White Collar Crime: A Major Threat To Indian Economy

Author(s) Ms. Smruti Smaraki Dalabehera
Country India
Abstract White-collar crime has emerged as one of the most significant threats to the Indian economy in the modern era. Unlike conventional crimes, white-collar crimes are committed by individuals, professionals, corporations, and public officials in positions of trust and authority for financial gain. These crimes include fraud, corruption, embezzlement, money laundering, tax evasion, cybercrime, insider trading, and corporate misconduct. The rapid growth of globalization, technological advancement, and complex financial systems has increased opportunities for such illegal activities. White-collar crimes adversely affect economic stability by causing substantial financial losses, reducing government revenue, discouraging foreign investment, and undermining public confidence in institutions. In India, several high-profile financial scandals and banking frauds have highlighted the vulnerability of regulatory mechanisms and corporate governance frameworks. Furthermore, the hidden nature of these crimes makes their detection and prosecution challenging. This study examines the various forms of white-collar crime in India, analyzes their impact on economic development, and evaluates the effectiveness of existing legal and regulatory measures. The paper also suggests stronger enforcement mechanisms, greater transparency, technological surveillance, and public awareness as essential strategies to combat white-collar crime and safeguard the nation's economic interests.
