Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee
speaking about the Finance Bill in Parliament said that, "India cannot
be allowed to become a tax haven just to attract foreign investment."
"Legislature
has right to amend laws to correct Supreme Court judgement. India not
inferior to any other country in respect of having retrospective changes
in tax laws," added the finance minister.
Promising to table a White Paper on black money by the end of the current session, the Minister said, three institutions were assessing the estimates of such funds and the reports are expected by July-August.
While
responding to BJP leader L K Advani's queries on disclosing names of
those who had stashed black money abroad, Mukherjee said, the government
would disclose them only when prosecution is launched by tax
authorities.
