Arun Jaitley's Rebuttal to Congress' Allegations of Amnesty Scheme For Black Money Holders


  • In 1997, P Chidambaram brought a scheme. When your leaders criticise, let us recall what happened in the past. An amnesty scheme in which people were asked to pay 30 per cent, pay at 1987 income rates.
  • Most declarants were women and children. The immediate effect was there was no tax buoyancy next year.
  • As of the market value today, we say, pay the tax plus a 50 per cent penalty. This is not an amnesty scheme.
  • So when you make comments on government's policies to get black money from abroad or compliance window etc. , I would say, please check your track record.
  • We need a cooperation of all political roots.
  • We are fighting a global economic crisis. You have been in power for a longer period than us.
