<h1>Government Lacks Separate Database for MNC Tax Demands; Special Measures Implemented for Recovery of Outstanding Rs. 75,509 Crore.</h1> The government does not maintain a separate database for outstanding tax demands against multinational companies (MNCs). As of April 1, 2009, the total outstanding demand against companies was Rs. 75,509 crore, with Rs. 9,748 crore recovered during the fiscal year 2009-10. The remaining demand is tied up in appeals or cannot be collected due to various legal constraints. To expedite recovery, special measures include monitoring large cases by a Task Force, urging early disposal of substantial appeals, and overseeing arrears above Rs. 10 crore by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and the Directorate of Income Tax (Recovery).
