SHAME LIST TO FIGURE `1-CR TAX DEFAULTERS

New Delhi, Aug. 29: As part of its ‘naming and shaming’ policy to curb tax evasion, the incometax department may soon go on to publish names of even those taxpayers who have a ‘chronic’ default of `1 crore and above.

Earlier, the department had included in the shame list people with huge defaults to the tune of about `10-20 crore. Last year, it had published the names of 67 such big defaulters across the country.

“The names will be published before July 31 next year,” the CBDT had earlier said. — PTI
