"We have seized currency notes over Rs 316 crore in raids, including Rs 80 crore in new notes. Besides, jewellery of Rs 76 crore has also been seized making for a total seizure of Rs 393 crore," added. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

The head of India's Income Tax Department said that 3,000 notices have been issued on the basis of their analysis of deposits made since demonetisation was announced last month. 

He cautioned those trying to launder black money that the tax authorities were checking all data on deposits made in banks after November 8 and having these scrutised by expert data analysts

"Assessees should know that simply depositing cash does not turn black money into white. The Department is checking everything," Chandra said. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions


The survey showed that the major modes of moneylendering included using cash for purchase of bullion and jewellery, backdated receipts for transactions, and deposits made into Jan Dhan accounts and in shell companies, he added.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
