Official sources said the taxman carried out a total of 677 search, survey and enquiry operations under the provisions of the Income Tax Act since the note ban was declared on November 8, even as the department has issued over 3,100 notices to various entities on charges of tax evasion and hawala-like dealings.

Sleuths of the Income Tax (IT) investigation wing seized currency to the tune of Rs.40 lakh in the brand new Rs.2,000 denomination from a five-member team at Edapally on Wednesday.

Acting on specific information, IT officials sent decoy hoarders to the team, comprising residents of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, to get the voided currency notes exchanged in lieu of the newly introduced notes.

“They were in a vehicle registered in Tamil Nadu and would have made similar trips before during the last one month after demonetisation to launder black money on commission. The exact amount seized is being ascertained as we are still counting. We are also recording their statements,” sources confirmed to The Hindu.

The IT officials are also trying to verify how the gang managed to get such a huge sum in brand new currency when there is a ceiling on banking transactions. The officials are likely to share information with the Enforcement Directorate, which investigates money laundering cases. Also to be seen is if the gang had received the support of some bank officials in hoarding huge stashes of the new currency.

TH22_SEARCHES_


CRPF men deployed outside the residence of Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary P. Rama Mohana Rao at Anna Nagar in Chennai on Wednesday.


Cash, gold seized in searches on official’s premises across 3 States
In simultaneous searches, unprecedented in their scale and nature, the Income Tax Department on Wednesday went through the residential and office premises of Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary P. Rama Mohana Rao in Chennai, Bengaluru and Andhra Pradesh, and seized Rs. 30 lakh cash in new currency and 5 kg of gold. Besides, they unearthed “undisclosed income” to the tune of Rs. 5 crore from the house of Mr. Rao’s son, Vivek Papisetty, in Thiruvanmiyur here.

The raids began early in the morning at Mr. Rao’s two-storied bungalow in Anna Nagar here and extended to 10 other places, including his office in the State Secretariat. Considering that the State police were under the Chief Secretary’s command, the I-T officers, in the afternoon, requisitioned deployment of armed personnel from the Central Reserve Police Force to provide security. Nearly 100 senior officials of the I-T department were involved in the operations.

I-T department sources said the searches were carried out based on evidence gathered during the recent raids at the business and private premises of J. Sekhar Reddy, an expelled member of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Board-cum-government contractor and his two associates. Reddy, a big-time sand mining contractor, was on Wednesday arrested by the CBI, which registered cases with regard to money laundering and under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code and remanded in judicial custody.

A senior official in the Income Tax Investigations Wing in Chennai told The Hindu that more people would come under their scanner. According to the taxmen, the searches were conducted in connection with Mr. Rao’s links to Reddy. On December 8, the I-T department cracked a case of money laundering after scrutinising the premises of Reddy, sand miner K. Sreenivasulu and their associate Prem Kumar. Reddy runs a firm JSR Infra Developers Private Limited.

The I-T department said that during the searches, Rs. 96.89 crore cash in withdrawn high denomination notes and Rs. 9.63 crore in new Rs. 2,000 currency notes, along with gold weighing 127 kg and worth approximately Rs. 36.29 crore, were seized from the trio.

Income Tax officials today claimed that former Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary P Rama Mohana Rao's son has "admitted to a total unaccounted income of about Rs 17 crore", a day after I-T raids were carried out at the top bureaucrat's house, office and other premises linked to his kin in connection with a tax evasion probe.

"Vivek has admitted to a total unaccounted income of about [approximately] Rs 17 crore which includes Rs five crore disclosure made by him yesterday," a top tax official told PTI on the condition of anonymity.

He said disclosure of income made by Vivek happened against the backdrop of evidence gathered by tax sleuths after they zeroed in on Shekar Reddy and his associate from whose premises cash of Rs 135 crore and 177 kg gold bars were seized recently. Vivek could not be contacted for his comment.

Rao was today replaced from the top post and Additional Chief Secretary Girija Vaidyanathan was appointed as the new Chief Secretary. Similarly, in related searches conducted by I-T sleuths at the premises of two individuals here -- one of them a former IFS official who headed the state's Environment Impact Assessment Authority -- the duo had also admitted unaccounted money, the official said.

"While the former IFS official has admitted to unaccounted money -- an income of about Rs 1.1 crore, another person has admitted to Rs 1.75 crore," the official said, adding such disclosures by them have come close on the heels of "evidence following the Shekar Reddy case".

To a query if they had seized anything from the duo, the official said "some seizures," without elaborating further. Continuing its crackdown on black money post demonetisation, the Income Tax department had yesterday searched 11 locations linked to Rao, including his official chamber and residence, besides those of his son, and claimed to have seized Rs 30 lakh in new currency and five kg gold.

The searches were also conducted in Chitoor on premises of Rao's relatives in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. IT officials had yesterday claimed Vivek had admitted to having undisclosed income of Rs five crore.

In a major seizure, the Income Tax Department today recovered at least Rs 2.3 crore cash in new currency notes from a local businessman.

