    Income Disclosure Scheme

    Income Disclosure Scheme
    Credits:
  • The government launched the Income Disclosure Scheme (IDS) for voluntary disclosure of 'domestic black money' on June 1, 2016

    The four-month compliance window of IDS closed on September 30, 2016.

    Those who declare prior to September 30 were required to pay 45 percent tax plus penalty.

    These taxes were to be paid by November 30 as the window closed in September.

    The Rs.13,860 crore disclosure
  • Under the IDS, Mahesh Shah, voluntarily declared a whooping Rs.13,860 crore as unaccounted income on September 30, the last day of the scheme.

    Shah was required to pay the first installment of tax on declared income amounting to Rs.975 crore by November 30.

    The Income-Tax department carried out raids at premises of Shah and his relatives as well as at his chartered accountant's office who filed the declaration on his behalf.

    Shah had by then absconded and was untraceable.
