Shell Cos: I-T Dept to File Pleas in NCLT to Recover Tax Dues

 Shell Cos: I-T Dept to File Pleas in NCLT to Recover Tax Dues
The income-tax department is an “aggrieved creditor” to many deregistered shell companies and will petition the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to recover tax dues of crores of rupees. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has directed the I-T department to form a special team of officers to complete the task of filing these petitions in various NCLT benches across the country by this month-end, and has written to the ministry of corporate affairs seeking its help.
The CBDT, the policymaking body for the department, is concerned over crores of rupees of its “legitimate” taxes being stuck, after these shell firms were deregistered by the government in the recent past as part of its drive against black money and fraud business operations.
PTI has accessed a letter written recently by the CBDT to all its regional chiefs stating that the tax department is an “aggrieved creditor” vis-a-vis these struckoff shell companies and the taxman should hence undertake all efforts to file these petitions to get its dues from them.
“A good amount of information is already in the possession of the department in this context and this will be finalised once the entire data is compiled by the deadline of May 31,” a senior official said

Data storage norm splits digital payments industry  India’s nascent digital payment industry could be thrown into disarray due to the demand by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that all user data be stored within the country, fears an industry grouping, which has termed the decision as “heavy-handed”, even as others, including the country’s largest digital payment provider Paytm, have hailed the move.  In a bid to narrow the growing schism, the industry is planning to send a formal representation to the regulator highlighting its concerns, a top official told ET.  “We are trying to build a consensus on the issue," said the person adding that the representation to the central bank will be ready this week.  RBI on April 6, mandated all payment companies—global and local—to set up data storage facilities within India by October.
