I saw a series of advertisements by Department of Income tax in newspapers making people aware of “How Income Tax department can catch you – if you are doing some high value transactions and don’t declare it.”
I guess IT department is going hi-tech and hope they are doing good analytics to get hold of the defaulters.
Here are some numbers published in the below advertisements…
- 33,21,695 people acquired Mutual Fund Units (of Rs 2 lakh or more)/ Bonds or Debentures (of Rs 5 Lakh or more)/ Shares issued by a Company (of Rs 1 Lakh or more) or Bonds issued by RBI (of Rs 5 lakh and more) during the financial year 2009-10 and 2010-11.
