Man receives $3.14 lakh from redemption of Bermuda-focused fund; Income Tax Dept considers it black money, imposes Rs 1.8 crore penalty and tax, but he wins case in ITAT Delhi

Mr Bhowmick, a resident of DLF Magnolias on Golf Course Road, in Gurgaon, Haryana, India made an investment of about USD 3 lakh in a Bermuda-focussed global investment fund while he was in Singapore. He invested this sum on May 19, 2015, and cashed it out on March 16, 2016 and got USD 3.14 lakh (3,14,608.15) upon redemption.
