[rtitimes] Appeal to Swami Ramdevji, please remember that Just setup of Investigation Directorate under CBDT would not resolve the problem of Black Money.

Respected Swami Ramdev ji,

 

I am very happy that you had clarified that your movement is just none-political, and you have no plan to lounch any political party, the issue for which I was disagree with your honor, as I pointed out in my letter dated 16 March, 2010, sent to your honor by registered post.

 

Now I have no problem to joint your movement against corruption, since I have taken an oath when I joined the Lok Sevak Sangh that I will never join politics, and I am fully adhering with my oath, since I am from a larger Choraria family in which great Saint Acharya Mahpragnayji was born.

 

However, I may be permitted to point out that Government cannot be considered on its face value, on Corruption issue. I have personal experience from Shri Pranab Mukherjee, when he was Steel and Mines Minister in 1980.

 

With regard to setup of the Investigation Directorate under CBDT, I can predict that it cannot resolve the problem relating cases involving tax evasion arising out of criminal activities. I support of my serious charges, based experience from CBDT's two other Departments: (1) Directorate of Income Tax (Investigation); and (2) Directorate of Vigilance.

 

I am fighting against Kolkata Land Mafia since 1987, when it was exposed to me that he was behind severe attempt to eliminate me, by misusing his close Nexus with Sri Jyoti Basu and by misusing his muscle and black money powers. Since thereafter, I submitted large number complaints against aforesaid Kolkata Land Mafia, and in 2006 one Director-General of IT (Inv.), Kolkata under gratification from aforesaid Kolkata Land Mafia and with full support from CBDT tried to paint me as extornist, because under RTI Act, I wanted to know from IT Department about the action taken on my complaints.

 

In response to my repeated applications and under direction from Central Information Commission the then Director of Income Tax (Inv.) Kolkata admitted that on my repeated complaints they made raid, search, investigation, enquiry and in another letter further admitted through Memo letter No. DIT-Inv/Sec-7/07-08/K-42/403 dated 30.04./8.05.2007, issued under signature of Mr. Sumohan Chakraborty, Director of Income Tax (Investigation) it was interalia admitted that on the basis of Information received through a Letter of complaint from me, in the year of 1996 a search and seizure was conducted against some of the members of the respective family and during the course of search total concealment of Rs.13,20,08,222 was detected tentatively, and the group as a whole submitted six disclosure petitions making a disclosure of Rs.9,54,94,906.  Therefore, under the condition that his name cannot be disclosed by me, one Senior IT Officer advised me to submit a Bill on account of Reward, which according to him was payable to me. Thus I submitted Bill dated 1^st June, 2007 for Rs.2,37,23,878/- along with a detailed sheet separately relating to said Bill. Although respective Enqquiry reports were prepared under hand in glove, with support from CBDT.

First of all IT Department, under gratification from aforesaid Kolkata Land Mafia (who was an employee of Rs.300/- per month salary in 1977 now accumulated wealth of Rs.10,000 Crores, major part of it in black money) said that I was not a informant, rather was a complainant. Since, I have already collected respective guidelines, as such I submitted that every informant is also a complainant. Then under supervision from CBDT, they change false stand that aforesaid Director made wrong interpretation, because aforesaid Raid was not conducted on the basis of my complaint. This is an open example of the working of CBDT, under a prevailing culture based on completely falsification to save the Big Tax Evaders, having Nexus with Powerful Politician.

 

Similarly I can cite example of another department viz. Directorate General of Income Tax (Vigilance), but don't want to take your valuable time. You can ask about me, from respected Sri Arvind Kejriwalji.

 

However, I want to meet your honor, if your honor give an appointment to me.

 

With Best Regard,

Yours sincerely,

CBDT gets nod to set up criminal investigation directorate

K.R.Srivats Business Line.

New Delhi, May 23: 

The Finance Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, has given his approval to the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to set up a criminal investigation directorate.

This would pave the way for the Income Tax Department to investigate cases involving tax evasion arising out of criminal activities. With this decision, high profile cases like Hasan Ali or those involving black money stashed away in the Liechtenstein Bank can now be effectively investigated, official sources said.

The Income Tax Department had come in for some criticism in the Hasan Ali case. In the recent years, there has also been criticism that the Department could do little in bringing back the black money stashed by Indians in banks abroad.

I-T Commissioners meet

Meanwhile, Mr Mukherjee will inaugurate the 27th Annual Conference of Chief Commissioners and Directors General of Income Tax in the Capital on Tuesday. The two-day conference will, among other things, discuss the various developments and the steps taken to tackle black money.

The administrative challenges that would be faced by the Income Tax Department during the transition to Direct Taxes Code (DTC) and measures to tackle those challenges are likely to be discussed, sources said.

The other issues that would be deliberated upon include use of information from central information bureau, processing of returns in centralised processing centre (CPC) environment, role of Income Tax department in assisting the Election Commission in ensuring fair elections besides strengthening of tax deduction at source (TDS) systems.
