Presentation Transcript

  1. What is Black Money? • Black money is income earned surreptitiously or illegally, usually in cash, and not reported to the government so as to avoid paying taxes on it.

  2. How People Earn Black Money • One of the easiest ways of making black money is not to pay the taxes. • Of all the people who are legally responsible for paying taxes only 2.5%of the people honestly pay up. • Other ways of making black money include depositing money in foreign banks, weapons and drugs smuggling, taking bribes, overnight visa offers etc.

  3. Black Money In India • A report of Swiss Banking Association in 2006 claimed that India tops the list when it comes to black money deposit in Swiss banks. • The total amount is around $1.4 trillion which is 40%of India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) • Most of the money had been deposited by corrupt politicians, high-ranked officers and industrialists.

  4. How The Money Can Be Used

  5. How The Money Can Be Used • India has a population of 450 million living under the poverty line. • If all the $1.4 trillion could be brought back then India’s foreign debt which amounts to $237billion could be paid off within 24 hours. • After this India will be left with $1.81 trillion which if used can make all taxes unnecessary. • India is one of the hungriest country in the world. Investing $300 billion will put all Indians out of the hunger trap.

  6. How The Money Can Be Used • India will then be left with $181 billion of which $60 billion should be used to reinforce defense capabilities. • The remaining $121 billion should be used in improving the Indian villages, funding higher education and developing cutting edge scientific research facilities.

  7. The Govt’s Non Action And Public Protests

  8. The Govt’s Non Action And Public Protests • Recently, due to international pressure, the Swiss government agreed to disclose the names of the account holders only if the respective governments formally asked for it.. The Indian government is not asking for the details. The most obvious reason is that this would lead to naming various UPA politicians. • This has given ground for public protests all over India which had been prominently led by social activist Anna Hazare and yoga guru Baba Ramdev.

  9. SC Order To Bring Back The Money On 4 July,2010 the Supreme Court has criticized the Central Government for dragging its feet over the matter and took matters in its own hands . Appointed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) ~ to be headed by retired SC judge Mr. B.P. Jeevan Reddy ~ to help track undeclared money stashed abroad by Indians. The new committee has been empowered to travel to other countries and collect information from government agencies. 

  10. Ending With Some Good News • Apart from this the good news that has recently hit news papers is that Switzerland has signed a contract with India and is called Restitution of Illegal Assets Act (RIAA). • This will allow the Government to freeze accounts and will become workable from January 2012.
