Summary Of All Scams in India

There is a profile on Facebook: India Against Corruption. You can find all detailed pics of scams. All funny cartoons of Sonia,MMS etc. Its worth visiting that profile.
 
To add to this is another scam being unearthed by CAG - Oil ministry allowed 'gold-plating' of the development costs of Reliance KG fields.

Now, The Oil Stain
By exposing its lesser arm, is the petromin hiding bigger sins?

  • Murli Deora, who as petroleum minister sought the CAG audit and sanctioned a CVC probe, offers to quit his ministerial post
  • CBI action reinforces CAG draft report findings blaming DGH for oversight in implementation of production-sharing contracts
  • Unease in market, as yet another CBI probe into charges of DGH having favoured RIL in its exploration activities is under way
  • Petroleum ministry is keen to increase DGH strength, expertise to match exploration needs
***​
The shadow-boxing is well and truly on. Is the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raid on the premises of seven former officials of the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), a technical advisory arm of the petroleum ministry, a canny red herring meant to deflect attention from the larger issues ailing the petroleum sector? Many experts subscribe to this view, warning that the level of scams waiting to be unearthed in the petroleum sector will put the 2G-spectrum scam in the pale. “I fear that the CBI action at this juncture may be politically convenient to take attention away from uncomfortable issues and focus on DGH lapses,” a former top bureaucrat says, rather candidly.

If the leaked draft report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on the “irregularities” in India’s exploration activities raised dust, the CBI action on similar charges heightens the expectation that more muck—rather than oil and gas, metaphorically speaking—will be produced in the days ahead. Already, the pressure is building up, with former petroleum minister Murli Deora indicating to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi his desire to step down as corporate affairs minister. “I did not understand gold-plating or know of any DGH role in it,” Deora tells Outlook. “You don’t expect a politician to know everything, especially technical details. In these matters, you go by the guidance of the ministry officials.” The present focus on the functioning of an arm of the petroleum ministry—an important one, no doubt—does appear to be an attempt to localise future blame at the door of V.K. Sibal, who was in charge of the DGH from 2004-09. While Sibal is no saint—he is currently under investigation in another case for favouring Reliance Industries (RIL)—experts smell a rat. Were the CBI raids carefully timed to shift focus to Sibal and his team even as the petroleum ministry and the private sector exploration biggies are preparing their defence to critique the CAG draft report?

दस साल में 260 गुना बढ़ा भ्रष्*टाचार, 1555 हजार करोड़ स्*वाहा

बीते एक दशक में देश में 1555 हजार करोड़ रुपए भ्रष्टाचार की भेंट चढ़ गए हैं। इसमें से बड़ी राशि को अवैध रूप से देश से बाहर पहुंचा दिया गया है। इंडियाफोरेंसिक नामक संस्था की इस रिपोर्ट के अनुसार 2009 में औसतन एक व्यक्ति ने भ्रष्टाचार पर 2000 रुपए खर्च किए। 10 साल पहले के मुकाबले यह आंकड़ा 260 गुना ज्यादा है।
‘एसरटेनिंग साइज आफ करप्शन इन इंडिया विद रेस्पेक्ट टू मनी लांडरिंग’ नामक इस रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, पिछले 2000 से 2009 के बीच में मनी लांडरिंग के द्वारा भारत से 1886 हजार करोड़ रुपए भारत से बाहर भेज दिया गया। जीडीपी के आधार पर यदि इस पैसे का आकलन किया जाए तो इसमें सबसे ज्यादा 1555 हजार करोड़ रुपए भ्रष्टाचार के जरिए आया। पुणो की संस्था इंडिया फोरेंसिक जालसाजी, सुरक्षा, जोखिम प्रबंधन जैसे कई मामलों में सीबीआई की मदद करती है।
कैसे किया अध्ययन : जोशी मॉडल पर आधारित यह रिपोर्ट प्रॉपर्टी रिकवरी, क्राइम और जीडीपी के आधार पर तैयार की गई। एंटी फ्रॉड और मनी लांडरिंग विशेषज्ञ मयूर जोशी का कहना है कि इन तीन मॉडल्स से पता चलता है कितना काला धन वैध हुआ। इसके आंकड़े नेशनल क्राइम रिकॉर्डस ब्यूरो (एनसीआबी) पर आधारित हैं। इंडिया फॉरेंसिक ने सत्यम घोटाले में सीबीआई को मदद दी थी।
तीन सौ पार्टियों ने आज तक नहीं भरा टैक्स रिटर्न
आयकर विभाग की जांच में खुलासा हुआ है कि देशभर की करीब 300 पंजीकृत राजनीतिक पार्टियों ने आजतक कभी भी अपना आयकर रिटर्न दाखिल नहीं किया। इस खुलासे के बाद चुनाव आयोग ने विभाग को इन पार्टियों को नोटिस जारी करने को कहा है।

