The SIT, headed by retired Supreme Court judge M B Shah with justice (retd) Arijit Pasayat as its Vice-Chairman, had promised to create such a public window sometime back and it has given assurance to keep the name of the provider confidential.
"Persons (individuals, associations, NGOs or any other entity) having specific information about any "resident" of India (Individual, HUF, Association of Persons, Company, Trust, Body of individuals, Firm, etc) having illegal assets or undisclosed accounts located in foreign countries in any manner may furnish such information to the SIT in the attached proforma," the high-powered panel said.
