An indication of this was available from the government side on Tuesday.

“We are trying to work out something,” was the refrain of parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Kumar Bansal to repeated questions on the issue.

Citing difficulties in making public names of foreign bank account holders, whose details are now with government, Bansal said such a move could result in Indian government not being able to get names of other such account holders in future as the information has been procured on the basis of certain agreements.
