Your Excellency,

Subject : - Extortion of taxes from my wife and children using methods of coercion and intimidation running into LAKHS OF RUPEES


I have addressed a letter to Commissioner of Income Tax -Appeals (XVII) in Ahmedabad and the same is enclosed herewith .

I am sending a copy of my present email to Commissioner of Income Tax –Appeals (XVII) and the media . I would like to draw your attention that the Income tax department has used means of coercion , intimidation to extort substantial taxes from my family members and my children causing further disruption in family life. Kindly have a look at various letters to the Income tax department by visiting the link:
http://intad.blogspot.com


I am marking recent article in Indian Express BY Tavleensingh to apprise you of the intimidation methods being used by the GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS TO THREATEN PEOPLE . Kindly have a look at the article :-
http://iecolumnists.expressindia.com/full_column.php?content_id=57564

Kindly extend all your necessary support to the Commissioner of Income Tax- (XVII) who may be reluctant to expose the concerned officers of the income tax department as well as the connected tax advocate and chartered accountants as well as the great bank robber -Mr. Sushil Handa in the interest of revenue, as the department wants to protect the great bank robber company and their associates while harassing informant-cum -whistleblower that is the undersigned.


Under no circumstances, you can turn a blind eye to such events. My complaint letter to the Central Vigilance Commission dated 3-6-2002 is still pending and is annexed in the link: http://www.intad.blogspot.com

YOUR SILENCE WOULD BE CONSTRUED THAT YOU PERSONALLY APPROVE THE CONDUCT OF REVENUE DEPARTMENT TO RAPE THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTRY FINANCIALLY. I EXPECT RENOWNED JEEHANGARI JUSTICE BEING GIVEN TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

SIR, NOW YOU DECIDE WHETHER THE TAX OFFICIALS NEED TO HAVE SAME TREATMENT OF DHANAJAY OR NOT !!!!

SIR, CAN EVER CITIZENS AND CHILDREN OF INDIA- SING A SONG OF INDIA!!!.

IS THIS THE WAY OF RESPECTING THE INFORMANT –CUM – WHISTLEBLOWER LIKE ME , BEING SUBJECTED TO POLICE REMAND BY EMPLOYEES OF CORE HEALTH CARE ??- WHEN I INSPITE OF ALL ODDS MAKE ATTEMPT TO EXPOSE GLOBAL TRUST BANK AND THE EMPLOYEES OF GREAT BANK ROBBER COMPANY??

OSTRITCH SINKS THEIR HEAD IN SANDS -- A TRUE COMMANDER TO PROTECT CITIZENS COMES OUT IN AN OPEN ARENA BEFORE CITIZENS. THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE VULTURES LIKE VEERAPANS, GREAT BANK ROBBERS LIKE HANDA, TELGI AND AJAVANI , RAMESH GELLI, KETAN PAREKH ARE NOT ADEQUATELY PUNISHED IMMEDIATELY.

THERE IS A SAYING THAT – A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE. I hope that you are able to really understand what I mean.

IT IS NECESSARY THAT YOU NEED TO PERSONALLY CONDUCT INVESTIGATION AS REGARDS TO STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE INCOME TAX DEPARTMNET SO THAT THE FAMILIES ARE NOT HARASSED UNNECESSARILY. IT WOULD BE FUTILE TO DEPEND ON CENTRAL VIGILANCE COMMISSION OR CENTRAL BOARD OF DIRECT TAXES OR FINANCE MINISTRY AT ALL.


Yours most respectfully,


Pankaj S Mody

The Commissioner of Income Tax-Appeals (XVII)Nature View Building
Near H K House
Ashram Road
Ahmedabad

Respected Sir,

Sub: the appeals pending before you as regards to personal as well as HUF for the assessment year 96-97 and 97-98 fixed for hearing on 26-10-2 004
Reference :- my earlier correspondence letters dated 18-08-2004 and 24-02-2004 .


