Author: Suraj Surjit Chaudhary
Edition: 2020

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.

While there is no end to the kingdom of knowledge in this fast-changing society, there was dearth of suitable books on Depositor Protection Laws. 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.

It attempts to highlight and analyse the various issues, problems, short-comings, lapses and merits in the Banning Act and allied laws in the backdrop of the litigation surrounding the various State/UT Acts that this new Central Act replaces. This book will be of value to anyone concerned to understand the rights and remedies under this law.

It would be immensely useful for legal practitioners, company secretaries, chartered accountants, law makers, enforcement agencies, judges and depositors.