UP babus loot Rs3,700cr rural health funds

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...cr-rural-health-funds/articleshow/9290175.cms

The fact that that most of the activities were supposed to be of 'urgent' nature and didn't involve the tender process made the job easier. A central team that visited in May for a random check after CMO (family welfare) Dr BP Singh's murder, found that between 2009 and 2011, contracts worth over Rs 600 crore were given without tender.

When bribery became official in India

It is now on record that the Congress has a history of paying money -- call it 'donations' for 'cooperation' if you like -- to MPs from the Opposition benches, says T V R Shenoy.

Take your calendar, and draw a huge red circle around the twelfth of September, 2011. This, you see, is the date that bribery became official in India..

The headlines were all about Amar Singh and the 'Notes for Votes' scandal that pulled the Manmohan Singh ministry through a vote of confidence on July 22, 2008. This, in the unlikely event that anyone has forgotten, was the one where BJP MPs exhibited the crores of rupees allegedly paid to them to vote for the Congress-led government. But this was only the second instance where such a thing had happened. The first such case came on July 28, 1993, when the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha decided to support the P V Narasimha Rao ministry. (What is it about July and bribery scandals in Parliament?) Rumours of crores of rupees changing hands forced investigations, and four MPs -- Shibu Soren, Suraj Mandal, Simon Marandi, and Shailendra Mahto -- were named in the scandal, along with Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao and Buta Singh.


Following several twists and turns the case ended with a Supreme Court ruling on April 17, 1998 that MPs could not be prosecuted for their actions in Parliament. (Justice S C Agrawal and Justice A S Anand dissented from the majority opinion given by Justice S P Bharucha and Justice S Rajendra Babu, with a separate concurrence by Justice G N Ray.) The reverberations of that judgment are still echoing, but let us leave them aside for the moment, and discuss a smaller detail -- the money that was paid to the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha members.


The tax authorities found unaccounted money in the Punjab National Bank's [ Get Quote ] Nauroji Nagar branch in New Delhi [ Images ]. This cash turned out to be in the name of the four Jharkhand Mukti Morcha MPs mentioned above. The income tax department insisted that the quartet should pay tax on this, upon which the four approached the income tax appellate tribunal for relief.

Staggeringly, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leaders calmly accepted that they had received money from the Congress. But, according to them, this was a voluntary donation by the Congress of Rs 1.02 crore (Rs 10.2 million) 'for the cause espoused by the party and for the welfare of the people of Jharkhand,' and that 'this amount was deposited in the bank accounts in the name of executives functioning for JMM party for the reason that the party can function in that area through its office bearers.' This 'donated' amount, they claimed, could not be taxed even if the bank accounts were in the names of certain individuals rather than that of their party.


'The JMM and Congress had agreed to cooperate with each other. The Congress party approached the JMM party to help it in the national interest and not to vote against the Narasimha Rao government in Parliament,' was how one of their lawyers summed it up.


R P Tolani and A K Garodia of the income tax appellate tribunal accepted this argument, waiving both the tax and the penalty demanded by the assessment officer in 1997.

To quote from the 37-page ruling: 'We have held that no addition is justified in the present case, either in respect of deposits in various bank accounts with PNB Noroji Nagar, New Delhi or various other additions made by the AO [assessment officer], which are not relatable to any evidence found in course of search... We are of the considered opinion that no adjudication is called for regarding various other contentions raised by the learned advocate regarding non existence of search, or non validity of search for the reason that there is no panchnama or that there is no notice issued by the AO u/s 143(2) after filing of block return etc... We do not decide these aspects because now these aspects are of academic interest only once it is held by us that no addition made by the AO in the present cases is sustainable. We, therefore, do not decide these aspects. In the result, all these four appeals filed by these four individual assesses are allowed in the terms indicated above.'


