INDIA,SWITZERLAND sign pact to swap bank info :-
Now india is ready to demolish black money.India has done
well to sign a pact with Switzerland for automatic exchange of information(AEOI)
to access details on Indians hiddi ng their money in SWISS BANK.Both countries
will adopt rules prescribed by the Organisational for economic Co-operation and
development (OECD) to obtain and share financial information ,helping established audit trails.AEOI will be implemented based on Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA)
which is based on the international standard for the exchange of information
developed by the OEC D.
AEOI is powerful tool
to identify early enough undesirable
trends in cross-border transaction and can be helpful in identifying errant
taxpayers and certain schemes to take remedial action through enforcement and
policy intervention.
Switzerland used to
be known for very strong secrecy walls till a few years ago around its banking
practices.A huge global pressure has resulted in Switzerland relenting on the
tough secrecy clauses it’s local laws gave to the banks.Several information
requests on details about Indians who had accounts in Swiss bank are pending.
All Swiss accounts are not illegitimate and holders of
legitimate accounts with tax-compliant deposits should be harassed.India also
has obligation to maintain confidentiality as it has made a specifi c
commitment that information exchanged will only be used for tax purpose with
Switzerland.
Prime minister SRI NARENDRA MODI has stared a surgical strike on black money wheather DEMONITIZATION has affected to stabilise Indian economy.
