Analysis
At an election rally in Churu, Rajasthan on 5 April 2024, Modi said the Enforcement Directorate had seized assets worth more than Rs 1 lakh crore in ten years. In an ANI interview broadcast on 15 April 2024 he repeated that assets worth Rs 1 lakh crore had been attached in his tenure.
The Enforcement Directorate's annual report (2024-25) states that assets under provisional attachment reached Rs 1,54,594 crore by 31 March 2025, with Rs 30,036 crore attached in FY 2024-25 alone, and that enforcement activity rose sharply after 2014 compared with the period before it.
Attachments are provisional and require confirmation by the PMLA Adjudicating Authority and courts; the confirmed value (Rs 1,06,730 crore) is lower than the attached value, and litigation stays apply to some attachments. The order of magnitude in the statement is consistent with ED data.

Notes
The claim uses 'seized'; ED's figures are for provisional 'attachment' under PMLA. The NDTV report of the same speech was not accessible (HTTP 403), so the WION live blog and ANI transcript are used. Pre-2014 comparison figure (Rs 5,000 crore) is widely cited by the ED/government; not independently opened here.
