Tax evasion: HC questions I-T dept's move seeking to prosecute Anil Ambani

The Bombay High Court on Monday questioned the Income Tax department's move seeking to prosecute Reliance ADAG chairman Anil Ambani under the Black Money Act for alleged tax evasion, and asked how Acts criminalising certain action can have a retrospective effect. A division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and S G Dige, while hearing a petition by Ambani challenging a show cause notice issued to him by the I-T department, asked how a person conducting himself or herself in a certain manner will know what the government is going to do in future. The high court posted the matter for hearing on February 20 and extended its September 2022 order directing the I-T department to not take any coercive action against Ambani till then. The I-T department had issued a notice to Ambani on August 8, 2022, for allegedly evading Rs 420 crore in taxes on undisclosed funds worth more than Rs 814 crore held in two Swiss bank accounts. As per the department's notice, Ambani was liable to be prosecuted

Mukesh Ambani completes 20 years at helm of Reliance Industries

Mukesh Ambani, who took over the reins of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) after the sudden demise of his legendary industrialist father Dhirubhai Ambani, completes 20 years at the helm during which the company saw a 17-fold jump in revenues, 20-times surge in profit and has become a global conglomerate. Following Dhirubhai's death in 2002, Mukesh and his younger brother Anil assumed joint leadership of Reliance. While the elder brother took over as the chairman and managing director, Anil was named vice chairman and joint managing director. The brothers, however, feuded over control, leading to a split with Mukesh assuming control of the gas, oil, and petrochemicals units as RIL, while Anil got telecommunications, power generation, and financial services units through a demerger. In 20 years that Stanford University-drop out Mukesh, 65, has been at the helm of RIL, the company has re-entered the telecom business, diversified in retail and new energy, and raised a record Rs 2.5 lakh ..
