This data represents the annual investigative and prosecutorial performance of the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) in India over five years (2017-18 to 2021-22). The data indicates there is a trend with an increase in the number of cases investigated, except for a slight dip in 2020-21 (7 cases), likely due to COVID-19 disruptions. 2019-20 saw the highest prosecutions (328 companies), suggesting a major crackdown or large-scale fraud cases that year.