1. This is in reference to above the hearing fixed on 26-10-2004.
2. I am unable to take out some of the relevant files as the residence of my my parents is closed as my mother is being operated . Hence, kindly grant a fresh date after two weeks as till then I would not be able to appear before you.
3. In light of my above letter dated 18-08-2004 , I once again humbly request you to arrange for appellate orders passed in case of my wife Mrs S. P. Mody and my children as the facts and circumstances of the case are identical and my family members are not extending cooperation as informed to the department as well as to you during the discussions.
4. I fail to understand as to how the appellate orders have been passed without collecting necessary facts by collecting necessary documentary evidence and recording statement of Dhanyushya Financial , Jatin Jalundhwala, Mr. Saurabh Soparkar, Mr. Hemant Kashiparekh and M/s Shah and Shah Associates especially when my family members had specifically requested the –then assessing officer. It is absolutely clear that some one from the department is protecting these persons even if it results in loss of revenue from these persons/companies/tax advocates/chartered accountants.
5. You would appreciate that , the department needs to extend full cooperation as I am the one who is the informant-cum- whistleblower of tax evasion and it is necessary that all the facts and documentary evidence are furnished to me in view of natural justice, equity and good conscience.
6. Human consideration and approach need to be followed by the income tax department as under no circumstances the right to information can be denied to me in a democratic country as it unnecessarily involves cost of litigation, hardship to the assessee and this is nothing but barbaric methods being employed in a civilized society to use methods of coercion to extract taxes by hook and crook from the citizens of the country.
7. In case you are facing some hurdles , it would be better that you write top Prime Minister of India and make representation to him that the circumstances require to have transparent approach even if it may involve exposing the misconduct of the officials involved in the assessment as well that of Investigation department. It is natural to expect such respect and conduct from the top officials of the Income tax department.
8. As the assessing officer and his peers as well as his superiors has used means of coercion to extort taxes from my family members on my complaint against some of the senior officers of the department to the Central Vigilance Commission , I do not have any option but to mark a copy of my present letter to the President of India presidentofindia@rb.nic.in as well as to the well known columnist of Indian Express Tavleen Singh at tavleensingh@expressindia.com
9. In the wider and broader interest of revenue , it is necessary that you call for complete documentary evidence from Mr. Jatin Jalundhwala , Mr. Hemant kahiparekh , Mr. Saurabh Soparkar and M/s Shah and Shah Associates without any further delay.
10. You may have a look at some of the correspondence with the income tax department by visiting site http://www.intad.blogspot.com and excerpt of book published by media which deals with the state of affairs in the income tax department as referred in the link http://www.redtrapism.blogspot.com
11. I look forward to your whole hearted support and cooperation and I would prefer reply to my email address as I do not have any correspondence address for about a fortnight as my parents would not be available at the above residence so that they can inform me.

YOURS sincerely,

Pankaj S Mody

Central Bureau of Intimidation
Two weeks ago in this column I wrote about corruption in agencies that are supposed to be the Government’s economic policemen. The article was inspired by the arrest of Mumbai’s corrupt Central Excise Commissioner, Shri P K Ajwani. He who was found with a couple of crores lying around in cash in his apartment.

C.B.Ithe main fear C.B.I has that the such vigilance audits as suggested by Tavleen singh may even expose that many of the 32000 crores may have actually been siphoned by the past and present members of this so called honest, hardworking and dedicated agency. But for people like Tavleen we would continue living in a world where no body wishes to point that the emperor wears no clothes.

This government has to act I admire her courage and what CBI has printed is a typical eyewash; why they have not laid there hands on persons who created thousands of crores of scams in previous regime like UTI scam, NHAI scam, Balco scam, etc., the CBI as well as every aware citizen of this country was watching the ruckus in parliament in 2001; then PM's troika was not only accused by congress, left but even by their own allies in power. Is it not amazing even after change of government the same parties like congress and left are under selective amnesia and take futile steps like sacking anupam kher and removing consultants from planning commission. If this country with the present quality of highest integrity of the president and prime minister cannot show a determination to change/ stop all this loot then probably there is no hope for this country. The government should crackdown on all such scamsters and looters and attach/ auction their properties, believe me the there would be quantum jump in GDP of this country. But the big question remains whether this government has the guts to take some drastic steps or else the nagpur model of self justice against all goons would be adopted everywhere.

Central Bureau of IntimidationBravo Tavleen! Carry on with YOUR crusade against the corrupt sharks! Real job of a journ is to inform the masses with all fire and indefatigble-courage. Corruption-hoarded money is so big that if un-earthed,nation might execute biggest projects,for greater benefits of our poverty stricken people.Who would handle such a colossal-excercise as it involves a bigger amount of courage,honesty,dedication,commitment and patriotic zeal for the nation.Let there be ONE such person,to show the light in this gloomy situation.CBI-itself is"corruption-centralized bureau"and it conducts"sharade of investigations"to catch-victims,who would dole out part of un-accounted wealth,to their officers.CBI was in full news about Bofors-fresh material evidence against Sonia.What happened to that"Fresh evidence"after Sonia became UPA,chairperson?Who is going to hunt for/deliver the crores that Veerappa had amassed?UPA-ministers,like Laloo/others have mountain loads of wealth-who is going to hunt for that?Jab barr-khet ko khanne lage,toe khet ko koun bechaey"! MM is too soft to handle all such problems.He holds no portfolio,as the UPA bickering/CPM's intimidatory tactics, keep him on his toes all the time!

Admiration with a bit of critics.I do admire the courage of Ms.Tavleen Singh when she writes about the corruption which takes place at many levels in India.I also agree that it is a good thing to pin point the appropriate authorities to take firm action against the culprits.But as a respectfull journalist,Ms.Tavleen Singh should also take to note the kind of stress a normal Indian Government employee goes trough,because when they do their job accurately (like Kiran Bedi did in the seventies) then also it becomes a problem,because the people from high levels start complaining against them as their Chache,Taya,Mamaji's son or uncle-in-law used to get arrested for committing crimes.Therefore,I request Ms.Singh to think about the honest officers who even risk their lives in order to safeguard ours,and remember that not everyone is corrupted.The best way is to highlight the good achievements and point a finger trough objective journalism instead of becoming personal.Though from the bottom of my heart, I admire Ms.Tavleen Singhs courage,but I may also add that personal attacks could have been avoided in this article.Thank you and please do keep up the good work.
