The most frequently occurring fraud scheme is
corruption and bribery, which is part of about 30% of
all fraud that is uncovered.
At present there are no legal provisions to check graft
in the private sector in India. Government has
proposed amendments in existing acts and certain
new bills for checking corruption in private sector.
Corruption may lead to further bureaucratic delay and
inefficiency if corrupted bureaucrats introduce red
tape in order to extort more bribes.
