In a statement issued today, the ministry said that the Income-Tax department probed over 400 cases of alleged disproportionate assets and Rs 130 crore in cash and jewellery was recovered since Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes ceased to be legal tender.

In over 30 cases, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) found serious irregularities that are beyond the purview of the I-T Act; they have been referred to the ED and Central Bureau of Investigation.

It also states that Bengaluru saw the maximum number of references to Enforcement Directorate of seizures of high denomination demonetised notes.
