HSBC Geneva, a tax order has questioned the very approach of the Income Tax (I-T) department in going after individuals whose names figured in the infamous list of information that was stolen by an employee of the Swiss private banking arm of the British bank. In a decision that could have a bearing on other `HSBC account’ cases, a tax tribunal last week has ruled that the I-T department cannot go back 16 years to reopen old matters to tax the ‘peak balance’ lying in such bank accounts.
