MLAT

Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty. The formal mechanism for cross-border evidence requests. India has bilateral MLATs with over 40 countries including the US, UK, France and UAE. Average turnaround for the US MLAT is reported at 8 to 12 months, which is the reason informal data-sharing channels via SSMI Indian offices are preferred for time-sensitive matters.
