Funds parked by Indian individuals and firms in Swiss banks, including through India-based branches and other financial institutions, jumped to 2.55 billion Swiss francs (over Rs 20,700 crore) in 2020 on a sharp surge in holdings via securities and similar instruments, though customer deposits fell, annual data from Switzerland's central bank showed on Thursday.

The increase in aggregate funds of Indian clients with Swiss banks, from 899 million Swiss francs (Rs 6,625 crore) at the end of 2019, reverses a two-year declining trend and has taken the figure to the highest level in 13 years.

It stood at a record high of nearly 6.5 billion Swiss francs in 2006, after which it has been mostly on a downward path, except for a few years including in 2011, 2013 and 2017, as per the Swiss National Bank (SNB) data.

The total amount of CHF 2,554.7 million (Rs 20,706 crore), described by the SNB as 'total liabilities' of Swiss banks or 'amounts due to' their Indian clients at the end of 2020, included CHF 503.9 million (over Rs 4,000 crore) in customer deposits, CHF 383 million (over Rs 3,100 crore) held via other banks, CHF 2 million (Rs 16.5 crore) through fiduciaries or trusts and the highest component of CHF 1,664.8 million (nearly Rs 13,500 crore) as 'other amounts due to customers' in form of bonds, securities and various other financial instruments.

If that is not a black money then money stored under UPA was also not  black money, which makes fenku a big lier and all those allegations against congress a big hoax.

They are a bunch of hypocrites..  

Bhakt logic:

No…… As always Modiji and his government won't do anything wrong. Government is trying hard to keep the fuel price up for reducing pollution !!!!. How can u blame a government that is so forward thinking and smart. Another reason for keeping high price is infrastructure development .

 

If price is high then people use less fuel so there wont be any pollution for that reason the price is kept high . Wow what an idea sirji !!!!!.

It says Swiss banks - including their India branches and other financial institutions - which may include monies used for trading etc. Where does it say it is black money or money unaccounted for? Is there any additional information provided that goes further into this? 

 

I am not sure how based on this statement one can make a call either way?

 

From what I understand the previous issues were about monies in Switzerland only that noone else knew about.

I think in the excitement to propagate your existing anti-Modi bias you didn't read this bit

 

So the lions share of these deposits are from banks... Still not sure how this indicates that this money is black money

While the funds classified as 'customer account deposits' have actually declined from CHF 550 million at the end of 2019 and those through fiduciaries also more than halved from CHF 7.4 million, the money held via other banks rose sharply from CHF 88 million in this period.
