Government today said there was no proposal to amend the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for ensuring that money laundered by scamsters goes back to the victims of chit fund or any other similar frauds.
"No such proposal is under consideration of the government," Minister of State for Finance Nirmala Sitharaman told Lok Sabha in a written reply.
