The money, pumped in by the UPA and then the NDA governments, has been given to recapitalise the banks, that is, to make good the losses they have made by giving loans to industry that have turned into NPAs.
An alleged TDS scam worth Rs 3,200 crore has been uncovered by the income tax department in case of 447 companies, The Times of India reported. The companies are alleged to have diverted the tax deducted from its employees towards their business operations. The warrants have been issued by the alleged offenders by the TDS (tax deducted at source) wing of the income tax department in a  few cases, The Times of India reported citing unidentified sources.
