There Is No Such Estimate

"

The Union finance ministry has said there is no estimate of the total black money Indians have stashed abroad in reply to a Right to Information Act query.
The BJP had ratcheted up the black money debate before last year's general election and bringing back the illicit cash was an important campaign plank for the party that swept to power.

The RTI query on whether there was one estimate or separate estimates of different departments by former central information commissioner Shailesh Gandhi was sent to the PM's Office in December last year. The PMO sent the question to the finance ministry, whose reply was received on January 8. Gandhi said the one-liner read: "There is no such estimate."
