Abstract

The article deals with the institution of criminal offenses under the criminal law of India. The main approaches to the concept of the economic offence within the framework of Indian legal studies were studied. A theoretical analysis of the definitions of the term “economic crime/offence” and the study of the connection of the term with the criminological term “white-collar crime” were carried out. Based on the results of the analysis, a description of the system of economic crimes in accordance with the Indian criminal law was given. It was found out that at the present time the Indian legislation on economic crimes encompasses a significant number of acts, including the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and a number of statutory laws (e.g. the Income Tax Act, 1961; the Companies Act, 2013 and others).
