This is the third list put in public domain by the IT department," a senior official said.The department, in the notice, has asked these "defaulters" to pay their tax arrears "immediately" and at the same time asked public to inform it if they have any knowledge of these people.Others figuring in the latest list include Ahmedabad-based Jag Heet Exporters Pvt Ltd (Rs 18.45 crore), Jashubhai Jewellers (Rs 32.13 crore), Kalyan Jewels Pvt Ltd (Rs 16.77 crore), Liverpool Retail India Limited (Rs 32.16 crore), Dharnendra Overseas Ltd (Rs 19.87 crore) and Praful M Akhani (Rs 29.11 crore).Hyderabad-based Nexxoft Infotel Ltd owes Rs 68.21 crore while Bhopal-based Great Metals Products Pvt Ltd owe Rs 13.01 to the I-T department in arrears and as unpaid taxes, the notice said.The public notice mentions that a number of these assesses are either "not traceable" or have "inadequate or no assets for recovery".The taxman had earlier this year issued two similar notices containing the names of 49 such defaulters with a tax liability of over Rs 2,000 crore.The department has also mentioned, against the name of each defaulter, the regional I-T authority to whom any information can be given by the public about these defaulters.Other defaulters featuring on the list include Surat-based Sakshi Exports (Rs 26.76 crore), Smt Bimla Gupta of Karol Bagh in Delhi (Rs 13.96 crore), Bhopal-based Garima Machinery Pvt Ltd (Rs 6.98 crore), Mumbai-based Dhiren Anantrai Modi (Rs 10.33 crore), Hemang C Shah (Rs 22.51 crore), Mohd Haji alias Yusuf Motorwala (Rs 22.34 crore) and Chandigarh-located Venus Remedies Pvt Ltd (Rs 15.25 crore).The period of assessment of these defaulters ranges from 1989-90 to 2013-14."The entries in the list are specific to the tax arrear/assessment year mentioned.
