Rahul Navin Gets One-Year Extension as ED Director
The extension keeps the 1993-batch Indian Revenue Service officer in charge as the agency expands international cooperation and money-laundering probes.
On Saturday, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet extended Enforcement Directorate Director Rahul Navin's tenure by one year, keeping him in office until August 13, 2027.
A 1993-batch Indian Revenue Service officer, Navin has led the agency as its full-time chief since August 14, 2024, after assuming the acting director role in September 2023.
During his tenure, the ED secured a higher-rated category in the FATF's 2024 Mutual Evaluation and signed a financial crimes cooperation agreement with Mauritius in 2025.
In a separate case involving Bhasin Infotech, the agency attached 389 immovable properties with a current market value exceeding 700 crore, reflecting strengthened asset recovery efforts.
This extension allows Navin to serve beyond his scheduled superannuation date of July 31, 2027, with tenure continuing until August 13, 2027, or until further orders.
