<h1>CBDT's Operation Clean Money Targets Black Money with E-Verification and Data Analytics to Identify Suspicious Cash Transactions.</h1> The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) launched Operation Clean Money on January 31, 2017, to tackle black money by leveraging technology for e-verification of cash deposits during the demonetization period. The operation's first phase identified 17.92 lakh individuals with suspicious cash transactions, prompting online responses from 9.46 lakh people. Advanced data analytics identified high-risk individuals for further investigation, focusing on excessive cash sales, large deposits by government employees, and high-value purchases. Over 2,362 enforcement actions led to significant seizures and detection of undisclosed income. The initiative aims to widen the tax base and curb black money generation in India.
