The government has extended the tenure of Enforcement Directorate (ED) Director Rahul Navin by one year, keeping the 59-year-old officer at the head of India's federal anti-money laundering agency beyond his scheduled retirement.
Navin, a 1993-batch Indian Revenue Service officer from the Income Tax cadre, has led the ED since September 2023. He was appointed the agency's full-time director on August 14, 2024. The one-year extension ends his fixed tenure and will keep him in service through August 2027, including post-superannuation service. His scheduled retirement was July 31, 2027.
During his time as director, Navin has established a roadmap for completing investigations and auctioning attached properties. The plan aims to return seized assets to rightful claimants and fraud victims.
