Set up a task force and start bringing back black money stashed abroad
“BJP is committed to initiate the process of tracking down and bringing back black money stashed in foreign banks and offshore accounts. We will set up a Task Force for this purpose”

The verdict
The Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act was enacted in 2015 and a one-time compliance window ran. A published total of black money brought back to India was not found, so the core promise is judged only partly delivered.
Rule applied: Partially kept: yes/no promise only partly done → 5
“Black money: the recovery is still being counted. Offshore.”
