NEW DELHI: Indian money in Swiss banks has come down by 80 per cent under the Modi Govt contrary to media reports of it increasing by 50 per cent in 2017, top government sources said on Tuesday.
The sources said that the Swiss banks' data that was made public has been "misinterpreted" by the media, adding that it includes 'non-deposit liabilities', 'business of Swiss branches located in India', 'inter bank transaction' and 'fiduciary liability'.
They also said that in a letter to the Finance Minister Piyush Goyal, Swiss ambassador Andreas Baum said, "it is frequently assumed that any assets held by Indian Residents in Switzerland are undeclared (black money)".
