Sanjay Kumar Mishra, the former Enforcement Directorate<\/a> (ED) chief, has been a full-time member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM). Mr Misha is a 1984-batch Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer from Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n

He was first appointed as the director of the probe agency for a stipulated period of two years in 2018, but was given multiple extensions by the government. He, however, stepped down in September 2023 after the Supreme Court’s intervention.<\/p>\n

Mr Mishra, during his tenure, had tightened scrutiny on many former ministers and powerful leaders<\/a>, with the probe agency registering about 4,000 cases and conducting over 3,000 searches.<\/p>\n

Born in Lucknow in a middle-class family, his first posting was in Gorakhpur as assistant director in the Income Tax department.<\/p>\n

Mr Mishra is seen as a man with a keen interest in understanding the nexus of politics and business, and someone who understands taxation, matters related to economics and foreign currency.<\/p>\n

EAC-PM, an independent body, was constituted to give advice on economic and related issues to the Government of India, specifically to the prime minister.<\/p>\n

Currently, the composition of EAC-PM is: Suman Bery (chairman), Sanjeev Sanyal (member), Shamika Ravi (member), Rakesh Mohan (part-time member), Sajjid Chinoy (part-time member), Neelkanth Mishra (part-time member), Nilesh Shah (part-time member), TT Ram Mohan (part-time member) and Poonam Gupta (part-time member).<\/p>\n
