Nandan Nilekani News

Infosys Co-Founder and Aadhaar architect Nandan Nilekani met his wife Roshni Nilekani during a quiz competition in IIT.

Two decades ago, Rohini Nilekani embarked on her philanthropic journey by providing financial support for young girls.

Nandan Nilekani, the Philanthropist and non-executive chairman of Infosys has a net worth of Rs 21,315 crore.

The new portal was launched on June 7, with the I-T department, as well as the government, saying it was aimed at making compliance more taxpayer-friendly. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman herself had asked Infosys and its Chairman Nandan Nilekani to fix the technical glitches. He noted that as new functions are introduced on the "complex" platform, concerns related to filing forms, e-proceedings and other instances were observed.

Sitharaman asked Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani to fix technical glitches being encountered on the income tax department's new e-filing website. Infosys was in 2019 awarded a contract to develop the next-generation income tax filing system. Infosys had also developed the GST Network (GSTN) portal.

More than half of Parekh's remuneration came from the exercise of stock options. Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani has voluntarily chosen not to receive any remuneration in FY21. TCS CEO drew a pay package of Rs 20.36 crore in 2020-21.

The finance ministry said such glitches on the portal leads to an unhealthy tax compliance requirement, more so on account of such disruptions, some taxpayers end up becoming liable for payment of late fee, interest.

Claiming to be an employee in the $11-billion company`s finance department, the whistleblower reportedly complained that he was unable to disclose his identity fearing retaliation for the damning disclosures he was making against Parkeh.

Global software major Infosys on Wednesday strongly condemned the "mischievous insinuations" made by anonymous sources against the co-founders and former colleagues, suggesting their involvement in the recent whistleblower allegations.

Chairman Nandan Nilekani's statement said that a board member received two anonymous complaints on September 30, which were placed before the audit committee on October 10 and before the non-executive members of the Board on October 11.

In January, the Reserve Bank of India had set up the five-member panel on deepening digital payments with a view to encouraging digitisation of payments and enhance financial inclusion through digitisation.

The Infosys co-founder defended Aadhar and said that it never collected data of an individual.

He was addressing the '2019 India Forum of the PCI Security Standards Council' through video conferencing here.

Nilekani along with the team will review the existing status of digitisation of payments in the country, identify the current gaps in the ecosystem and suggest ways to bridge them, RBI said.

Introduction of technology-based solutions also makes it possible to cater to the requirements of the smaller borrowers, who were neglected in the pre-nationalisation era, the technocrat said.

Pai said that its a great move by the Modi govt as the scheme needs a massive IT infrastructure capable of handling one billion plus transactions a year.

Earlier this year, a whistleblower had written to the market regulator over alleged lapses in the Panaya deal and Bansal's severance pay.

As the CEO, Parekh will have to achieve growth while being careful not to antagonize Infosys` founders

On scouting new CEO for Infosys, Murthy said there is no need to give advice to Nilekani because he had been a good CEO himself.

India is on a "very good wicket" on privacy in this age of digital technology, artitect of the Aadhaar scheme Nandan Nilekani has said.
