Black money wall after RTI query

-The Telegraph

New Delhi: A Right to Information applicant has drawn a blank while trying to access studies carried out on black money by autonomous research institutions under the finance ministry, making him wonder whether these documents have been sucked into some black hole.

Even the much-touted special investigation team on black money - set up by the Narendra Modi government soon after assuming office - has informed Venkatesh Nayak of the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative that it has no such study.

It referred his RTI application to the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP), the National Council of Applied Economic Research and the National Institute of Financial Management.

Four public authorities related to unearthing black money have given four different replies, Nayak said in a detailed statement along with copies of responses he got from each of them.

The four public authorities are the Foreign Tax and Tax Research-I Division of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the Investigation Division of the Department of Revenue, Black Money SIT, and the NIPFP.
