In a first of its kind initiative, the Government has gone public with the names of 18 tax defaulters, including Goldsukh Trade and Somani Cements, who, in all, owe over Rs 500 crore to the exchequer, mostly from Gujarat, the native of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In a bid to force them into paying their dues, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) posted on its website the names of 18 defaulters, of whom 11 are based in Gujarat. "Defaulters are advised to pay tax arrears immediately," said the notice listing them and that most were untraceable.
