department of Revenue Intelligence ( DIR )
> Comptroller and Auditor General ( CAG )
> Anti Corruption Bureaus ( States ).... ( ACB )
> Enforcement Directorate ( ED )
> Lok Ayukts ( States )
> Lok Pal ( Central )
Despite such an army of Agencies , how do corrupt manage to get away ?
Or, in case caught , manage to delay delivery of punishment for years ?
No doubt , there must be several reasons , including , inter - agency rivalry to get credit - something difficult
to eliminate altogether
But , I believe , the most important reason is :
Lack of a COMMON / COMPUTERIZED database of all offences / cases / persons being investigated -
and , which is readily " Accessible " to all of these Agencies , all over the country ( 24 * 365 )
Already , every Agency compiles huge dossiers on " Suspects " in its own " Departmental Database " , which is
never shared with other Agencies , leading to ,
> Huge amount of duplication of efforts / information
> Fractured / scattered profiles of " Suspects "
> Enormous waste of time / resources
What will help ?
> Dismantling of individual departmental databases
> Merging of all Agency-wise databases into a SINGLE / UNIQUE database
> All Agencies to enter their findings / data / info into this COMMON database , with nothing preserved on
local computers
> All data-entry FORMS to be ONLINE . No paper forms at all
> All local computers connected to ultra-secure Network ( Encrypted )
> " Access Rights " to individuals , based on Biometric Identification
Will BJP want to make this , a prominent promise in their Poll-Manifesto , likely to be released on 7th April ? ( Congress / AAP missed this boat ! )
