₹70,000 crore in black money detected: SC-appointed SIT


Justice (retd) Arijit Pasayat, deputy chairman of the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigating Team (SIT) on black money, on Thursday disclosed that so far around ₹70,000 crore had been detected in black money, including over ₹16,000 crore by Indians stashing funds abroad.
After a meeting with officers of several government agencies dealing with economic and financial affairs here, Justice Pasayat said the SIT would submit its sixth interim report to the Supreme Court in the first week of April.
He said the SIT during the past two years had made several recommendations through its interim reports to the apex court to check the generation and tap the black money at source. “While most of our recommendations have been accepted by the government, some are under active consideration”, he said.

Cash holding

“One of our proposals, on cash holding of ₹15 lakh or above to be presumed as undisclosed, is under serious consideration of the Central government”, Justice Pasayat said, adding that on our recommendation, the government has already declared that cash transaction beyond ₹3 lakh to be treated as illegal and punishable under law.
On Odisha-specific economic offences and unearthing of black money, Justice Pasayat said the meeting was specifically convened to ensure a smooth coordination between all investigating agencies for easy detection of ill-gotten money.
He said he has asked the State crime branch, investigating into various wrongdoings of private educational institutions, jewellery shops, real estate companies, self-styled godmen, mafia dons, to share their findings with income tax (IT) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) sleuths for a thorough probe.

Trump administration lifts transgender bathroom guidance The  Trump administration  has ended federal protections for transgender students  that instructed schools to allow them to use bathrooms and locker rooms matching their  gender identities . Stepping into an emotional national debate, the administration yesterday came down on the side of states' rights, lifting federal guidelines that had been issued by the Obama administration and characterized by Republicans as a legal overreach. Without the Obama directive, it will be up to states and school districts to interpret federal anti-discrimination law and determine whether students should have access to restrooms in accordance with their expressed gender identity and not just their biological sex. "This is an issue best solved at the state and local level," Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said. "Schools, communities and families can find a" and in many cases have found solutions that protect all students.
