The window for the declaration is complete by September 30th. 64275 People have come forward and disclosed 65250 Crore. This may bring about 30000 Crore as Tax for the Central Government. It may be observed that it is One Crore per declaration. That means Modi government managed to catch the small fish while the big whales seem to have stayed away.

It has to be seen how the government tackles with whales now. Interestingly, our Hyderabad had topped in the maximum declarations in the country, more than the other metros in the country. It is said that one individual from Hyderabad came up in the last minute and disclosed Black Money of more than 10000 Crore.
