Just the read the Indian Express Exposure on Black Money and HSBC Indian clients` list once again.Would the government act now?

Referenc:Geneva's public prosecutor searched HSBC's lakeside Swiss office on Wednesday after opening a criminal inquiry into allegations of aggravated money laundering, the second probe to hit the bank this week.

Europe's largest lender is in regulators' sights after details about how its Swiss private bank allegedly helped wealthy clients dodge taxes were leaked to the media and published last week.

Would Business friendly government act to bring back Black Money now?


Would Modi Deposit Rs Fifteen Hundred thousand in every Indian account as he promised?

Because Swiss prosecutor raids HSBC office, opens criminal inquiry!


Swiss police on Wednesday searched HSBC offices here as part of its probe into "suspected money laundering" by the global banking giant, which has been in news for a leaked list of its account holders that included 1,195 Indian names.


The banking major has come under the scanner after a global expose earlier this month by a grouping of investigative journalists disclosed details of over one lakh account holders in HSBC Geneva branch.


This included 1,195 Indian names, including those of big corporates and political leaders.


The Swiss prosecutors are probing HSBC Private Bank as well as unknown persons for "suspected aggravated money laundering" activities.




Because the fight against black money had been the brand equity of RSS politics and Modi magic was all about the dream that every Indian would get back the money they lost to the swiss accounts.Anna Brigade is fighting for long.


Anna is expected to begin his latest version of Satyagrah against corruption and black money.


Though two of his lieutenants deserted him who played the key role in last Satyagrah .Kejriwal became the Chief Minister while Kiran bedi has been reduced to become a shafron scapegoat at the end of the bullfight in New Delhi.



Yes, Amit Shah has already clarified that it was nothing but a joke.But we may not expect such a serious joke from a national leader.


However Modiji have not spoken a word on his high voltage emotional promise in every election meeting and the promise assured good days with black money back home.


Modiji have not withdrawn this promise and each one of us have every right to claim those 15ooo thousand in our account as most of the citizens have been included into making in economy with UID and Jan Dhan Yojana.


Meanwhile,the income tax department is soon expected to file a complaint against HSBC bank, Geneva, for allegedly "abetting" tax evasion in India by way of unauthorisedly operating accounts of its citizens in its overseas branch.


Sources said the complaint against the global banking giant is expected to be filed under Section 278 of the I-T Act (abetment of false return) before March 31 as these accounts pertain to the time period of 2006-07 and would get "time barred" after that date.


The department, a senior I-T officer said, has taken upon itself to file these cases after informing the special investigation team (SIT) on black money, which is understood to have given its go ahead.



With his clarification Amit Shah has confirmed our claim.Thanks Shahju!Ram Ram Shaa!Shahju!

Here you are!

Modiji on Rs 15 lakh returning to accounts was a political 'jumla': Amit Shah to ABP News

New Delhi: BJP chief Amit Shah on Thursday defended PM Narendra Modi on being regularly attacked by the Opposition for saying during the election campaign that Rs 15 lakh will be deposited in the bank accounts of all Indians once the black money is recovered.

In an exclusive interview to ABP News, Amit Shah said that Modiji's statement during Lok Sabha poll campaigning was just a political jumla (idiomatic expression). The thought behind the statement was to recover the black money stashed abroad and utilizing it to the development of the poor.

"Modiji's statement was an idiomatic expression (jumla) that was given during the Lok Sabha polls. Everybody knows that this black money doesn't go to accounts of people," he said.

"The black money that would return to the country from abroad will be used to help the poor and the needy through schemes, Modiji had said that. If Kejriwalji doesn't understand this then I pity him," Shah added.

Recalling Kejriwal's earlier statements, Shah said that "there is a difference between jumlas and promises."

"The AAP chief is known to make tall promises & not fulfilling them. He had vowed not to take government car, accommodation, will make contractual labourers permanent, weekly conduct janata darbars. Will serve the people of Banaras for 5 years even if he wins or loses. All of these were clear promises made to the citizens and not idiomatic expressions," he further said.

Palash Biswas - Shared privately

Aug 25, 2011 - Black Money in Swiss Bank mainly from India, Wikileaks Exposed the Holy Cows. Anna Hazare campaign against Corruption is quite SILENT on this list. Why?



"Following the recent revelations related to the HSBC Private Bank (Switzerland), the public prosecutor announces the opening of a criminal procedure against the bank... For aggravated money laundering," the Swiss Prosecutors Office said in a statement.


The investigation comes against the backdrop of allegations that the bank might have helped wealthy customers to evade tax.


According to prosecutors, the probe could be broadened to others depending on the progress in the case.


The expose claimed that HSBC's Swiss private banking arm aided customers, spread across more than 200 countries, to evade taxes on amounts worth over USD 119 billion.


Names of businessmen, celebrities and political figures, among others, are part of the leaked list.

HSBC, which admitted to some past lapses on its part, recently came out with full-page advertisements in papers with an apology over the claims.


The list has 1,668 Indians, while the number of actionable cases stands at 1,195 after taking into account duplication and some other factors. Collectively, these accounts had a balance of USD 4.1 billion (Rs 25,420 crore) till 2007. However, all of those accounts may not necessarily have had illicit funds.


Asked about steps being taken by Swiss authorities to ensure that illicit funds are not stashed in their banks, the Switzerland government had said, "Since 2009, Switzerland has changed its financial market policy and is strongly committed to the international standards and to the fight against tax evasion."


In the list, there are 2,699 accounts linked to 1,688 Indians. Out of these, 1,403 accounts were opened between 1969 and 2006, while the maximum amount of money associated with a client connected to India was USD 876.3 million.


Among Indian names, 51 per cent have a Indian passport or nationality, while the remaining accounts were either linked to offshore companies, or were 'numbered' accounts.Earlier, India had received from France a list of over 628 Indians with account in HSBC's Geneva branch. That list was also part of the larger 'HSBC list', which a former bank employee had "secreted away" to the French government.


Switzerland, long known as a place with unbreakable banking secrecy, has come under intense global pressure, including from India, to crack down on illicit fund flows.


Armed with information received about its citizens holding secret accounts in Swiss banks, India has been seeking details from Switzerland, but most of these requests were being stonewalled by the European nation on the ground of those being based on stolen data.


Consequently, India has now changed its strategy and has decided to seek details on the basis of additional evidence collected by it on suspected cases of black money stashed in Swiss banks.
