The reassessment notice for 2011-2012 had been issued by the department in March 2018.<br \/>\nThe I-T department had told the High Court that the All India Congress Committee had transferred funds to the tune of Rs 99 crore to Associate Journal Ltd, adding that Rahul Gandhi had willfully chosen to not disclose the fact that he held the director&#8217;s post at Young India.<br \/>\nHowever, Rahul Gandhi&#8217;s counsel asserted that the Congress President did not receive any income from the source, and<br \/>\nhence is not liable for any tax.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The National Herald scam is an ongoing case filed in 2012 by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy against Sonia, Rahul, their companies and associates.
