Abhishek Manu Singhvi is an Indian political leader who started his political career in 1997 as Additional Solicitor General of India. He has also been the spokesperson of the Indian National Congress. Currently, Abhishek Manu Singh viis representing Rajasthan in the upper of Indian Parliament known as Rajya Sabha. In 1999, Abhishek Manu Singhviwas awarded by the Global Leader of Tomorrow Award.

The character of this leader was challenged very recently by the end of the last year when he was accused by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for tax evasion. BJP also accused other Congress leaders for generating black money in the country. Following this case, Sonia Gandhi, president of the Indian National Congress party, had been asked to clarify this issue.IncomeTaxSettlement Commission imposed Abhishek Manu Singhvi wit h a penalty of about Rs.57 crore for the period of financial years 2010-2011 and 2012- 2013. Following this levy, Singhvi filed a plea for exemption from prosecution of the charges, but his petition was also rejected.

According to local news, Income Tax Settlement Commission department monitored huge expenses under Abhishek Manu Singhvis head during the financial year 2010-2011. When he was asked for the records, he failed to produce any vouchers for the aforementioned period of time. He claimed to have lost all of the records as termites attacked the office of his subordinate where the record had been placed. Likewise, in the financial year, 2012- 2013, Singhvi spent money more than Rs75 crore on books, stationery, printing and other things. This time, however, he produced most of thevouchers, but the records related to trifling amount could not be confirmed by the taxdepartment.

InFeb2012,SambitPatra,BJP spokespersonreportedthat Abhishek Manu Singhvispent Rs 5 crore on the purchase of laptops which he gave to his legal assistants.Singhvi is assisted in his work by fourteen advocates and professionals. According toPatra, Abhishek Singhvi had to purchase 1250 laptops, each of Rs 40, 000 to account for the amount he had claimed to have spent. Further, he said that Singhvi spent about Rs 36 crore on the purchase of solar panels for the company he owned, whereas the seller of the solar panels agreed in front of IT authorities that Rs 10 crore had been repaid to the sons of AbhishekSinghvi as a loan.

Keeping in mind the above facts and statements, it becomes controversial whether theclaimsof Abhishek Manu Singhviare correct or not.H owever, most of the commissions statements contradict the claims of Singhvi. Additionally, the presence of certain loopholes in Singhvi's claims may serve as the proof that Abhishek Manu Singhvi has set out these claims to exempt from the taxes.