According to officials, I-T sleuths raided the house and business entity of Amulya Das, owner of Mahim Enterprises in Nagaon town, this afternoon.

"The counting is not yet over. So far Rs 2.3 crore have been recovered. All the cash are in new notes of Rs 2,000 and Rs 500. The amount may increase further," an official said.

When contacted, Nagaon Superintendent of Police Debaraj Upadhaya confirmed the development.

"The raid is being carried out by the Income Tax Department. We have given them only the background support. They have raided Mahim Enterprise owned by Amulya Das in Boro Bazar area," he said.

Upadhaya said cash worth "several crores" have been seized and they were of "new notes".
It was learnt that Das was in the business of gutkha and pan masala even though they are banned.

I-T officials engaged one person to buy pan masala from that establishment and when he asked for a cash memo, it was refused.

At that moment, I-T officials under the leadership of Raktim Saikia raided the establishment this afternoon.

The income tax department on Thursday said it had carried out at least 43 search and survey operations across Gujarat post-demonetisation and unearthed undisclosed income as well as assets worth Rs 73.09 crore, including new currency of Rs 3.53 crore.

According to the director general of investigations of I-T Gujarat, P C Mody, as many as 30 searches and 13 surveys were carried out in different parts of the state after the Centre scrapped high value currency notes on November 8.

“During our searches we have seized cash as well as assets worth Rs 22.93 crore, including Rs 3.53 crore in new currency. During our survey operations, people have admitted to unaccounted income of Rs 50.16 crore,” said Mody at press conference in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

The senior I-T official also informed reporters that the department visited Memnagar branch of a private bank on Thursday to verify information related to transactions being done using dummy accounts.

“We only did verification upon receiving an input that transactions were made using some suspected dummy bank accounts. We have collected some documents from the bank. Further investigation is still on,” said Mody.

Mahesh Shah to be called for questioning

On Mahesh Shah, the businessman who had declared Rs 13,860 crore under the Income Declaration Scheme (IDS) and then claimed that the cash declared by him belonged to others, Mody said he will be called again for questioning.

“We will call him again for questioning. I want to assure you that whatever action as per the law deserves to be taken will be taken,” said Mody.

Principal chief commissioner of income tax, Gujarat, B D Gupta told reporters that Shah along with his chartered accountant Tehmul Sethna may face criminal proceedings for misleading the department.

“As of now, he has not revealed any names. We may file a complaint against Shah and his CA under IPC for filing false declaration. We have submitted a report to higher authorities in this regard. You will be informed very soon about our next step,” Gupta told reporters at the I-T headquarters.

67-year-old Shah, a property dealer, shot into limelight after he declared Rs 13,860 crore under IDS which closed on September 30. Later, Shah claimed that he was used a ‘front’ by some persons in declaring that money.

Shah was supposed to pay Rs 1,560 crore as the first instalment on the undisclosed income. Though November 30 was the last date, he failed to deposit the money, prompting officials to cancel his declaration and start an inquiry.

Guwahati: In what has created a sensation in Arunachal Pradesh, more than Rs 1300 crore, suspected to be black money, was deposited in few bank accounts in the state.

Though, SBI officials refused to divulge the specific bank details, sources in the bank admitted that they have recorded the deposit of Rs. 800 crore in the state soon after demonetisation.

A local daily of Itanagar, the Eastern Sentinel claimed that Rs 1300 crore was deposited in 15 bank accounts of SBI in Itanagar after demonetisation of currency. The editor of the newspaper claimed that they published the story three days back on the basis of information provided by SBI officials. “The bank has neither contradicted our story nor clarified it as yet,” the editor of the local daily said.

Claiming that banks have informed the authorities about these deposits, security sources said that suspicion on clandestine transactions in the frontier state started following the suicide of a HDFC branch manager at Naharlagun in a mysterious circumstance.

Pointing out that HDFC branch manager Rituparna Gohain has also left a suicide note, in which he confessed and named few contractors and politicians who exchanged and deposited demonetised currency in his branch to which he could reconcile in the accounts of the bank, security sources said

The suicide note is with the with police.

Asserting that a huge of amount of currency was smuggled to Itanagar from Assam only a day after demonetization of currency, security sources said that the HDFC branch manager was under pressure from various quarters to justify their clandestine exchange and deposits. Though, police is tight-lipped about the suicide note as it may open Pandora’s box.

Security sources said that a huge amount of old currency was also deposited in the Arunachal Pradesh State Cooperative Apex Bank branches of the state.

In absence of core-banking facilities with the Apex Bank, security sources said that bank officials have not been able to reconcile their accounts as yet. Security sources said that there were reports of bank officials functioning till late in the night and taking deposits even after the banking hours.

Indicating that many political leaders from Assam routed their black money through banks in Arunachal Pradesh, security sources said that a large number of new accounts were also opened after the demonetization to adjust and transfer the black money from the accounts of local residents of Arunachal Pradesh. It is significant local residents of the state are not required to pay any tax on their income.

Security sources, stressing the need of a thorough investigation into all the transaction of Arunachal Pradesh banks, said that there were reports of exchange of money at large scale from remote districts of the state.
