Will now take action against foreign black money holders: Govt


New Delhi, Oct 1 (PTI): Government today said it would initiate "action" against those who have not disclosed their black money and assets stashed abroad as the one-time compliance window under the newly enacted anti-Black Money law ended yesterday.

A total of 638 people used the window, declaring an amount of Rs 3,770 crore.

"Whatever has come, we accept it and now onwards we would start the action against those people who have not declared any asset and about whom the information would come to us," Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia told reporters here.

He said the window was the only opportunity for people to come clean in this regard and the government had no particular figure of money in mind that would come out after this 90-day exercise that finished yesterday.

"In order to give them an opportunity, this compliance window was there upto September 30 and the figures we have got so far are that 638 people have announced their foreign investment or foreign assets including bank account balances and the total amount coming to Rs 3,770 crore. So, it was only an opportunity given by us and we had no particular figure in mind," he said.

The Finance Ministry had added that these figures, as of now, are "subject to final reconciliation."

A tax at the rate of 30 per cent and a separate penalty at the rate of 30 per cent has to be paid by December 31, 2015 by these declarants after verification by the tax department.

The compliance window opened on July 1, 2015 and declarations were made in it by physical submission of a statement or through e-filing.

    So only BJP has got black money? Dozens of major scams which happened during UPA rule, what happened to that money? Before pointing fingers at others, look at what Dongi congis have done.

    NDA has done something on black money. But one question to Pappu supporters. In 2011, the Supreme Court had asked the then UPA govt to set up SIT probe. But nothing was done. Why is that Pappu supporters?? You all know the answer very well, but u won't tell. In the end, the party ended in 44. Haha

    Mahesh, Pilar - Shirva The BJP getting 22 seats all over India will be in your dreams only. Your party is in such a bad state, so why don't you donate some money? Also Why weren't u able to answer my question about 2011 SIT probe? You know what congis have done, but u don't wish to speak of it.

    First of all scrutinize the accounts of all politicians and also of their immediate family..!!! I am sure India can wipe out all the debts with this money...!!!??? Business people had struggled hard to make money and also have taken efforts/risks to make money. But these politicians have made money with 0% risk and 0% effort....!!!???

    Oh...let me also peep through that lucky window....!
    Those who complied thru that window will not be prosecuted...? No there is something fishy... Now some of the BJPians might have deposited dirty money thru that window may be. Congress will never ...! Because its a trap for congress as BJP would tomorrow use the names during the coming elections and BJP names will be hushed up inside...
    This is my style of thinking....Anyway black money will remain black for ever Amen..!
