NEFT

The NEFT revolution

There used to be a time not very long ago, when sending money to another account in the same city or another city used to be a cumbersome process. It used to be like eternity before you could actually get the money to move.

Today it’s a matter of a few minutes or at the max an hour and you can get the money transferred. The reason: NEFT.

What is NEFT?

NEFT is an acronym for National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT). It is a nation­wide system, which helps individuals, firms and corporate to electronically transfer funds from any bank branch to any individual, firm or corporate having an account with any other bank branch in the country. Not all bank branches in the country are part of the NEFT funds transfer network. If a bank wants to be a part of the NEFT funds transfer network, a bank branch has to be NEFT-enabled.

Indian black money stashed away abroad

Indian black money stashed away abroad

What is the status of Indian black money stashed away abroad and what the government is doing to bring it back?

While official numbers are not available, Swiss banking officials have said that the largest depositors of illegal foreign money in Switzerland are Indian. In February 2012, CBI director A P Singh said: “It is estimated that around 500 billion dollars of illegal money belonging to Indians is deposited in tax havens abroad”.

In August 2010, the government revised the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) to provide means for investigations of black money in Swiss banks. This revision will allow the government to make inquiries of Swiss banks in cases where they have specific information about possible black money being stored in Switzerland.
