Mr. Ranina touched up on the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code and the issues concerning NPAs. He said that, through digitalisation the Income Tax Department of India now has huge data regarding the incomes and expenditures of each citizen and they are keeping a close eye on those who do not disclose their income.
