| Rahul Navin, a 1993-batch Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer, became the interim Director of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on 15 September 2023. |
| He joined the ED in 2019 and later led its headquarters division as the Chief Vigilance Officer. |
| Navin took over the interim Director role from Sanjay Mishra after his term concluded, and is expected to serve until a permanent Director is appointed or further instructions are given. |
| Before this appointment, Navin held the position of Special Director at the ED. |
| The central government closely monitored Navin's appointment, reluctant to see Sanjay Mishra retire. |
| During Mishra's tenure, the ED pursued cases against politicians, resulting in discoveries of money laundering cases and imprisonment of several politicians for financial crimes. |
| Mishra's term as Director began in 2018 and was extended in 2020 amidst legal proceedings against further extensions. |
| Despite legal contentions, Mishra served additional time, aided by amendments allowing yearly extensions up to five years. |
| The Supreme Court upheld its decision limiting extensions but granted a final extension for a month and a half due to an upcoming FATF review. |
| Sanjay Mishra retired in September 2023 after receiving his fourth extension, completing five years in the bureaucracy. |
