Curated summary

The government has extended Enforcement Directorate director Rahul Navin’s tenure by one year. Navin, a 1993-batch IRS officer, took charge in September 2023 and was formally appointed in August 2024; the new order keeps him in office until August 2027 and could allow further extensions later. The summary says he has pushed officers to finish probes within two years and speed up auction and return of attached assets to victims and banks.
