    India’s External debt Stood at US$ 326.6 billion at End-September 2011; an increase of 6.6 per cent over the Level of US$ 306.4 billion at End-March 2011.
    Show AI Summary
    External debt growth driven by commercial borrowings raises currency risk and increases short-term debt exposure relative to reserves.
    India's external debt rose to US$ 326.6 billion at end-September 2011, driven mainly by increases in external commercial borrowings, export credits and short-term debt. Short-term debt accounted for 21.9% of total external debt while external commercial borrowings were the largest component, followed by NRI deposits and multilateral debt. The currency mix was dominated by the US dollar, and the rise in commercial borrowings heightens currency risk because rupee depreciation raises rupee-denominated debt service for corporate borrowers. Foreign exchange reserves provided substantial but slightly reduced coverage of total external debt, and the share of concessional debt declined.

    Tax enforcement is targeted and based on credible intelligence, with intrusive searches used only when justified by verification.
    Tax enforcement activity under the Income Tax Act is targeted and based on specific credible information and prior verification rather than indiscriminate action. The Department employs information technology tools to select cases unobtrusively and to verify intelligence before intrusive measures; search and seizure and survey operations therefore respond to detected tax evasion and significant undeclared income.
