Core Work Pattern & Operational Framework

Direct Complaint Registration: Victims of financial fraud can now directly file complaints and register First Information Reports (FIRs) at the EOW police station, provided the case involves a monetary loss exceeding ₹ 2 crore.

Evidence-Based Intake: To initiate an investigation, the EOW requires concrete proof of transactions, such as bank statements, Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), or documents from the Sub-Registrar Office.

Autonomous Investigation: Once a case is registered, the wing has the authority to conduct independent investigations, record witness statements, and perform searches and seizures.

Multi-Disciplinary Expertise: The unit is staffed with officers trained in specialised fields like accounts, banking, and cyber forensics to handle the intricate nature of white-collar crimes.

Types of Cases Handled

The EOW focuses on high-value "WHITE-COLLAR" crimes that typically fall outside the scope of regular police stations, including:

Investment & Ponzi Schemes: Frauds promising high returns that eventually collapse, often involving hundreds of victims

Real Estate & Housing Frauds: Cases where builders divert funds, delay projects indefinitely, or sell the same property to multiple buyers

Bank & Loan Frauds: Use of forged documents or shell companies to obtain large loans or defraud banking institutions

GST & Tax Frauds: Organised networks siphoning money through fraudulent Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims and shell entities

Cyber Financial Crimes: Sophisticated digital traps, including "digital arrest" scams and job racketing
