New Delhi: The government on Friday gave one last chance to black money hoarders and asked them to come clean by March 2017 by paying 50 percent tax on bank deposits of junk currencies made post demonetisation.
The government however offered tax dodgers confidentially and immunity from prosecution under the new tax evasion amnesty scheme PMGKY which kicks-in from Saturday.
Declarations under new black money disclosure scheme will be kept confidential and information won't be used for prosecution, Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia said.
Not declaring the black money under the scheme now but showing it as income in the tax return form would lead to a total levy of 77.25 per cent in taxes and penalty, he informed.
He further said that a new email ID has also been created for people to give information on black money to tax authorities.
People can directly contact the dept with info about possible conversion of black money at email address:
