Geneva Branch Of Hsbc

Assuring action on black money, government today said HSBC whistleblower Herve Falciani should share information "without pre-conditions", a day after he expressed willingness to cooperate with probe agencies but stressed that he would need "protection".

India has gotten a little closer to getting information on more than 600 accounts involving Indian citizens and companies at HSBC's Geneva branch in 2008; the government wants to investigate if some of these were used to park untaxed or black money.

The Income Tax department, probing the secret list of account holders in the Geneva branch of HSBC bank, has approached Swiss revenue authorities for banking data of certain individuals after investigations showed some of them reportedly had other accounts under fictitious names.
