Correct Answer:
B. Accused is convicted and funds released to Govt
Informer rewards are contingent upon the ultimate success and legal finality of the case, ensuring that public funds are disbursed only when a tangible benefit to the state has been realized. The correct condition is that the accused is convicted and funds are released to the Government. This ensures the reward is tied to a complete and successful legal process, including the recovery of assets or funds. Merely registering an FIR, conducting a successful raid, or seizing stock are preliminary steps that do not guarantee a conviction or the final forfeiture of assets to the government, hence they are insufficient conditions for a reward.
