The High Level Committee constituted by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, in its first meeting held today, decided to seek public comments on ways to unearth black money. The Committee, headed by CBDT Chairman Prakash Chandra, was set up last month to examine ways to strengthen laws to curb generation of black money in India, its illegal transfer abroad and its recovery.

“The Committee held its first meeting today and decided to seek public comments. It discussed which laws need to be amended to bring back black money,” sources told PTI.

The meeting was held in the backdrop of the government facing flak from civil society and opposition for not doing enough to deal with the menace of black money.

The committee, consisting of officials from senior officials from the CBDT, Enforcement Directorate, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, Currency unit and financial intelligence department, would submit its report in six months.

The Committee is expected to submit its report in six months.

To deal with the menace of black money, the government had yesterday announced setting up of another panel to suggest ways to trace tax defaulters, reveal their identity to the public and recover taxes.

    I think the govt. Should work as a big corporate house. In which the money of shareholder is involved but they could not intervene into day to day affairs of it, but they will be fully liable for each and every improper act.
    Since most of the ministerial person don’t have required technical qualification to handle those area.though they are elected by public but it doesn’t mean they are inborn genius and have expertise ex. Finance,scientific, cultural railway, engineering etc.
    When we go for a small job in a co. Our bosses requires high potential and expertise in that small sphere of work.

    It is a very surprising that in our country all this is allocated in return for supporting and forming govt.
    It should be eliminated from our system.
    In my view govt. Should understand this and must hire the personnel of expertise level so that better result can be derived by public at large.the minister should control them only as shareholder which restrict their abnormal act, but on the same way the must be independent to handle it efficiently.
    Please support this new concept of political mgmt. and national management for India

    On 9th Day of the fast

    Here is my appeal to Baba / Anna / Pranab / Kapil / Advaniji :

    Please do not make this a personal prestige issue. Compromise for the sake of nation’s prestige.

    Settle on following compromise formula :

     Prime Minister and Chief Justice of India to be excluded from the purview of proposed Lokpal Bill

     All other ministers / judges to be included

     All MPs / MLAs to be included

     All government servants to be included, irrespective of rank

     Maximum punishment for those found corrupt to be life imprisonment

     Lokpal to be made answerable to the President of India and can be dismissed / punished by the President if deemed to be corrupt

     Lokpal shall not hold any other “ position of profit “, nor can be a retired government servant

     Black money ( whether illegally stashed abroad or within the country ) to be declared “ National Asset / National Wealth “

     Encourage black money to be repatriated legally – and without penalty – if invested in Govt approved Infrastructure Bonds / SPVs

     Gradually reduce personal income tax to a max of 15 % and Corporate tax to a max of 20%

     Start drafting a separate bill whereby voters can recall their elected representative to Panchayats / Municipalities / Legislative Assemblies / Parliament

    There are always two parties to a dispute. Any agreement reached must appear like a win-win situation to both. If any party gets a feeling that it “ lost out “, then it will find ways and means to sabotage the agreement.

    What good is an agreement that looks good on a piece of paper but just cannot be implemented ?

    Please forget the events of last few days. Make the first move towards reconciliation. Nation expects from you humility / magnanimity.Mud slinging will take you nowhere !

    With regards

    hemen parekh

    Jobs for All = Peace on Earth

    PS :

    11:30 am / Just heard Baba broke his fast. First step taken. Now it is your move, Pranabda !
