The news about sharing information on black money with the Swiss government raises quite a few questions (“India, Switzerland agree to curb black money”, June 7). This will be only the tip of the iceberg. What about information from other foreign countries? How about black money held by business giants in India? Except the salaried class and businessmen with integrity, how many declare at least 20 per cent of their income? Honest officers face many difficulties with their transfer and retention in the same grade for a long time to kill their enthusiasm being the practice for decades. It would be no exaggeration to say that the government needs supermen at the helm to ensure that things are honest and transparent.
