Income Tax Dept Sends Notice To Arvind Kejriwal, Asks For Rs 9 Lakh Dues

The Income Tax department has sent a notice to Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal asking him to pay dues of more than Rs 9 lakh to the government, the Times of India reported.

Kejriwal will place his side of the case at a press conference on Friday at 4 pm in Delhi.

The I-T department says, though Kejriwal had resigned five years back in 2006, it has still not accepted his resignation. So, technically, in the government's view, Kejriwal is still a government servant.

Kejriwal had given his resignation from Indian Revenue Service in February 2006. The notice says Kejriwal has violated bond conditions. His resignation, according to the government, can only be accepted once the dues are cleared.

Kejriwal has denied this contention saying he had not violated any conditions and questioned the timing of the notice which he said was being hastily pursued after a lull of over two years.
