  • Investigation by the local police and IT officials suggest the seized currency was part of a money laundering racket.

    Tribals in the northeast have certain tax exemptions that the money-launderers likely wanted to exploit.

    Some businessmen from Haryana roped in Anato Zhimomi; almost Rs.11 crores of demonetized currency was to be deposited in Zhimomi's bank account and wire-transferred back to the Haryana businessmen.

  • Do you know?

    Tax exemption to tribals

  • Tribals of five Northeastern states - Nagaland, Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram, and Arunachal Pradesh - are fully exempted from tax liabilities under Section 10 (26) of the IT Act, 1961. They are allowed to claim exemption from tax with respect to income from any source.

    Action taken by authorities

    Action taken by authorities
  • Anato Zhimomi, confessed to 'ferrying' currency on three occasions from Hissar to Dimapur; he has now been arrested.

    Tax officials are questioning the Haryana-based businessman who was laundering his money via Zhimomi's bank account.

    Police also have the proprietor of the airline under the scanner; this incident highlighted complete absence of security at small airports which tomorrow could be misused by terrorists.
