Can the UK extradite me from India for tax evasion or regulatory offences?

Tax evasion and regulatory offences are extraditable only if they meet the dual criminality threshold under both legal systems. Pure tax offences historically faced resistance, but the UK-India Treaty covers fiscal offences where they constitute serious crimes carrying at least one year’s imprisonment. The critical question is whether the specific conduct alleged — not merely the legal characterisation — would constitute a criminal offence under Indian law. Revenue cases involving fraud elements are more likely to satisfy dual criminality than technical regulatory breaches. Each case requires careful analysis of the underlying factual allegations.
