Days before committing suicide, Yogesh Bansal, son of former director general of corporate affairs B K Bansal, had disclosed Rs 2.39 crore black money to Income Tax officials under the amnesty scheme.

The senior Bansal, facing a CBI probe in a corruption case, had also hanged himself along with Yogesh at their Neelkanth Apartment in Patparganj of East Delhi. CBI spokesperson R K Gaur said the agency had started an enquiry after a communication from Delhi police to probe allegations levelled by the father-son duo in their suicide notes that a CBI DIG and his three colleagues -- two women officers and a Havaldar - had tortured them and their family members, which led them to suicide. Bansal's wife and daughter were found hanging at their Patparganj residence in July.

CBI sources said Bansal had got bail on medical grounds and the fact that his son was suffering from depression. On September 22, Yogesh, who was not under the CBI radar so far, had made a surprise disclosure of his income to the Income Tax authorities, which he had not declared for the last seven years. The declaration amounted to over Rs 2.39 crore, said sources. Since 2010, Yogesh was filing IT returns every year but had not disclosed the income he shared with the IT authorities five days prior to giving up his life. Sources said, for 2010-2011, he had disclosed extra income of Rs 2.48 lakh for the current financial year, Rs 4.95 lakh.

On the undisclosed income, the IT department slapped 30% tax (Rs 71,75,005), and an additional 25% each as "surcharge" (Rs 17,93,751) and "penalty" (Rs 17 ,93,751). Adding tax, surcharge and penalty components to the concealed income, the total figure comes to Rs 3,46,79,193, said sources.

The central government had opened a window offering Income Declaration Scheme (IDS) under section 183 of the Finance Act to bring domestic black money into the tax net. The deadline for payment of tax and penalty in three instalments under the disclosure scheme which was extended in July, ends on September 30, 2017.
