Mahatma Gandhi said, "Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed". The primary function of money is to serve as a medium of exchange, and as such it is accepted without question in the final discharge of debts or payment of goods or services. Money is the ischolar_main cause of many evils like corruption, black marketing, smuggling, drug trafficking, tax evasion and many more.

Abstract


Mahatma Gandhi said, "Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed". The primary function of money is to serve as a medium of exchange, and as such it is accepted without question in the final discharge of debts or payment of goods or services. Money is the ischolar_main cause of many evils like corruption, black marketing, smuggling, drug trafficking, tax evasion and many more. People want more money to cater to their needs and at a point of time they do not hesitate to have money from any source (black or white). This paper titled "Factors Affecting Money Laundering: A Lesson for Developing Countries" aims to identify and examine the dynamics of Money Laundering in developing countries, India in particular. The paper will give a brief introduction about Money Laundering, its definition, the Process of Money Laundering, historical evolution and Consequences of Money Laundering. It includes a flow chart showing the procedure followed by banks to counter money laundering. We have also presented a timeline of various laws on Anti-Money laundering.
