New Delhi, September 18
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) today said income tax sleuths had allegedly found that actor Sonu Sood and his associates evaded tax worth Rs 20 crore and violated FCRA norms in receiving overseas funds to the tune of Rs 2.1 crore.
The CBDT claimed after raids at his premises and a Lucknow-based group, the officials found he routed his “unaccounted income in the form of bogus unsecured loans from many bogus entities”.
The department also alleged that Sood violated the FCRA norms while raising Rs 2.1 crore donations from abroad for the NGO linked with him. — TNS
