  Hon’ble Sirs,

  Kindly examine one Message I received from Mumbai, in response to my earlier 
message addressed to Swiss Banking Association. This is a surprising revelation 
that Government of India is not keen to know the names of the Indian Bank 
Holders, having Bank Accounts in Germany. If this message is correct, this is 
shame for our country’s governance.

  I hope and request to all of you that matter rose herein, would be examined 
with most importance and expeditious manner.

FYI:Another news... India silent on German Bank disclosure offer
Saturday May 10 2008 14:25 IST

CHENNAI: NEARLY three months ago, Germany obtained a list of account holders at 
a bank in Liechtenstein, a tiny Alpine principality that is also a tax haven.

The Germans offered the names to any country that asked for it. Curiously, 
India, with a history of black money stashed abroad, has shown no interest in 
the list; it still has not made a request for details.

On February 14, Deutsche Post CEO Klaus Zumwinkel was arrested in Berlin for 
Tax Evasion. His name was on a DVD that BND, Germany's intelligence agency, 
bought from a former bank employee of the LTG Group, run by Liechtenstein's 
ruling dynasty.

The disc had the names of 1,400 account holders of the LTG Group's Treuhand 
subsidiary. BND bought the list, dating from 2002, for Euros 4.2 million. Six 
hundred of the names lived in Germany, with a possible tax evasion of around 
Euros 5 billion; Berlin launched 125 tax investigations.

On February 25, German finance ministry spokesman Thorsten Albig announced that 
the names and details of the other 800 account holders would be given to their 
respective countries, at no extra cost.

All the countries had to do was ask for them. Finland, Norway and Sweden 
promptly asked. The USA, Australia, France, UK, Ireland, Italy, Canada, New 
Zealand and Spain subsequently put in requests. The Americans are now 
investigating 100 potential tax evaders on that list. Independently, the 
British stumbled onto information on 400 Italians with accounts at a
Liechtenstein bank, and leaked it to the media.

India, however, which has long tried to uncover details of bank accounts in 
Switzerland and St Kitts, has not made a request. It should be made by the 
finance ministry through the ministry of external affairs, for it is something 
that concerns the Central Board of Direct Taxes, the Directorate of Enforcement 
and the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Though the government is aware of the developments in Germany, till date, no 
request has gone, informed sources told this website's newspaper. Incidentally, 
Liechtenstein's Prince Hans-Adams II, the owner of the LTG group, has visited 
India, to a warm welcome by our political class.
