IT dept sends Rs 30.67 crore notice to Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party

The Income Tax department on Monday slapped Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Admi Party (AAP) with a Rs 30.67 crore tax notice.

The IT department has reportedly pulled up the party for not recording full details of 462 donors who donated Rs 6 crore.

The party on Sunday marked the five-year anniversary and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched a broadside against the BJP, accusing it of 'polarising' the country, saying the saffron party has realised the goal of Pakistan of dividing the nation in just three years of its rule.

Without naming Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, Kejriwal said the AAP is 'not like a Napolean' whose intention is to win every state election, but its real purpose is to change the system.

Earlier this year, the IT department had issued a notice to AAP asking why it should not be prosecuted for alleged falsification of account books and 'wilful attempt' to evade tax on donations received by it.

The tax department had charged the party with not filing a 'true and correct' contribution report for donations received for the assessment year 2014-15 which have been found to be over Rs 30.08 crore after year-long investigations.
