Sleepless nights is right but for whom is the BIG Q!!!!:decision:

Chaired by the Central Board of Direct Taxes chairman Atulesh Jindal and attended by officials from the investigative unit of the CBDT and its Foreign Tax and Tax Research division, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the meeting decided that the probe should focus on the legitimacy of each transaction that has come to light and the legality of the route taken to set up the offshore entities. The act of investing abroad may not be a crime per se, but the route which was taken for the transaction, whether hawala or evasion of tax in India, needs to be looked into,” a government official said.
