evidence: The government has claimed in a written release, quoting Bank for International Settlements (BIS) statistics that non-bank loans and deposits that Indians maintain in Swiss bank accounts fell by 34 percent from 2016 to 2017 and by 82 percent from 2013 to 2017, that is during the NDA regime. [...] What one discovers is that the very same non-bank loans and deposits, that the finance minister referred to, fell even more sharply during the UPA government. The fall starts in 2007 actually, when non-bank loans and deposits held by Indians in Swiss banks stood at $2.24 billion. This falls to $1.32 billion in 2009, a drop of nearly 60 percent. If one takes the second UPA period, these loans and deposits in Swiss banks fall from $1.32 billion in 2009, to an average of $650 million by 2014 the last year of the UPA govt, that’s a fall of a further 50 percent. Thus from 2007 to 2014, the very same loans and deposits have fallen by a cumulative 71 percent.
