About the book

With the passage of time, the existing State Depositor Protection Laws have proven inadequate in protecting the general public from unscrupulous deposit-taking firms. Parliament has though it fit to remedy the situation by bringing out Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Act, 2019.

This book is a brief, analytical, section-wise legal commentary on the recently enacted Banning Act which is an umbrella law covering all kinds of deposits-Central and State.
