Memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister
In the memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister, it is written that in the year 2019, the government had made the Irregular Deposit Schemes Prohibition Act (BUDS Act 2019) guaranteeing the payment of the lost deposits to the fraud victims of the country, in which the government and the Parliament had promised to pay the fraud victims two to three times their deposit amount in 180 days. This law was made to pay the investors of all those companies and societies, firms, funds, non-banking companies etc. whose deposits have not been returned to them.
