Puttaparthi (Andhra Pradesh): With questions being raised over its activities, the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust on Tuesday said the over Rs 35 lakh seized recently was money given by a devotee for a consultant tasked with construction of a memorial for Sai Baba.

Refuting any wrongdoings, it said financial transparency is being strictly followed while running the body.

SSSCT Trustee V Srinivasan, addressing a press conference here, said the trust has filed all statutory returns and donations received from devotees have been duly deposited to banks in a transparent manner.

He said the trust has already paid Rs 9.75 crore as income tax without any demand by the concerned authorities and decided to pay necessary tax on all its inventories.

On the seizure of over Rs 35 lakh in cash from a vehicle in Puttaparthi town, he said the trust had appointed a consultant for construction of a "Maha Samadhi" as a memorial for Satya Sai Baba and the amount offered by a devotee was handed over to the consultant for the project.
