Applicability to Pre-Existing Deposits
The BUDS Act (2019) is primarily aimed at regulating and banning unregulated deposit schemes conducted after its commencement. Several judgments clarify that deposits received prior to the Act's commencement are generally not covered unless the schemes continued post-commencement. However, schemes operating after the Act's start are explicitly governed by its provisions, and any ongoing business falls under its jurisdiction regardless of when the deposits were initially received.

Overriding Effect Over State Laws
The BUDS Act is held to have overriding authority over existing state laws concerning deposit regulation, as confirmed by multiple courts. It creates a comprehensive legal framework that supersedes local laws, emphasizing the need for investigations and proceedings under the Act for schemes operating after its enforcement.

Courts have emphasized the importance of strict enforcement, including the appointment of competent authorities and the establishment of designated courts, to address unregulated deposit schemes effectively.

The commencement of the BUDS Act in 2019 marked a significant shift in the regulation of deposit schemes, establishing a framework that overrides previous laws. Its provisions primarily target schemes operating after the Act's enforcement, with courts affirming its jurisdiction and authority over such schemes. Deposits received prior to commencement are generally not covered unless the schemes continued thereafter. The Act empowers designated authorities to investigate and take action against unregulated deposit schemes, emphasizing its comprehensive and overriding nature. Overall, the BUDS Act's commencement solidifies its role as the primary legal instrument for regulating and banning unregulated deposit schemes in India.
