In a significant clampdown on black money, Indian government on Tuesday struck off over 2 lakh company names from the register of companies for failing to comply with regulatory requirements and directed banks to freeze their accounts. More action against such companies are anticipated.

According to a senior finance ministry official, banks have been asked to keep an eye on company accounts which are inactive for a long time and which are non-compliant with government regulations.