So, where does this leave us? If you take the Supreme Court judgment to its logical conclusion no member of Parliament may be prosecuted for accepting a bribe. Following the income tax appellate tribunal's decision one cannot even claim to tax the bribe money if it is classified as a 'donation', least of all one made 'in the national interest.'

One fact, however, stands out clearly amidst the ruins of the case against the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha quartet. It is now on record that the Congress has a history of paying money -- call it 'donations' for 'cooperation' if you like -- to MPs from the Opposition benches.


Here is a second fact, namely that while the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha MPs might have taken money, the actual beneficiary in that instance was the Congress, which kept its government going in Delhi for three more years.


Let us keep both these facts in mind when considering the 'Notes for Votes' scandal of 2008. Let us also bear in mind what the MP for Rampur, P Jaya Prada Nahata, said on September 8 about Amar Singh being sent to Tihar jail. The actress-turned-politician warned that many 'beneficiaries' would be in trouble if her mentor opened his mouth. 'He is not the beneficiary (of the vote of confidence), there are others,' she announced. Who can question her logic?


I cannot end without sharing this tidbit. Investigators on the money trail found that at least part of the 'donation' had been flown to Delhi from Karnataka , with some bundles carrying the regulation slips identifying as being from a Bengaluru branch of Canara Bank.

But the suitcases designated for this delicate task of 'cooperation' were so fragile that they broke at Delhi's airport!
So who was the chief minister of Karnataka back then? Not to insinuate that he was involved in anything so shoddy, of course!

I would like to add one more scam of 1.20 lakh crore which went unnoticed or may have not grabbed much of the public attention. But very interesting :

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/govts-next-cag-headache-mega-losses-in-power-deal/861912/0

Govt’s next CAG headache: ‘Mega losses in power deal’



he Comptroller and Auditor General has alleged that the union power ministry gave “undue benefit” of Rs 1.20 lakh crore — calculated over the next 25 years — to Reliance Power Ltd (RPL) in the ultra mega power projects (UMPPs) at Sasan in Madhya Pradesh and Tilaiya in Jharkhand.

In its report sent to the power ministry last month, the CAG has argued that the government did so by changing coal licence norms to allow RPL to divert this surplus coal to its other power projects.These concessions, the CAG report says, because they came after the execution of the contract agreements, “vitiated the sanctity” of the bidding process.And resulted in a benefit over 25 years to RPL of Rs 42,009 crore from the Sasan project and Rs 78,078 crore from the Tilaiya project.These numbers were arrived at by using the differential cost between the market rate fixed by state-run Coal India Ltd and the proportionate extraction cost of the extra coal from the captive coalmine.
 
Pulses scam: Babus unable to explain Rs 1,200cr loss

NEW DELHI: The government has been unable to explain why public sector firms imported pulses at a loss of 21%-30% a year from 2006 to 2011 adding up to Rs 1,200 crore, while private importers did not appear to have suffered such a misfortune.

Questioned by Parliament's ​
Public Accounts Committee
about the " ​
pulses scam
" revealed in a​
Comptroller and Auditor General
report, senior commerce and consumer affairs officials has no answers about the discrepancy between loss-making government importers and private concerns.

About one-third of India's pulse imports are sourced by government concerns like Nafed which then tender the legumes on arrival, a process that has apparently benefitted a clutch of four to five private parties. Despite government subsidies, prices have remained high while some private interests profited.

Panel members asked commerce secretary Rahul Khullar and consumer affairs secretary Rajiv Aggarwal why the government had been hit by a double whammy having to pay subsidies while the professed objective of controlling prices and offering relief to consumers was not achieved.

The Opposition has demanded an explanation for the irregularities that date to agriculture minister Sharad Pawar's stewardship of the food and public distribution ministry and the Central Bureau of Investigation has begun an inquiry.

The official auditor said the ministry failed to oversee import of pulses and that there was no well-planned strategy to ensure their efficient distribution. Instead of the government distributing low-cost imported pulses, private firms were given the imported consignments through questionable tenders.

State-owned trading agencies imported 30.04 lakh tonnes and sold 26.95 lakh tonnes of pulses and the CAG has said prices offered by bidders were substantially lower than the import prices paid. This meant that pulses were sold at substantial losses.

A loss to the tune of about Rs 900 crore was incurred on account of yellow peas that continued to be imported despite negligible demand.
